I don't know if you are saying it this way, but I'm so sick of being a man being called homophobia in this country. No str8 guy I know or have ever known would want some guy all up in the crack of his ass, no matter how close they are. Imagine going to your buddies' house on SuperBowl Sunday and him and another buddy are spooned on the couch in front of the TV. I don't even like football and that just repulses me. Most men by nature are not interested in any kind of physical contact with aother men unless they are gay, or they are extremely close and trust the man in question. Just because a guy doesn't want to kiss other men, snuggle on a couch in front of Monday Night Football, and give men hugs doesn't make him homophobic. If we're phobic of anything it's the intimacy and exposure of weakness to another man. Most straight men can allow allows themselves to let go emotionally around their woman, and suppress their "weaker" emotions around other men. Given this you can't expect a str8 guy to express himself emotionally in a physical way to other men. Of course the ultimate disclaimer applies (Many but not all).
Like I said, I'm very supportive of homosexuality. Naturally intimate emotional contact between males in part of the territory. In love you can expect nothing less from your partner, and I want to see all gays come out and marry and have houses and families just like anyone else. I refuse to accept the label of homophobe just becuase I don't want to engage in intimate behavior with males. Homophobe has become another smear word to intimidate ppl and make them look like something bad, when being a straight man is not bad.
