Ah yes, the male sexuality. Something I've struggled with for a bit myself.
I would agree with others that there is a noticeable polarity in male sexuality in western culture. I personally believe it is cultural. I've been in social circles where male sexuality has been just a fluid as the females. Let's look at the Spartans, man love was a pretty big feature of their culture.
I personally have had sexual experiences with men. Only a couple. Unfortunately because I was so awkward about my own sexuality at the time I found those experiences to be awkward also. I have no fear telling people that I'm bi curious now. Some men I find sexually attractive, others I'm very emotionally attracted to. However, those men are few and far between and on the whole I am far more emotionally and physically attracted to women.
I long ago accept I have a gay side to me, and TFP really helped me to articulate it a while ago. If a person came into my life that I fell in love with and I wanted to be with them for the rest of my life, I would have no problem if that person happened to be a man. But what I refuse to do is change who I am to fit into any idea of what a gay or straight man should be. I have absolutely no problem with gays or gay culture, but to be honest the whole camp thing isn't my cup of chai and gay culture even less so. I have no problem with straight men, but the emerging 'bloke' culture that seems to become more prevalent in Australia drives me up the fucking wall.
It's dream I'll never see, but one day I'd love to see people just be who they are and accept others as they are. Though I think the Sun will be nothing more than the solid carbon remnants of a white dwarf before that happens.
