Straight men seeking gay men

Re: i'm a female & i'm (sexually) attracted to same-sex attracted guys

Got it, so it does sound favor a big part of this simply has to undertake with a certain type of guy (but not the only type of guy) you come across attractive.

When you want to be a guy in those moments, what is it, specifically, that you want? Is it to be competent to engage in certain things sexually? To have a certain role in a sexual dynamic? Something else? And when you speak this happens when you see sweet gay guys in your surroundings, are those guys who you know are gay, or who look a certain way?

With fetishizing or objectifying people, that depends on whether you spot these guys as individual, unique humans or more as a blank slate that you can project your desires onto. It's also sound to reflect about what's attracting you to them and how much of it might be based on stereotypes about that specific group (it might be the case that none of it is) rather than the realities of that individual person.

Is BRO a dating app for straight men to meet straight men?

This week on BBC Three, Thomas Gray explores what it means to be a contemporary British man in " The Ladventures of Thomas Gray, external".

As we all know, 'BRO' is American for 'LAD'. You may not have realised, however, that BRO, external is also the name of a new social app just for men. It’s the Yorkie of the social app world.

It's heavily branded with laddish imagery - like those red cups you see people chugging beer out of in frat films - and language too. It also appears a lot like a hook-up app. So is it a place for straight, manly men to date other straight, manly men?

On further investigation, I think it might be a bit more nuanced than that. Actually, this is the question I’m investigating here…

What's it all about?

Only one way to find out, I assume. Let's get er knee deep.

This is when I decided to set up a brofile (sorry, the puns are a bit easy) and start gathering some bros! Well, actually, my editor sort of told me to – which did put me in mind of that

This is why straight men sometimes seek out gay sex.

Here’s a trend that has a lot of people confused. On dating website sites and apps there’s a growing new category:  gay men seeking sex with straight men. Or straight men seeking sex with gay men.

In America, there are reportedly more than three million men who identify as straight – but secretly hold sex with other men.

A recent piece on  explored this trend, pointing out that 10 per cent of ‘male seeking male’ ads, were asking for men who did not identify as gay or bi. On uppermost of this, 24 per cent of ‘male seeking male’ ads were actually posted by men who were not gay or bi.

So why do straight men sometimes seek out gay sex?

Therapist Joe Kort, speaking to Salon, said that it wasn’t necessarily because these men are closeted or actually bisexual. Instead, he theorised that men merely relax how easy it was to get this type of sex.

Many people become confused about this because they think these men are gay or at least bi because they are hooking up with other men… But these men are not attracted to the men, they are attr

Why do some straight men have sex with other men?

According to nationally-representative surveys in the United States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men.

In the new book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America released today, UBC sociologist Dr. Tony Silva argues that these men – many of whom enjoy hunting, fishing and shooting guns – are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.

After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva found that they love a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly naming with straight culture.

We spoke with Dr. Silva about his book.

Why do straight-identified men have sex with other men?

The majority of the men I interviewed reported that they are primarily attracted to women, not men. Most of these men are also married to women and prefer to have sex with women. They explained that although they loved their wives, their marital sex lives were not as active as they
