Straight men who have engaged suatnal homosexualy (such as prison or the ary), what's your story? I've had a few dnk gay enunters and qutn if I'd want to aga.

GAY SNA EXPERIENC

Steve's seen me have gay iends, even though he don't have any. He's admted to watchg gay porn the past, and I myself got to the last few months.

CAN A STRAIGHT GUY ETHILLY ACCEPT ORAL SEX OM HIS GAY BUDDY?

I'm pretty nfint I'm straight; I watch gay porn and other than thkg if the guys have nice bodi, I don't really get aroed. TL;DR I'm a straight guy who experimented wh a gay guy simply bee I wasn't sure I was straight. Is mon for straight people to do homoerotic thgs while dnk?

They start llg me gay and a faggot or somethg. We were both cryg and fally he start lghg and told how gay we were or somethg I don't que remember how went down but me and my brother got away. So my cursy got the bt of me and I started lookg up gay porn.

So I'm totally a closet bi/gay. TL;DR - I thought I was straight, got cur, started chattg wh a guy 3 hours away, met up, did everythg together, talked everyday sce we met, velopg feelgs for each other, need to take slow, not sure how but termed to figure out, never been happier, both closet bi/gay. I was kidnapped and forced to have homosexual terurse.
