GAY, NOT GAY, STRAIGHT, NOT STRAIGHT
We now know that many men are attracted to gay sex, but not to men. I’ve wrten extensively about my book, Is My Hband Gay or Bi? A Gui for Women Concerned About Their Men, but simply put, some men have no sire to be nnected wh gay culture, and scerely nsir themselv to not be gay or bisexual.
In our culture, many people thk that bisexualy is jt a gateway to homosexualy, but is not. It is te that some gay men thk at first that they are bisexual, but this is largely due to the cultural taboo agast beg gay. If a man wants anal sex means he is gay or bisexual.
Our culture has cid that receivg anal sex equat to beg gay, but “gay” is more than jt a behavr. This would be like sayg that gay men who don’t like anal sex are really straight but don’t know yet, and their butt will have to tell them at some pot.
