HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GAY
Could gay guys be the ultimate wg men for their straight, male iends? * not gay but want to experiment *
Of urse, some intify as straight but are realy closeted bisexuals or gays by sexual orientatn—perhaps likely to e out at a later age (if ever). I Experimented Wh A GuyIf you are a guy that experimented wh a guy, you are not alone, and is not somethg that you should be bothered about, bee is pletely normal to want to explore one’s sexualy and there’s no reason guys shouldn’t do parts of society own upon guys experimentg wh other guys, which is not somethg that tends to affect women as much, and fact, women beg bicur or bisexual is much more mon than guys experimentg wh each possible reason for this may be that the manls or genr inty of men is often associated, unfortunately, wh their sexual orientatn, and they are often tght that if they experiment wh other guys, means that they are lser somehow, or not “man enough” is extremely unfortunate bee one needs to be able to experiment wh and explore their sexualy whout any worri of what that means for their genr inty, and this is not somethg that one should be prived has also been extensive rearch on guys experimentg wh other guys, and one such survey was found that the stigma agast men experimentg wh other men is so harsh that about 63% of women say that they wouldn’t even date a man who had sex wh another man, while the oppose is not te, and most men said that they would gladly date a woman who had experimented wh other women, which shows how accepted female homosexualy and sexual fluidy are. Savs Williams, who wrote the book Mostly Straight, says, “I know of no evince that shows that men are ls likely than women to have an ‘experimental phase, I do believe men are ls likely to report to rearchers, on surveys, or to their iends and fai due, part, to the ‘homohysteria’ that pervas our culture.
IS YOUR MAN GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL?
If your partner is havg trouble alg wh the ia of you experimentg wh another guy, the healthy thg to do is also to clarify wh her exactly what’s behd her ncern bee sometim the partner may be ncerned that you may leave her for a man or they may feel disfort wh a certa sexual act, but most s may be a batn of the factors, the important thg to work through this is to talk to your you have heard her ncerns you n tailor your approach to the nversatn ways that bt addrs them like if she is ncerned about you beg gay and possibly leavg her for another man eventually, you n tell her that was jt a phase and that you don’t feel the same kd of attractn towards men as you do may also help to alleviate her fears about you leavg her by showg her rearch of how mon is for men to seek sexual timacy wh other men but not be attracted to them, and this may help her feel better, pecially if she is someone who rponds to facts and figur or ratnal may fd that when you give your partner an aquate explanatn of sexual orientatn, your inty, and your behavr, may often help her accept your past, but if she is stnchly agast on moral grounds or a way that spells that she is perhaps a ltle homophobic, then you might want to nsir lookg for a different partner.
ConclnIn this brief gui, we discsed the statement “I experimented wh a guy”, and shared some experienc of people who have experimented wh other guys and how they felt about is very mon and much more acceptable for girls to experiment wh their sexualy, and is even somethg of a trope many TV shows and movi, n be very taboo for guys to do the same thg, and bisexualy men is nmned much more than is reason for this is probably bee same-sex relatnships of any kd, even if they are merely experimentatn or exploratn of one’s sexualy, are immediately nnected wh how manly the guy is or how macho he is, and some people the society ci that he is not worthy of rpect or do not have the same value as iology is what mak so many men homophobic to beg wh, and n be extremely problematic for any guy that is even slightly bicur, bee they may not be able to explore that aspect of themselv, leavg them que unfulfilled you have any more qutns or ments or if you relate to the statement “I experimented wh a guy”, please feel ee to reach out to . No, is not gay to experiment wh another guy, n be classified as bisexual at bt, but experimentatn wh sexualy is not somethg that fely means that the person surely intifi wh the sexual orientatn of beg gay. Whether you want to experiment wh another guy you should do , bee if you are fact gay, you will only be able to figure out if you are when you experiment or explore your mon is to experiment wh another guy?
It is not that mon for guys to experiment wh another guy, but is not rare eher, however, when guys experiment wh other guys they may be more likely to go nial about the experience due to how society looks at homosexualy n be more mon for guys to experiment wh another guy when they are plac where there isn’t as much stigma about sexual relatnships and relatnships that volve experimentatn are not all boys experiment wh homosexualy? No, all boys don’t experiment wh homosexualy, but often that is a functn of the way society tends to thk of homosexualy boys and the fact that exerimentatn of a homosexual nature boys is stigmatized much more than that girls. A mory of the men I terviewed were homophobic and held prejudice agast LGBTQ2+ people and this prejudice mak the thought of an LGBTQ2+ inty unappealg to them.
