I wouldn't pursue it but if Raylan Givens tried to kiss me, I'm not sure what I'd do.
Kidding, of course.
But not really.

I dont get it. But...i dont think there is such a thing as gay or straight so...
What kind of schools offer homosexuality degrees?
Thier list is awful. It's like they're afraid to follow through with the premise of the article for fear of being thought gay. Thinking another male is cool is not a man crush.
It's not a man crush unless you've, at the very least, had a fleeting thought of holding his cock in your mouth and found your jimmies unexpectedly unrustled.

It's just so funny how whenever the issue of sexuality not being black and white comes up, there are the guys (most of them tbh) who have to quip in with "well, not me, I'm 110% straight!"
Oh, and btw, it was a joke.
I was with you up until "jonesing for some cock" and then I got all flustered.
A significant factor in sexuality is fetishization that is likely developed at a very young age. This is demonstrated in the amount of abusers who were abused themselves. I think it thoroughly permeates every aspect of sexuality to such a degree that even being a tit man or an ass man is based in it
An example I will use of myself is that I often prefer women with clothes on, particularly slim, busty ones. This is probably based in that my early life had significant stigma around that and repression related to it, which brought obsession
I appreciate the writing style as to emulate the girl's club.Quote:

Alls I mean to say, is that "degrees of gay" seems very primitive. What defines each degree? Is liking cock a prerequisite to be in any particular degree, and how much of a liking does it have to be? Does admiring someone's body at the gym make you 1/10th gay? What if you only like the upper echelon of guys, movie stars with billions of dollars and a solid build? Where would that place you?Quote:

The truth of the matter, is that society is slowly understanding that you can love someone that is of the same sex. Once that is no longer a barrier, then it becomes just a matter of standards. Its not wrong to love someone of the same gender, just like its not wrong to love someone of a different race. And yet, no one says "im a degree 4 latina lover".
I dont mean to suggest everyone is bisexual, just that it will soon become another factor in dating/relationships. Instead of having a strict rule of "no men" (that is just kind of there without justification), it might now become "hrm, ok so Its not a pussy...hes fucking strong though and with any luck, there will be no drama". The fact that the person is male may become just a consideration , just like race, height, wealth, complexion, body fat, etc may have already been factors with women.
JKDS scurred he's gonna be outed as a 9th degree gaybelt
Hey's saying there is no 9th degree because there's no way to distinguish it from the 8th 4th and -3rd degrees.
I like some cocks.
Did you know that they curve in different directions? Fucking weird.
And there isn't.
Yet.

I prefer a masculinity-femininity spectrum instead of heterosexual-homosexual one. This is because I find that it's not that I'm attracted to women, but that I'm attracted to femininity. This dichotomy much more sufficiently explains fetishes. An example is that most men who like transexuals don't also like men the way that homosexuals do. I explain this by claiming that its the feminization that men who like transexuals like
Furthermore, I recall a study that showed that the vast majority of gay men are really gay. Like, they're overtly attracted to masculine features, as opposed to simply being attracted to dudes. If this is the case, then what does it mean for a man who likes highly feminized men but not the average masculine man?
This and your other post brings up some interesting thoughts for me then. As stated before, I prefer a more muscular woman than a some of those large curvy ones. I prefer smaller asses and tits than many guys too. Not sure what that could mean for me.Quote:

Straight guys who look up to another guy, who find that person cool, that is an evolutionary mental mechanism that makes us want to emulate other examplary males. We take on their mannerisms, and usually more, such as their way of dressing, interests, and so on. Women do the same with females they look up to. It has nothing to do with being gay, it has everything to do with being equipped with a brain that has to ensure we fit in in social life.
Being able to follow society's norms and fads is the primary way us human beings show we have a fully working brain. Others are being able to excel at some arts and crafts or sports (singers, athletes). Our brain is the most complex organ we have, and as such the best way to show our genetic purity and superiority. Our peacock's feathers that serve as a heuristic to peak into our genes which cannot be observed directly.
That is why being gay and in denial, or hiding it, must be so excruciating. You're attracted to males (because of their male features) but at the same time you follow society's rolemodels on how to be a man that is attracted to females.
It's normal. It's the evolutionary mechanism of niche strategies. It also explains why fetishes exist, such as a fetish for large women. A more extreme example, but basically a small amount of males interested in large women, a niche where there isn't much competition. The evolutionary approach can explain everything in a very consistent way, that is why it is the basis for all modern psychology now. But I don't know to what degree people here are interested in it so I'll just leave it at that.Quote:

I think bottoms may have a bit of a female brain, but I'm not sure you're theory holds for the gay tops.
ufs theory is also weird, there are all sorts of different gay couples like twinks and bears, plenty of examples where the attraction isn't necessarily the man features (im took that to not mean cock btw)
Degrees of Homosexuality? That must mean there's

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Maybe fetish wasn't the right word to use, it makes you think of outlandish fetishes. Like guys who like to see women pee or take a horse's cock up the ass. But remember that because our brains are such a complex organism strange things can happen. If a fetish actually impedes on a person's ability to mate, they'll simply get weeded out of the genepool, that's how it works. I meant it more in the sense of differing tastes (the fat women taste is called a fetish though). The most attractive thing about a female is still that you have a connection with her, that's she's interested in you.Quote:

The colloquial use of "fetish" is different than the way I used it. Something as seemingly ordinary as the overt adoration of large breasts in the West (specifically America) can probably be considered a fetish. It's nearly impossible to test, but I theorize that all pre-civilization cultures didn't worship breasts anywhere close to the way we do. The short of it is a combination of extreme Puritanism and marketing that has made a culture that emphasizes breasts but feels dirty if they're ever revealed. Breasts have always been sexual, but the massive focus on them appears to be an exclusively Americanized thing. It's not a coincidence that Puritanism only became dominant in America

Perhaps. Muscle isn't that big of a masculine trait relative to other ones. Femininity has its own unique muscle patterns and sizes. Lots of men prefer petite too.Quote:

Mind fuck!
I have just realized that Jack Sawyer and jackvance are two different people! I recognize both names, but whenever I have read their posts I just thought of them as "Jack". Not until now when they actual replied to one another did I realize that Jack was made up of two different people.

Homosexuality is the one thing we're puzzled about. It seems to be something that is inevitable to pop up in a population for whatever reason, as there are also homosexual animals.Quote:

I agree with this. There are the recreational fetishes that don't matter for a person's reproduction - it makes no difference if you like to see girls pee, as long as you still fuck them normally also. But the niche strategies part is a thing. Our brain takes clues from our upbringing (nurture) to form them.Quote:

If only you had paid more attention you should have realized that the 2 jacks have different degrees of homosexualityQuote:

I mostly remember people by their avatar (except for the WW folk), which is why it sucks when people change them. Like, there's this superman avatar guy that always posts pictures of Game of Thrones.
I think of Jack Sawyer as the big, fun loving, New York guy (from pics, maybe visiting?)
I think of jackvance as the Chess and Tribal Wars player.
Tribal Wars!

sexuality is such a weird thing to analyze since the only thing you have to go off of is your own experience. it's hard to understand how people are naturally because you can't isolate people's natural behaviors from those behaviors influenced by social pressures.
like wuf said, chris ryan wrote some good stuff on the subject of human sexuality. ive only read 'sex at dawn' but it was very thought provoking and is more focused on "straight" sexuality in culture. it will definitely make anyone considering settling down with 1 partner think differently.
im on the gay side of the spectrum but some days i feel gayer/straighter than others. as far as labeling it... like sweet brown said aint nobody got time fo dat!
from a couple nights ago at the bar, this 40+ y/o woman was hitting on me
her: "so are you here waiting on your girlfriend?"
me:"no"
her:"so you dont have a girlfriend?"
me: lol "no... i dont date girls"
she considers this for 10 seconds......"so.......... youre a playa?"
sexuality is weird, over all.
being raised in a crazy close-minded area about homosexuality/bisexuality i was always confused. i remember thinking a lot about how attractive other females were, then when puberty hit, it was like "hmn!".
even though i find females attractive and would get all sexy-time with them i wouldn't date them. over half the time i can't stand them, then again that goes for males and females. there's a few females i like as friends, but then i completely cut off the sexuality part of it.

I haven't read it, but I positive it's great. Chris Ryan is legit. He always has the most thought-provoking insights into unusual cultural dynamics with a focus on sexQuote:
