Why Gay Guy Love Talking To Straight Dudes

Why Gay Guy Love Talking To Straight Dudes

For some, it's a badge of honor, however, for others, it's not what you would certainly assume

It's not that Alex, a gay 26-year-old male from New York City, seeks out straight men to hook up with-- they simply flock to him in droves. \"As someone who is very effeminate and nonconforming, gay men don't actually look for me,\" he states. But hetero individuals? \"I can't even keep matter of the number of straight men I have actually fucked. The limitation doesn't exist!\"

Now, I couldn't inform you precisely how many straight-identified males hook up with queer men like Alex-- the dualing truths are that many guys that hook up with various other guys do not determine as right, and also many straight men won't admit to having sex with an additional dude, making this a tough subject to research study-- however as both myself and a handful of my bi as well as gay good friends have actually experienced, it's fairly a whole lot.

How \"straight\" these males are isn't specifically clear, but according to what little research study feeds on heterosexual guys that have sex with queer men, it's not an emotional or physical destination that attracts them to us (or at the very least they won't confess that it is). Rather, as Jane Ward, an associate teacher of females's studies at the University of The golden state, Riverside lays out in her 2015 publication Not Gay: Sex In Between Straight White Men, straight men hook up with various other guys to \"declare their manliness\" (and also brightness). Other research study, such as this 2018 research released in the journal Sexualities, locates that straight individuals see queer guys as \"living vibrators\" or \"incorporeal things of need that supply sex-related satisfaction.\"
