Beware the flirtatious direct man – six types to see out for
When you are growing up a future homosexual, you learn very quickly that your relationships with linear men are never going to be anything other than complex.
Whether you’re trying to explain to your dad for the eightieth moment that you’re not going to boot that football assist at him no matter how many times it flies over your leader, or enduring the weekly terror of “Backs against the wall, lads” in the showers after PE, it can be difficult to make yourself understood. So alike, but oceans apart.
Many a time I own spent a puzzling fifteen minutes in a kitchen entire of vodka bottles, while a direct guy slinks around me like smoke from Marlene Dietrich’s fiftieth cigarette of the evening.
In less enlightened times, when I was much younger and even more socially awkward, I clearly retain almost dreading entity introduced to direct men in case they mocked me or disliked me, preferring instead to make a beeline for their girlfriends, sisters or mothers.

According to nationally-representative surveys in the United States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men.
In the new book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America released today, UBC sociologist Dr. Tony Silva argues that these men – many of whom enjoy hunting, fishing and shooting guns – are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.
After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva found that they savor a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly spotting with straight culture.
We spoke with Dr. Silva about his book.
Why do straight-identified men have sex with other men?
The majority of the men I interviewed reported that they are primarily attracted to women, not men. Most of these men are also married to women and prefer to have sex with women.

“We fell into each other’s arms because of our similarities in our career and because of our age and because we appreciate the same sort of things.” This quote could quite likely be the beginning of a wonderful romance story, but instead, it is a quote about friendship delivered toThe Huffington Post by Sir Ian McKellen about his decade’s long friendship with Sir Patrick Stewart.
The two men first came to know each other well on the set of the first X-Men clip in 1999, and although the duo played adversaries on the silver screen, offscreen, they were developing a near friendship. On the set, the two men had adjoining trailers, where they spent more moment getting to realize each other than in front of the camera. By the end of filming, they had discovered how much they had in common, and to this day, they share one of Hollywood’s most well-known friendships.
Both actors are often photographed together doing mundane things, such as walking a boardwalk while deep in conversation. Perhaps one of the reasons their friendship has drawn so much accepted attention is the duality of their sexual identitie
Falling in love with a straight guy can be a painful experience, especially for gay men who yearn for a affectionate connection with someone who is not interested in them romantically. The unattainable love and lack of reciprocation can lead to a sense of heartbreak, confusion, and frustration. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been there, and I feel your pain.
Falling for straight guys was one of my love patterns, too. And as a Gay Digital dating & Relationship Coach, I’ve worked with many clients who have experienced the pain of falling for straight guys.
In this blog post, I will explore why this happens, the perceived benefits of it, and how to modify your mindset and approach to it.
Falling in love with a vertical guy: why it hurts
When you fall for a straight guy, you might feel like you’re stuck in a romantic limbo. You might feel fond you can’t move on from your feelings, or that you’re holding out hope that maybe he’ll change his mind. The pain of unrequited cherish can be overwhelming, and it’s a feeling that many gay men can relate to.
Furthermore, the reality that the person you’re interested in is direct c
LastweekI took to my Facebook wall to repost this HuffPost article about 13 straight male German stars kissing for a GQ photo shoot to complain homophobia and intolerance. Some gay men posted and sent me messages stating that they found it erotic to watch two straight men kiss -- sometimes more so than watching two gay men kiss. Some said they found this as erotic as two women kissing might be to a straight guy. This got me wondering: Why are some gay men sexually turned on by linear men? Some even opt for straight men over male lover men!
Before I get readers insisting that not all gay men are attracted to straight men, authorize me say I realize that. I know, too, that it's politically incorrect to admit that there are gay men who are attracted to and pursue straight men, thanks to the myth that we gay men will pursue anyone who's male, ignoring social norms and acceptable etiquette. Of course this is ridiculous. In fact, it's so ridiculous that I performed some stand-up comedy on the topic, which you can see here:
