Nah, Trysexuals are the ultimate in curious/open-mindedness. And it's a better gay joke then that one earlier.

It's fun because you have the freedom to choose who you want to be with. I feel free, and not tied down to one side or the other lol.

I feel like a child in a candy store :P

I dunno why, but for some reason the "gay" community doesnt really fascinate me per say. More like intruiges me. Like I want to know more and understand how gay people think. But at the same time I dont want to be made fun of by my piers (if that makes sense).

I blame my wife actually. Funny story:

When we first started dating (about 10 years ago), I went to her house for like our 3rd date. Now I had known from our first couple dates that she was....well....how to put it nicley......a fuckin freak in the sack! And so was I. So I walk into her house and she has the TV going in her room. Im like "cool what we watchin.....a movie?" she says "something like that, go check it out." I walk into her room and she has bi-sexual porn going on. I didnt see exactly what it was at first, I was just happy it was porn. So I sat down proceeded to watch it and I sat there I guess with a look on my face like I was in high school history class. I was studying and try to learn what was going on. She still says to this day "thats how I knew you were the one for me. You didnt go running out screaming."

Since then we have added some gay porn to the library and watch it quite often. Now I guess this stems another question from an ignorant straight guy:

What do you call a guy who is married and straight (i know that might not mean anything) that doesnt mind things like that? I dont go around checking out guys at all. Cause honestly they dont turn me on like that. Its more just the sexual act than anything. So where does that put a guy like me?
 
A straight guy who is not a douchebag?

The only problem is that gay guys will probably have the hots for you but oops, you have a wife

Straight I'd say. Perhaps bi-curious at most :) x

Now, bizarre as it may seem, I really have no real care for the gay world or it's culture. I adamantly refuse to take part in pride parades and such, because I see them as a bit of a joke.

I find though, that a lot of people don't seem to ask questions. Maybe they're worried what people will think of them? Who knows. But the only way to dispel a lot of the stigma that still seems to persist, is to answer the questions, whether they're being asked or not. This is why, at least from my perspective, a lot of gays I've met come off as 'pre-emptively defensive', usually over-explaining things.

So your concerns make perfect sense, but the fact that you can still ask shows you're a better man then most, who assume and leave it there.

I found your story interesting, but not surprising. You seem open-minded, but in a way that's secure with who you are. By that, I mean some people can be open-minded, and allow it to really change them, whereas you know who YOU are, you just want to know more about everything else. As a family man, that's a great foundation for your son to build his father figure image from: Someone who knows who he is, and where he stands, and isn't afraid to ask, explore and learn.

Anyway, that got a bit mushy there. Essentially, when you watch gay porn as a straight man, it doesn't really mean anything other then you're not homophobic. You may not fully understand the complexities of it all, but it doesn't frighten you.

You're comfortable enough within yourself to experience things outside your world.

Agreed Le Bello. I don't feel the need to partake in that as well. The prides, and parades etcetera are far too overwhelming.

I actually argued with my boyfriend about this. His argument was that people still get stabbed for being gay. I said people get stabbed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But "Wrong Place Wrong Time Pride Parade" doesn't have the same ring to it.

That and apparently all the in-fighting at recentish parades here in England. Apparently some people are "too gay for gay pride".

Where we all should be: Not using sexual orientation as a way of describing people.

This issue reminds me of racism. People keep trying to feed schoolbooks and TV shows with "equality" by actually labeling people, looking something like: "Hey kids, look at these guys. One is black and the other is white, and they get along!". They want future generations to stop labeling people by race, and they try to accomplish that BY LABELING PEOPLE BY RACE. It's retarded, it pisses me off.

I think we should all drop this bullshit and just act normally. Schools like Harvard and MIT claim that they keep their campuses "diverse". What this means is that out of three students with a 4.0 GPA, two of which have higher SAT scores that the third one, the one with the low scores may actually have more chances of getting in, because he is Black/Asian/Hispanic/Gay/etc (or even female), and they want to keep the campus "diverse" and "tolerant". This is actually a racist and unfair way of trying to solve racism and injustice. The fact alone that schools and employers ask for race (or "ethnicity" as they like call it), sex, sexual orientation and other nonsense labels is the problem: THESE THINGS SHOULDN'T MATTER AT ALL!

EDIT: I agree with Le_Bello. Pride parades and such are retarded, even insulting to an extent. If people gave the slightest shit about your sexual orientation, then just let them ask. You don't see straight people making "Straight Awareness" events. In fact, that's part of the problem: People associate gays with this kind of things. I once went to a "Straight-Gay Alliance" meting, and the people in there kept harassing me and trying to label me, and jumped around like little girls making odd noises and drawing rainbows. It was definitely not a pleasant experience, but I've learned not to judge gays by those retards.
 
Yeah thats fair enough.

Ive always been kinda a goof when it comes to gay stuff. I like to test out new employees at times. Thier first or second day here, I will tell them "hey man....thursdays are gay thursdays round here. You dont like it, fuckin beat it". The reaction I get is always priceless.

Round the shop here I work with a bunch of really cool guys. So the joke round here is that "thursdays are gay day" we all pat each other asses and we can all laugh about it. Well all but 1 of us.

And Ive always really been like that. Gay people never bothered me. Cept for this one guy who saw me as a challenge and just would not leave me alone. It got old really fast. But he was all serious about it.

Anyway, Im sorry to clog up this thread with my straightness....LOL. Just curious bout stuffs and things.

I just normally stay away from the community because I don't feel the need to parade my sexuality. I'm just an 18 year boy who works at Hollister lol and I want it to stay like that.

That's the problem that some straight people have. They say they can "tolerate" gays just as long as they don't flaunt their sexuality.

Psh, straightness, gayness, it's all the same. On the next Gay Thursday, make sure to make the point that male gay sex is the manliest sex.

This is precisely my point - Sexuality is just an aspect of people. Do we have "I SLEEP NAKED" parades or "I PREFER VANILLA ICE CREAM" parades? No. (Though we should.)

Flaunting your sexuality is only going to annoy people. By that opinion, gay pride parades are anti-gay.
