Little bit of gay ... ??

[psyphi]

Hi guys. Was browsing the site and came across a couple of interesting topics - specifically saying that 'all men/women have a little bit of gayness in them' Can I have the men on this site's insights into this please. What do you think - true or no ??

Psychiatrists do, of course, claim that all men and women have an element of duality about them with regard to their sexuality. Men nowadays are constantly being advised to "look for our feminine side", after all. All I can tell you though is that, in a long lifetime, I have never felt even the slightest tinge of a thought that I might care to act/react sexually with another male. Simple as that. So, other than the psychiatric claim - nobody can answer for the uttermost depths of his/her psyche, since the subconscious is just that - no, it's not true.

I think possibly the use of the phrase 'a bit of gayness in them' sends people off down the wrong mental image path. As I man, I am able to see the sexual attraction of other men to women, but I do not feel that sexual attraction myself. Maybe it is the increasingly acknolwledged ability to recognise this facet of attraction, and to acknowledge it, that leads to this confusion. I often say that this man, or that man, is attractive, but I never feel the need to preface that observation with "I'm not gay or anything but ..." because i tyake that as a given. That said, I acknowledge that I am more than averagely sure of myself, and not at all bothered by what people think. However, i do think that people are mor comfortable discussing sexuality in general terms, and that can only be a good thing for everyone.

A little bit of gayness. Well I class myself as half & half as I am not straight and I am not gay. But I don't use the word bi-sexual because it seems like the fashionable thing to be these days and my preference has been this way since I was about 7 years of age.

no chance there is no gayness in me at all. the very thought makes me feel ill. I have never heard anything so stupid as to say everyone has a bit of gayness in them !!
