Believe it or not, this is actually a hot topic among linguists. It’s called GA (short for “gay accent”) and has been found in nearly all cultures and is readily recognizable as GA even when the language spoken is in a culture relatively unaffected by western mannerisms. So, if you went to a foreign country and heard GA in a language you have no familiarity with and/or is not linguistically related to your language, you would still be able to pick up the fact that he is speaking with a GA. Fascinating…
So it’s kind of like the Alignment Languages or Thieves’ Cant in the 1st Edition D&D game… :D:D:D
I’m a dork. 
Could you please supply some online citations for this interesting information.
Hi, I’ve wondered about a few things:
a) What’s the appeal of anal sex, that is, being on the bottom? Being on the top, I can understand, but is there an emotional and/or physical pay-off being on the bottom?
b) from your viewpoint as a gay guy…If i wanted to have full-on sex with a she-male (someone who looked and acted female in all respects except for the unit between her legs), would that make me gay? Even I were repulsed by the idea of sex with a guy (that is, with no illusion of feminity) or were sexually attracted to women? Bi-sexual?
c) Regarding prison rape, do you think that the rapists are actually closet homosexuals or just on a power trip?
d) Gay guys like to wear tight short shorts…stereotype on my part?
thanks
Simple. There are the emotional components (trust, intimacy, etc.) but there’s also prostate stimulation. The prostate gland is very sensitive and filled with nerves, so much that it’s called the male g-spot. It can only be stimulated from behind, though.
That’s more of a personal conclusion, but I would say “straight”. You’re sleeping with the lady because she looks and acts like one, not because she also has a penis.
Could be anything. It depends on their behavior outside, but most rape is all for power anyway. There is also something known as “circumstantial homosexuality”, which is when straight people sleep with each other because they have no access to the opposite sex.
Stereotype mostly. There are some gay men who like to wear tight shorts, but there are also plenty of us who think they look ridiculous and chafe like hell.
I tend to like girls who are tomboys, but chest hair on a woman would be a bit of a hurdle for me. I don’t mind hairy legs or armpits, though. Actually, I dig on femme guys a good amount, too, although my boyfriend is anything but. Hyper-femme women are a turn off, though.
Generally, I’d say it’s the explosive orgasm.
No, you’re almost certainly straight. You’re attracted to the transexual (FYI, a lot of them take exception to the term “she-male.”) because she looks like a woman. If you were gay, you’d be attracted to people who looked like men.
For the actual rapist, it’s always about the power trip. For non-coercive gay prison sex, it’s the aforementioned “situational gay sex.” Most men involved in sexual relationships with other men in prison immediately revert to heterosexuality when release, and display no interest in other men while on the outside.
Sorry, I’m totally unqualified to answer fashion questions.
Can a man with an obviously effeminate speaking style be straight?
I do like expensive clothes, but I *never * pay retail 
I have about 30 dress shirts, but that’s what I wear to work.
And no, I don’t subscribe to GQ. I guess I don’t need them for my own sense of style (shrug).
My father was friends with a man who lived down the street - he had known him since they were kids.
He sounded for all the world like a “screaming queen”, but he was completely hetero.
I used to know a guy like that. Remember Christopher Lowell? He was a dead ringer for that guy. Looks, speech, mannerism, whole nine yards. Not only was he married, with children, but he had multiple mistresses.
I know there are men who sound gay but are supposedly straight, but sometimes I have to wonder if they’re more gay than they admit to themselves.
…which leads to…
can your gaydar pick up gays who repress their nature?
Do a little research on the body part called the prostate. Then get back with us. 
That depends on if you’re talking about a transexual who just hasn’t had surgery or a drag queen. If the former, then no you aren’t gay. if it’s simply someone who is in drag, then yes.
Same as with any rape, it’s about power.
Yes, it’s a sterotype on your part. Unless of course you’re refering to runners and cyclists, but then that has nothing to do with them being gay.
can I just point out…You don’t need a prostate to enjoy.
Yep. Actually, most gay guys I know that came out later in life had at least one gay person tell them that they knew before the person came out.
True, but then of course a lot of us, like myself, have one and don’t enjoy it. It’s one of those things I would be happy if I could like it…but ah well.
Or 99.9% of his straight friends in one case I know.
The good ones are always taken.
I almost wanted to reply, So does this mean we need an “ask the person without a prostate” thread…but decided against it.
You’ve got low standards for “good ones”. 
And you bet your ass the pun(s) are intended.
The question “does this make me gay” is always sticky. For one thing, it assumes a single incident of sex with a person of the same gender (however defined) means that one is gay, which I think is questionable - if I had sex with a woman, would that make me straight?
It’s been put to me that if I had (and presumably enjoyed) sex with a woman, I’d be bisexual - or that “everyone is partly bisexual” - but IMHO that stretches labels out to the point of worthlessness. I seem to recall statistics that said that something like 60% of self-identifying gay men and 90% of self-identifying lesbians had had straight sex at some point.
But they refer to themselves as gay men or lesbians - why? presumably because they are interested in people of the same gender to the point that they don’t care to let opposite-gender people know they have a chance.
This is part of the reason why best practice is to accept people’s labels for themselves. Presumably they have a reason for identifying as they do; it’s not up to me to inform you as to your sexual orientation.
I would therefore argue that if you were to have sex with a trans person at any point on the transition plane, and you felt honest in continuing to identify as straight, that would be your prerogative.
