> [@Gwyen](#): > > For some reason I can wrap my head around this better than a gay man who doesn’t like anal sex. > > What do you, well do to please each other, if you don’t mind me asking. Do you have no imagination? Oral sex (lots of it!), mutual or single masturbation, rimming (eating out the arse - not something I’m into but lots of people are), body contact, kissing. Are you of the persuasion that thinks unless slot A went into tab B (or C, in this case) then no sex occurred? As **Malienation** says, cock worship (looking at it, playing with it, sucking it) is great, the end point isn’t always getting on it. ---

Of course I have imagination! I have just never seen a two-cock situation!😃 I am glad I asked too because now I have a little insight into the lives of gay men. There is no such thing as too much Knowledge right? Cock worship is interesting, I looked it up after reading that post, I wonder what my so would think of that?? ---

Guess I need to choose my subject matter more carefully in the future. I think some of y’all just told me more than I wanted to know! 😃 Quasi ---

> [@panache45](#): > > I do not listen to gay music (except for gay choruses, one of which I’m a member (low bass)). Now that you mention it, what is “gay music” anyway, unless you mean music performed or created by gay people (like your choir). Re the OP, I am thin and neat, and was also single for a long time, which according to a Jerry Seinfeld joke, pings quite strongly on the gaydar detector. I’m not gay, but probably do display affects that might be construed itself. Yet, I’ve almost had people assume I’m gay, and except for one possible time, I’ve never been hit on by a guy, which I understand happens to a lot of straight guys now and then. I do get more of a sense, these days, that anything different in a guy is apt to be equated with homosexuality these days, perhaps because straight men are expected to conform to certain behaviors and tastes, and see a lot of this in reference to actors and other personalities well known to all. For instance, everyone seems to think Johnny Depp is gay, or effeminate, but I would prefer not to assume that in the absence of better evidence than wearing a silly mustache and hat. Or John Lithgow, for another example. Granted, a flamboyant transvestite was his first major role, but that was 25 years ago. I don’t know much about his personal life, but unless he’s showing up at celebrity events with a husband or boyfriend, or sharing a house with 10 guys, none of whom have heterosexual relationships or interests, than what right do we have to assume anything about his sex life?
