I know I am going to need a disclaimer here because some people will have a bad reaction to it without even reading the real question. I am not opposed to gay people in the least. I am just curious about how the sexual attraction works.

Straight men like myself can look at slideshows of nothing but vulvas and vaginas all day long and never get bored even though there isn’t really much to look at. OTOH, everyone has an anus and it isn’t designed for sex in the first place.

I realize that many straight men engage in anal sex and some homosexual people do not. The difference is that straight people have multiple, evolutionary designed options that can accommodate a wide range of preferences. Homosexuals have fewer.

How does this work from a homosexual standpoint? Do you just work with what you have and make it work the best way possible or is it the ideal already?
