Straight male here. Not revolted, but not particularly interested by gay sex. Even girl on girl sex doesn’t do a whole hell of a lot for me - the whole “watching the semi-dirty movies on Cinemax” thing usually has me yawning halfway through the housewife doing the maid scene. I’ve been in a couple FMF threesomes in my time, and without a doubt, the thrill there - for me anyway - is not the girl/girl moments, but the combination of too many breasts (who said that? that’s like saying too much beer…I’m not sure that’s possible really), and the fact that at the moment, TWO women are there with me, when a lot of the time, finding one can be a lot of heartache.
I have no issues with homosexual relationships; as the bumper sticker says, I consider myself “straight but not narrow.”
The thought of performing sexual acts with a man, though, is just unappealing to me. I’m not enamored with the idea of anal sex; there’s the “residue” left on your penis if you’re on top (I’d feel the same way, even if the partner was a woman), and what has to be a very uncomfortable “pooping in reverse, and forward, and reverse” feeling if you’re the bottom. To me, the joy in taking a healthy dump comes from the relief afterwards, not from the act itself.
The way I’m wired, I just don’t see men as attractice in a sexual way. Sure, I can look at a guy and determine if he is attractive by society’s standards, but to my brain, things aren’t right; the curves are in the wrong places, there’s hair in places where it shouldn’t be, and in my eyes external genitalia is just plain ugly. When you look at an unfixed male dog, most might think it’s cute in all other respects, but they’re not going to say “that’s a nice looking set of balls on that Neapolitan Mastiff!” Same thing with human males.
::Shrugs:: I lived in an all-girls’ dorm for four years. I figure if I didn’t feel any attraction to any of my dormmates who wandered about scantily clad (if there’s little chance of strange guys being around, modesty is definitely relaxed) on their way to and from the shower most mornings and nights, I’m probably never going to find women sexually desirable.
I wouldn’t really say the idea is “eeww” but it’s not something I ever really have tried to picture. It’s kind of like being an accountant, I’ve never spent much time thinking about doing books either.
Straight man. Leaving aside the fact that homosexuality is religiously forbidden, I can’t say I’m revolted by the idea of male-male sex. I just think of my fellow males as…ugly. I like the softness, smoothness, curviness of women, and can’t imagine wanting to get intimate with a hairy, lumpy-shaped guy. I guess that’s what makes me heterosexual, isn’t it.
I find the thought of sex between myself and another man distasteful. I’m just not attracted to men.
It’s not an original sentiment in this thread, it’s just another data point for you.
Straight man here, I’d put myself at about a 1 on the Kinsey Scale. When I was younger I used to wonder if I was bisexual because I found certain men attractive, but I never wanted to have sex with any of them - I just enjoyed looking at them, and I had a few male friends I probably liked more just because they were good looking. I’ve realized I’m not, though…for one thing, thought experiments have shown me that imagining being intimate with a male at best leaves me cold, at worst grosses me out. And though I appreciate the male form, the two parts I find the least aesthetically appealing are the penis and the anus. Penises are just ugly to me, and I’ve never been interested in anal sex with women.
Of course, my admiration of the female form doesn’t always lead to sexual thoughts, either. When I see a picture of an attractive woman, no matter how suggestive the pose, I usually end up just admiring the way she looks, I don’t fantasize about having sex with her.
So, what kind of response do I have to the idea of gay sex?
Receiving oral sex from a man - does not gross me out at all, I might be able to enjoy it and if an attractive man wanted to pay me to let him give me head, I’d probably let him try for $100, though I might not be able to achieve erection and probably wouldn’t be able to get off unless I fantasized about it being a woman.
Giving oral sex to a man - pretty gross. If I had a choice between doing that or taking one of the ‘Eating gross stuff’ challenges from Fear Factor, I might go with giving a blowjob, if the guy was really clean. If some guy offered me $1000 to suck his dick, I might do it (esp. as money is really tight now). If he offered me $10,000, I know I’d do it, but I’d probably have serious problems as my gag reflex is set off very easily, I have to stop brushing my teeth several times during the process to avoid gagging.
Receiving anal sex - not appealing at all, for a few reasons. First, I used to suffer from hemorrhoids and had an anal fissure, with a change of diet it’s rarely a problem for me anymore, but I associate hard things passing through my anus with serious pain. Though I may be wrong, I don’t believe there’s enough lube in the world to make receiving anal from a modestly hung man anything but excruciating. Secondly, I really don’t like being penetrated in any way - I used to freak out when people would stick their fingers in my ear, I’ve reduced that to a shudder, but it still bugs me, as does having someone stick things in my mouth. Finally, the idea of being on the receiving end feels submissive in a way that really turns me off, maybe it’s an instinctual dominance thing. It would take some kind of extraordinary compensation for me to let someone fuck me in the ass - I might do it for a million, but I really don’t know.
Giving anal sex - not appealing, kinda gross. I don’t like the idea of getting fecal matter on my penis, even tiny quantities of it (and yes, I know I do anyway from fart mist, but at least it’s mine). I was convinced once by a girlfriend to give her anal, but when she changed her mind just as we started I felt relief. I honestly don’t think I’d be able to with a man even if I was somehow convinced to.
As to lesbian sex…I’m very appreciative of the female body and comfortable with all it’s functions (I had a girl start her period once while I was going down on her, and though I thought ‘Ew!’ when I realized, it didn’t make me want to throw up or anything), so I don’t really find anything lesbians do gross (with the exception of anal activities). I don’t really find it sexy, I never watch girl/girl scenes in porn, so I’m different from most men that way, but it doesn’t bother me.
