Straight men going gay

(Bombastic Side Eye) A Reddit user recently asked: "Straight men, what’s the most homosexual thing you’ve done?" and the answers were so relatable to the nonsense I heard in college I had to. We recently asked straight men of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about their experiences hooking up with other guys. Here's what they said: And as a heads up, some of these stories get kinda.

I’ve been sleeping with my straight roommate since going into lockdown. It’s not like we planned this or anything. I’ve been living with Mike for the past year, which pre-dates COVID But due to the rules involving social distancing and non-physical contact with others, things just kind of happened.

Your friend is right that people don't want straight guys to come and make a spectacle out of things (e.g. Make a scene, be openly homophobic, get super mad at a gay guy for hitting on them, etc.). Explore why straight men hooking up with gay men happens, from curiosity and personal history to society’s role, in this revealing feature.

So why is that? Research into the partner preferences of gay men suggests that, on average, they tend to be drawn to masculinity. For example, gay men tend to be attracted to masculine-looking faces and to other signs of masculinity, such as muscularity. Gay men also rate prospective partners who describe themselves as masculine more favorably than those who describe themselves as feminine.

This preference for masculinity is strongest among gay men who identify as masculine. The basic idea is that the people you feel most different from in childhood become the target of your later sexual attractions, with gender non-conformers tending toward same-sex attractions and gender conformers tending toward opposite-sex attractions.

The evidence for this, though, has been elusive.

Also, there are other possible explanations. Yet another possibility is that fantasizing about straight men may be a way that some gay men feel acceptance. Sexual fantasies involving straight men can represent a sort of acceptance by the very people who have been their aggressors for much of their life. These fantasies may give gay men the feeling that they are a part of their lives.
