Can a guy experiment with his sexuality and not be gay? or bisexual? I met this guy recently and he told me one time in high school he messed around with a guy, it was a one time thing, and he never did it again, but I was sort of horrified about the whole thing...I HONESTLY wished he NEVER told me...anyways, He says hes straight, and it never went as far as sex, it was just um...how do i put it simply...touching? he said there was no kissing involved but he said this after I made shocked reaction....

I dont know....there is a double standard in society no doubt, but i cant believe a man is straight if he would EVER be with a guy in any sexual way...

anyways-
What do you guys think?

DEFINITELY!
Experimenting is just that!

What concerns me here is:
Quote:
I was sort of horrified about the whole thing...I HONESTLY wished he NEVER told me...

?????WHY should it horrify you??????You must have really shocked him with your reaction when he a Cancerian revealed a very personal thing to you! Not a good way to act towards a Cancerian! He felt he could trust you and you would understand.
Many folks in their pre teen and teen years experiment with the same sex. Ask virtually any psychiatrist....it is NORMAL!

Are you anti GLB etcetera?

Oh not at all, Im not anti gay/bisexual/etc...I just cant date someone who would do this ... I just sort of liked him and felt kind of weird about it...something about him telling it made him come off "unmanly" in a way....I still like him but just uncomfortable with ever getting involved at this point...

Hello And.

First of all, when a boy, especially a cancer boy has the balls to tell you that he's experimented with other boys, despite being straight. Don't be shocked or appauled, think of how hard it probably was for him to get to terms with it, and especially since he's a cancer (the "mother" of all signs), with a moon in scorpio of all things (not the best place for my fair luna).

Secondly, who cares?

Sexual expression isnt really all about living in the illusionary boundaries of gay/bi/straight etc.

Many a people who are "straight" experiment with people of the same gender. Not because of any latent tendencies, or some bullshitty freudian theory. There can be many a reasons, sheer curiosity being one of them. Or perhaps they havent explored other kinds of sexual lifestyles, like omnisexuality or pansexuality for that matter.

Now in your friends case, his rising being that of capricorn (the sign of cold blooded lust and pimping) and Mars and Venus both being in Gemini (the sign of kinky guilty pleasures), this adding on to his Moon being in Scorpio (the sign of sex, what else?), it's possible that perhaps he has a deeper level of sexual expression than most others around him. Perhaps it's more about the act itself, rather than the set of genitals possessed by his partner/F*ck buddy.

So to sum it all up, being straight isnt really the end all of all same gender encounters. Just because someone has a "tryst" with someone of the same gender, doesnt make that person gay or bi. It just shows that the person is comfortable with their masculinity/femininity and isnt ashamed of being themselves.

Ok, I do apologize for the rant, but come on, grow up already. Dont get fooled with all these illusions and labels of sexuality.

No...
He is not for you dear.
How old are you?
You sound like you need to look at why homosexuality or the thought of it is so revolting to you.
Your words are not at all gay accepting or friendly.

You guys are going to take it the way you want, thats fine. I do enjoy the responses minus the response im anti gay because I dont want a guy Im with to have ever been with another male. Anyways, I gained some sort of light on the subject, and its the guilt of it making me not like him in a romantic sense has been somewhat lifted.

Fayte- I think youre very wrong about me, but thats okay, I seriously feel like you've made me feel different about this subject(in a good way) though you sort of disturbed me with your assumptions, thanks for your response.

Im not going to post on this any further, but I go once again thank you for the responses thus far.

As a cancer, it amazes me that he had the balls to tell you. That means he really trusted you. Maybe you choose not to date him, but you should've alteasr acted like you understood him. He'll probably never come to you again with anything now.Not that I've ever experimented myself but I don't see why everyone is so quick to label someone with the scarlet letter.

**I see that me and this guy have similar placements. I have Cancer sun/Capricorn Rising/Gemini venus/Mars in the 3rd/Moon in the 8th

First of all And acted the way she acted just like he was being himself and opened up to her to tell her that, she was being herself with her response. People are different and different understanding and views about things. And you have the choice to decide if you want to be involved with a man that has been with another man or even interested in another man.

Personally I don't know how I would have acted BUT I do know that if a man tells me that he has been interested in another man in whatever way I would be instantly turned off. I love gay men and I am not anti-gay at all, but I do not want to mix myself romantically with any man that feels that way and I have that right to feel that way and so does AND..

Brothers on the Down Low is a scarey thing for us Black females and we have to protect our selves..That is what it is called by us..If you guys don;t know about it you should find out about it..

While I support everyone's right to freedom of their sexual expression I don't quite understand WHY he decided to share it with you. I mean, if it was such a little unimportant thing from the past why even bring it up? I might be completely wrong but... I have had my share of sexual experiments and I would bring it up in a conversation with someone who I consider as "relationship material" for two reasons

1. That is something that I would like to do again in the future
2. There is a possibility that the person will find out from someone else and I would rather give this info from the first source

As for "turn offs" it can be anything and the fact that you are not comfortable with possible bisexuality has nothing to do with gay or anti-gay general position. Personally, I can't stand "cheap" guys but I don't think it makes me a "golddigger"

Yeah and second of all, no one ever said she had to be with him or whatever. I just don't see the point of crucifying him on a public forum. That is so highschool.

The answer is simply yes!! Its a way of finding who you are ... or who you will be. Its the temptation to know what its like, just like trying drugs, drinking, swearing.

WHY did this thread become and attack on what AND feels? AND's opinions? Who cares!?!? :rollseyes: The question asked was ... Can a guy experiment with his sexuality? and not be gay? .... stick with it people.

Well, Im certainly glad all good sence was already spoken for me here.

Ive always prefered more simply put-

"Now, if I where too suckle a 1,000c@ck$, but knew for sure I wasnt one bit physicaly atracted too a single Mans face or body- would that not leave me completly strait ?"

Sorry humans, but the saying "su@ked a co@$ once, and yer a co@%sucker for life" is almost the most pompous expresion Ive heard too date.

Perhaps some girls/Ladys prefer the sort of all too common man that cringes and runs outa the room when a homosexual walks in - if not just so she can go to her freinds and have something too complain and bash him over and over for being so erogent, homophobic, and close minded ?-- After all that kinda fear is "masculin" rite !? you know, sorta like a redneck tarzan !

hehehahahhaa, humanity does grow more and more commical with the passing of every age me thinks .

ps- not trying too atack or become defensive. This just very much reminded me of episodes Ive gone over in my personal and intimate life already.

And the humour never dulls or stales too be my amusement.

As far as the questions answers, Ive always seen it as self explanatory... Sorta one of those you just answerd yer own question deals.

I think its not fair to grill this person when (I assume she) was just upset that this guy wasn't a completely straight Hetero, and maybe a slightly bruised ego is also to blame. You did say you liked him! In response to you saying, I could never date a man that has been with another guy, then bless you for you still have many years of maturing to go through. I know for fact that most men have done something with another guy in the past, and this makes them far form gay. Let’s not forget what age were living in now folks. And lets not forget all the crazy things that happen when we’ve all gone off to college (ENOUGH SAID)!! If I thought that solidly about everything I’ve done in my life I’d be a massive walking contradiction and probably would have gone mental by now. Stop thinking this world is black and white. Look out of your window, how many colours can you see?

Oh Magus, You crack me up.

Personally, I've always fancied men who are bi. It arouses me to see two men with each other. Perhaps that's one of the many reasons I saw Brokeback Mountain almost every week when it released. I have the dvd now..he he he

Anyway back to the subject. I dont understand why people think it's so "taboo" if two straight men experiment or "mess around"(for lack of a better term) with each other? I mean, men go all ga-ga over two women, or women telling about times they fantasized.

Oh well.. to each their own.

And honey, if you cant handle that he got some kock, then fine dont date him. But dont judge him and dont make him feel bad about it. He worked up a lot of guts to tell you, atleast give him that.

I'm not a man, but to help answer the "does having an experience with someone of the same sex make them gay" question.

No it doesn't make them gay.

Brokeback Mountain was excellent! But so sad the bigotry that made their relationship so tragic.
I own it also.
Torch Song Trilogy is another good one.
The Crying Game also.
Yes And has a right to date who she wants. But the fellow was very brave to tell her I feel, and being a Cancerian even more unusual. But I feel she was judging him and came just shy of calling him a pervert.
Sorry And, but if I were that fellow I would think twice before talking to a woman again so confidentially. I have known young men who made such confessions to a girl they trusted. They had never been with a girl yet. Well in the several cases I know of...most gave up on ever trusting a girl again. If they were not gay before, they are now. Gentle fellows can be hurt deeply by such a reaction from a girl. Maybe that was not your situation, but I still feel sad at your reaction to his honesty and to judge him now a lesser man.

Gee.... this thread sure made me feel like thinking twice before posting anything gay/straight related.

How did the simple "yes" or "no" question turned into chastising the person who is usually here for many of us with advice, helpful information, shoulder to cry on or FREE interpretation? AND certainly is very open minded in many different instances. There was no slightest hint of bias in the original question and if some people found themselves disturbed enough to write lenghty responces ( which have little to do with the question BTW ) may be they have a problem with the subject on some level.

Yes.


I feel they can. If women can do it, why can't men?


I'm not a fan of double standards and I feel if everyone can has a sexual nature as human beings, then it's their personal choice if they want to experiment or not.

The way I see it, why not get a "different" perspective once and a while? It may liven things up


Mars in Aqua talking here of course :-P

Suddenly he is deemed less a man and an untouchable because of his honesty about his same sex experimentation, which "horrified" And.
Sorry, but it was not a simple yes or no question because the story of the man involved was told and her reaction. If it were simply an unbiased yes or no question it would have been simply phrased such as:
If a guy experimented once with a guy does that mean he is not straight?

and another thing...


And,

Don't worry. This is the internet and people will interpret words however they please, and you can't do anything about it. However, I UNDERSTAND where your coming from and what you mean. Just because you'd prefer a man who didn't fool around with other men doesn't make you anti-gay or anti-anything. Once again, it's your personal preference. And I've been in your place with this before, so I relate to you

Society/Media has put such pressure on us to fit gender roles that it comes down to if a man isn't what's advertised as a "masculine", then he must be gay. Sometimes, you meet people who really dont give a sh*t and do their own thing...thats when you have to ask yourself, is he odd? Or is society and the media just dumb as hell by trying to fit everyone into little boxes when there are over 6 billion people to "label"?

Thank you for asking this question, because honestly, it's one of the few I haven't heard brought up over and over again on LL. It made me think, and I'm a thinker :-P


Back to your question... the Venus/Mars in Gemini stood out to me. I heard that placement can be key for sexual experimentation...

>>>That is EXACTLY one of the points I was attempting to make.
And it sounded to me, that it was exactly that attitude she had, even though she questioned, she had already said she felt it impossible, so why even bother asking if one's mind was already made up?

I did not write what "and" wrote.
So there are no semantics to be discussed that I see. Words such as the following can not be taken any other way except at face value.

I was sort of horrified about the whole thing...I HONESTLY wished he NEVER told me...

>>>>Seems like some pretty cut and dried opinions to me. Argue all you guys want.
Nothing I say will matter to anyone who is horrified by the gay or possibly gay issue.
Nor will my words have any bearing on one(s) who are already convinced that the fellow is gay or tainted goods. And even if he is gay...he is NOT LESS a man as implied!
Rant over.

PS.

But that is like comparing oranges to apples here. Two different issues. Her freely given good deeds, and this matter. The two have no bearing on each other.

BTW..were you shop22much and another name here besides and? Hard to know who is a newbie anymore.
