But I had a question in regards to the same-sex Mars/Venus synastry aspects.

For example, a friend of mines who is the same sex has his Mars conj my Venus EXACT, and my Venus and Mars both fall into his 5th house. Does this means he likes my sex appeal or how I dress or something, or does it still mean attraction even if the person isn't homosexual?

From time to time, even if you aren't homosexual, you are able to point out when a person of the same-sex is good looking to you... However, we as guys will not make that known obviously.

What do you guys think about this one?

A friend of mine has his Gemini Venus exactly on my Gemini Mars and he at times has stated when i dress really well, "Bro, no homo, but you look really good right now!"

My best friend's Mars is opposite my Venus, and my Mars is quincunx her Venus - I find her taste in music, mannerisms to somehow be forced, fake, etc. I don't get them at all. We always try to predict what the other likes and constantly fail, even after 9 years of being inseparable!

Nothing sexual there, period.

Ceri are you there? Tell 'em how much I love all your stories and jump up and down raving with compliments when you post pictures of yourself.

I think a problem is our idea that these are always sexual. They are so much more than that.

I suppose the question could also be phrased as "how do the so-called "sexual aspects" between two self-identified heterosexual guys express itself?"

The reason I single out guys is because women tend to be "easy" with these aspects IME. The affection is expressed with less reprimand and social awkwardness

For guys, it plays out in two ways.

On the one hand,it could express itself in a hostile manner.

Due to the gender assigned roles you both play,the attraction could be interpreted as "threatening" your perceived self image and immediately attacked/downplayed i.e avoiding each other,being mean to each other or specifically ignoring each other.

Psychologically the suppressive message could be "I am not supposed to like a guy like that.That's creepy!"

On the other hand,the attraction could be freely expressed in what is known as so-called "bromance".

This is the case where you two do a lot of "couple" norms ;go eat together,play a lot with each other,hug frequently,complement each other,fix each others hair etc.

If the attraction is intense,you two may get confused by how other people respond to you both with comments like "You two are gay. You just don't know it yet." or "You two spend so much time together. Why don't you date already?"etc.

I have a Moon-Pluto square,Mercury-Pluto trine, Venus Mars trine aspect with a straight friend of mine. I am gay one.

Now I don't know if the above qualify as "sexual aspects", but I have mad love for the boy.He is good people.And we express a lot affection for each other.

I realized just how close we are when his live-in girlfriend will on many occasions open the door and announce to him "your boyfriends here", when she sees me.

But do I have latent homo feelings for him? I don't think so.I get naked around him and do very obnoxious and silly things.Things I would not even think of doing in the presence of my existing boyfriend.
