    You aren’t one of my sexual partners so your hang-ups don’t affect me. To be clear, aversion to “gay” shit is a spectrum so there even more prudish folks out there who would go ahead and consider you gay for allowing the slightest bit of anal penetration.

    Why label anybody at all? If you are drawn to the same gender for sex then so be it. You should be comfortable with your sexuality being that way. If you are drawn to the opposite gender then be comfortable with that. If you have desires to enjoy sex with either gender be my guest. It's you that has to be comfortable with your own sexuality. There is no need to label anyone as straight, gay, bisexual, etc. We are all different in our own right and should be allowed to be as such. No labels. Does anybody really care that as a man I only have desires to have sex with women? Probably not.

    I’m sure there are plenty of legitimate 100% straight men. I’m just not sure I’ve met any of them.

    Most straight guys always seem to be a lot more “handsy” with me than you would expect. I get a surprisingly lot of overly long hands on back, and butt grabs. Maybe I have an irresistible butt. lol

    This really goes for both sexes as far as being 100% straight. Trust me I know.....:(

    I'm a huge supporter of the LGBTQ community and have absolutely zero desire for any sort of same sex activity. None whatsoever. Never have even during extended dry spells.

    If there are no women to enjoy, my hands do it, not men. The straight label is still very applicable for many men

    Um, no, we shouldn’t and won’t. I’m straight. 100%. And I’m not saying that in some sort of macho way. I’m saying it because it’s true. Honestly, it’s bizarre to me that anyone would question the reality of someone being legitimately straight. Oh, and I call BS on whatever source you’re quoting saying that 50% of guys have “hooked up” with another guy. There’s NO WAY the number is that high.

    While labels are limiting, labels are shorthand, too. Useful. We bicker in veg about it annually.

    Also, ditching a label is also ditching what some consider their identity.
    Many gay guys have been with women. Does that negate their lived experience as gay men?

    He can be grossed out by something without having hatred in his heart for those who aren’t. He can think certain sexual acts are disgusting without holding it against those who feel differently. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t... I don’t know him... but yes, it’s absolutely possible that he can be grossed out by the thought of gay sex but NOT be homophobic or otherwise hateful.

    I couldn't agree more. I wouldn't have sex with another man. Along with that I don't think it is disgusting that men have sex with other men be it romantically or lustfully. I just wouldn't do it myself. Homophobic is defined as having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against gay people. Anything just made the statement that to him gay sex is disgusting. He didn't say he disliked gay people. He doesn't like that they have sex with each other therefore he doesn't want to be around them.

    I think any label comes with whom you have had sex with (or would have given the opportunity), not inner thoughts. So as a man only ever having had sex with a woman, it makes me straight.

    Unless you've had a curiosity of what it might be like playing with a cock. Then you might be Bi-curious. But who really gives a shit? Do whatever trips your trigger and enjoy regardless of what anybody else may think or label you as being.

    Maybe we need to add to the label list. Along with Straight, we could use 'Curved' to cover some predilections (since we really need labels, it seems)

    If it feels good do it... explore and enjoy your body. The right dick/plug/dildo hitting that spot is pure bliss.
