I have never slept with a "gay" guy.
40% Normal

Ok so I'm 19, male, good looking. But I've never had a real relationship with another guy. I'm not a virgin though, somehow I've fallen into this habit of sleeping with straight guys. I know what your thinking, how can they be straight if they're sleeping with a boy? Well I don't know. I've slept with the same type of guys all the time, they have girlfriends, act straight, and say they are not gay.

So is this normal? Sleeping and having relations with what is basically a straight guy? I've never found a gay that actually makes me feel the way straight guys do.

Anybody else have the same problem?
Do you think it's normal?

Have you any idea why it's straight guys that attract you? If it's just 'cos they're 'straight' it might be something you need to work on, as it might be that you're subconciously seekin out people who are emotionally unavailable to avoid having to deal with all the shit that comes with a real relationship (sorry if it sounds like I'm psycho-analyzing you XD). If it's cos they're more stereotypically masculine then you just need toi find a gay guy like that (they are there btw).
Maybe it's just cos you're used to that kind of relationship with someone, and aren't really used to the idea of it being any other way. All you can really do is find a gay guy you kinda like and work on building a relationship with him, and hopefully the more intense feelings should come with time.
(btw, all that was geared towards the idea that you want to start a proper, open relationship with someone. If you're happy sleepin around, continue as you are, I just think it could be damaging long term to stay with someone who identifies as straight)
Sorry if all that was a little long XD
Yea what you said makes sense. I think part of me doesn't really want a relationship with the baggage and the problems but I hate living from hook-up to hook-up. I also think it's a little bit of the other thing. I don't like super fem guys, not to say that I'm this macho guy, but I'm not super sissy. I actually have this second problem that goes along with my post. I've recently moved in with some people and one of them is a straight virgin boy. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I get the feeling that we both want each other, he'll flirt a little, I'll flirt back. But then nothing happens. He says he'd never do anything with me though. But I still feel like he's curious. I also have to consider the fact that he's virgin, I don't really want to mess with that if he's really really straight. I don't want his memory of his first kiss to be with a guy. What should I do?
Sorry but a straight man will not sleep with another man these guys are obviously curious or Bi or both if theyve had sex with you they are not straight
OMG, I have the same exact problem, but can there be that many straight guys out there that want to sleep with gay guys...puhleez!! I have been in a relationship with 2 guys before, long term too, they are out there. Ya might want to not date guys with girlfriends, and try a different type of guy, go to a gay club or pride event sometime. Enuf with the breeders lol.
Well, I think for now you've just got to respect what he says. It's possible he is curious, but might resent you a little if he felt you pushed him into something. If he brings it up to you someday though you shouldn't feel bad about it if anything does happen, just don't initiate anything or you could mess up a good friendship. Also, try not to read too much into flirting, many people just flirt for the craic, I still flirt with girls even though I'm no longer really attracted to them, and am in a relationship XD
your not sleeping with strait guys your sleeping with closeted gays perhaps you dont want word going around that your into guys i dont know how that works with your kind though so i may be wrong

His kind? You're not a completly different species than him. Or are you not human? And by the way there are some straight men out there that enjoy the ocassional attention from another man.
its normal i think cause im a strait guy but every once in a while i fantasize about havin sex with another guy but only if hes strait.
Hey, your normal you just have a thing for more macho guys. It's more of a thrill to land a "straight guy" than a gay guy. I had a think going with friends husband for years. He was straight more or less but while in his relationship with his wife he was very dominant with me he got to explore his submissive side. Fact is he was a great lay and could remove the crome from a trailer hitch!
I have almost the same exact situation. I recently (beginning of January) moved in a new apartment with a couple other guys for college. One of them seemed to me to be gay, but he says he's not, and I've respected that. I consider myself to be bisexual, because I have really liked (maybe loved) both men and women. We are both 19 and very similar in too many ways (weight, height, interests, history, personality (shyness) politics, philosophy, etc.). Going into February, we were already very good friends, and we would be hanging out with each other all day. We would wrestle in our beds (we have separate rooms) and sometimes I would just lay on top of him or vice versa and we would just look into each others eyes. I wanted to see if there is any sort of sign that he wants to do anything with me, as in taking our friendship to the next level, but at the same time, if he says he's straight, I will forever respect that, even if I am crazy about him. Soon thereafter, we began sleeping in each others beds. To clarify, I mean that we would be in the same bed and we would fall asleep and wake up together. Here and there we would hold hands, or simply stare into each others eyes for what I think is a romantically long time (but I may just be blinded by love). Now, lately, we've been very touchy while in bed.
First of all, I am so confused! I don't think it's normal for two guys to sleep together and be as touchy-feely as we are without some sort of romantic feelings behind it. I don't understand what he wants, and whether he really is straight or not (but regardless, I respect that he says he's straight and haven't forced him to do anything). I want to kiss him, but I'm not absolutely sure whether he wants to or not (not too many straight guys I know want to kiss bisexual guys).
Second, I'm sure he feels confused too, even if he doesn't show it. I mean, he says he is straight, but he always comes to me, wants to be with me, looks me in the eyes like I'm the most handsome person in the world, and holds my hands while we sleep.

Lepetiprince: I'm glad I found your post here, and I'm glad you shared this with others. It's nice to know that there is someone else with a situation nearly identical to mine (age, moving in, sleeping together, etc).
Oh, and I forgot to mention: it would also be his first kiss (he is a virgin in a lot of ways, but I'm a bit more experienced than he is). Also, I've never had a gay relationship before. I have always dated women and still flirt with some of them, but I've started flirting with some guys, too.
Q. How do you tell if a guy is gay?
A. His dick tastes like shit.
Ok, so dude I think your deal is that you like guys, but you don't want to be with a guy that wants to cuddle or all that sh!t, just to have fun with and then hang out like ur just two friends? Am I right?
Ive had this same problem since I was like 13. Every guy that ive ever had a crush on, and even fell in love with one, were all straight. Most of the time I could get them to "mess around" though, but it made things even worse because there was never any chance for a relationship.
I think that's one thing that would really suck about being gay, finding people seems like it would be harder. Keep looking. He's out there somewhere.
He probably likes you and is having trouble dealing with his feelings as a generally straight guy. Straight guys don't do this with people they don't like, even girls.
@: Bazaza
Bazaza's an ass.
Haha, I know what you're saying.
straight guys can be hot.
I guess this would be considered being on the down low. Maybe u arent but if the guys have girlfriends they defenitly are. I know that this goes on alot in the black community and is a primary cause for the spread of hiv and aids especially if condoms are not being used. Are you attracted to women?
I think you secretly want to be a woman so you can be with straight guys
These guys can't be "straight" and be having homosexual encounters/relations. The door swings both ways - they are bi - not straight.
There is no such thing as a straight guy who sleeps with other guys. Not now, not ever. You can get rid of that fantasy concept now. Only "GAY" guys sleep with guys.

The dude is as gay as the day is long, regardless of how he wants to frame it.
You might swing both ways ?
It may be that you are attracted to straight guys because you feel effeminate. What would be normal for a nice young lady than to be attracted to nice young men. Be careful though. If these young men are not admittedly gay they are probably hedonistic. Thinking of their pleasure and not your feelings.
O.o u gotta post how it turned out or ima wonder for the rest of my life T.T
ima sucker for stories like these XD
@: zombiefish

Well, it didn't turn out very well. Sorry to burst your bubble =(.
He was a very lonely guy. He hadn't had a real friend since middle school, and hadn't learned how to socialize, let alone be considerate with his roommates. I spent a lot of my time with him, playing around, going out at night together, joining a rec class together, etc. But I also spent a lot of time trying to show him how to be more considerate: washing his own dishes (sink would overflow with his dishes), cleaning up after himself (dirty stove, dining table, etc), and even reciprocating the things I do for him. For the entire spring break he went home, and though I tried to contact him on several occasions, he never did. Things like that didn't make sense to me. I understand that maybe he doesn't know how to be a friend, but come on.. Eventually we started arguing, and unfortunately for me, he is emotionless (on purpose). He's learned how not to feel, in order to not feel pain. I wouldn't talk with him, hoping he would come to me and try to work things over, but after a week I would be the one to try to talk tings over. This happened practically twice a month. Finally, in the middle of May we had our last argument. Weeks passed and nothing. Then in June I gave up. I went into his room, where he had been glued to starcraft ever since, and talked to him.
I finally got through to him. He understood what it meant when I said that I wanted to be his friend, that I trusted him, and that I only wanted to best for us. The day before he returned home for the summer was our best day ever. We scheduled a whole day of bonding, waking up at 7am for oatmeal and coffee, and ending with a workout at 3am in the morning, then sleeping together on our couch in the living room, just talking ourselves to sleep. I thought from then on our friendship would be amazing.
Over the summer he only wanted to communicate via email. It was nice for the first few weeks, because he would fill me in on his life and I would too. We would ask each other questions, etc., but he would barely respond every week or so. I was against the idea of only communicating via email, mostly because you can't always understand what underlying intentions may be. In July things got heated, mostly because he thought I was being defensive, and I replied that there is no way to tell the difference between being defensive and simply explaining oneself, as well as how there is no way to prove that I'm not being defensive because it only shows I am.
Eventually I was tired. After all the crap I went through to try to make this work. I told him that I'm waiting for us to get back together to hang out, to have fun again and really interact. He said that this isn't working out, and the only way we could be friends is if we are extremely casual. I told him that doesn't make any logical sense to me. That you can't just let it die like that, but at that moment I just couldn't care anymore.. but I did. I let it go, but I was heartbroken. I cried. The only way I could be happy again was to not think about it. I made myself not care. But I think that he gave up. He wanted to start his life again, from scratch.
We haven't spoken since. I'm hoping never to run into him, never to reopen these damn emotional wounds. But a part of me, the human part, wants us to be the best of friends again.

The only thing that's come from this is inspiration for all these poems I've been writing. Haha.
omg thats sooo sad =(

i want it to work out for u so much >.<

ima come find him nd kick some sense into him -.-

i guess hes just scared...i am to i always run away when people try to get close. ended soo many friendships with people bcoz they get to know too much about me ahah i fail at life -.-

dammit tho grr u guys woulda been cute together nd youd make a great bf.

i hope u find sum1 that appreciates u =(
Yea, that's what my friends say, too. We ended what would have been great, and it was hard to let go.

Thank you zombiefish, for your kind words, though =).
i had crush on guys too but i don't konw if they are gay o not then i won't talk to them again is it normal? =( ?
either your a gay guy that wants to come out about being straight or there straight guys that needs to come out aboue being bisexual, or your a straight guy that needs to come out about being bisexual or your a bisexual that needs to come out about being metrosexual
You like secretly bi guys, not completely gay but a little gay. Gay men can sometimes be too weird so you like to be with a guy who still acts normal as opposed to flamboyant. Are you a top or bottom though?
straight guy?!?! those are just fags in closet. the only reason you like them is cos u r the same.
i mean,as friends so many guys sleep together....

its just those feelings one gets after watching brokeback mountain *ing heath ledger...god he was such a gr8 actor
;-)
The guys you sleep with ARE gay otherwise they wouldn't let you pillage their backdoor. Well, actually they are bi but leans more towards women and just like sex with men, not relationships.

Try being more selective about who you sleep with. If you held out for a real relationship instead of a one nightstand you would find guys that were fully gay.

Be careful, being promiscious is not so fun when you get AIDS or anal warts.
I think you like the challenge of going after a straight guy. Sounds like the ultimate ego boost.
