Hey.
I sometimes look at a guy and go, "That guy's hot." That's as far as it goes, though-- thinking about kissing a dude, much less doing more than that, disgusts me.
I'm straight, but is it normal to recognize male attractiveness despite not wanting to do anything sexually with one?

Appreciation =/= Attraction. Kinda like how you can appreciate a nice looking car but not have any urge to... well...
No, as long as it's not romantic or sexual it's not gay. I'm a girl and sometimes I also look at a girl and think "wow she's so pretty". I would never do anything intimate with a woman tho, it's more of a "I wish I looked like that".
Gay = same sex attracted
Straight = opposite sex attracted
Bi = both sex attracted
Latent homosexual = attracted to same sex but in denial ie looks at guys and thinks “they’re hot” but then tries to convince oneself that it’s not sexual and is so insecure about it that they go online and ask people if it’s gay
Yeah totes. Didnt you know that to a straight man all other men look like shapeless lumps? There is no way of telling who is attractive and not. If you can then you are gay. Time to come out the closet man.
I’m bisexual, but I think think you can appreciate male beauty if you’re str8.
As far as I'm concerned, the defining quality of being gay is looking at someone of your own sex and wanting to have sex with them.
FWIW, I'm a straight guy, and I've always found it very difficult to judge what sort of men women and gay guys find hot. I just did a Google for hottest men and had a look at a random ranking website. I'm able to recognise that some of the guys on the list - Chris Hemsworth, Zac Efron and Ryan Reynolds, for example - conform to my general idea of what a handsome guy looks like. But I'm bewildered by the presence of other guys on the list - Harry Styles, Tom Holland and Johnny Depp, for example.
I am straight but every now and then I want to suck a cock but have not yet. I suppose that makes me bi-sexual but if I haven’t actually sucked a cock am I considered bi-sexual?
I went from that to wanting more.
I really do think it's possible to train your sexual tastes. Maybe kissing a guy seems disgusting to you now. It might not always, if you were to let your mind wander places it hasn't been before.
Things like BDSM (for example) seem disgusting to a lot of people before they get into them.Disgust and arousal aren't such odd bedfellows. I read a study or an article with a title that went something like that, once.
We can be aroused by what feels transgressive or novel, or not our 'normal', and we can get to like it - and even depend on it - by associating that thing with a dopamine reward and making it a habit.
Nope that's normal as a woman I do that too. It's just acknowledging that someone looks good it's not attraction
"You know, just admitting that another man is attractive doesn't necessarily make you a homosexual."
-Elaine Benes, Seinfeld
You are straight. Just because you can judge an attractiveness scale doesnt mean you are attracted to them.
That's how most people can tell where they line up on the attractiveness scale. A 2/10 will know that they are in the low tier of attractiveness. Same if he was a 9/10... unless they are willfully denying/lying about it. There are a plenty of 1-3/10 women that belive they are 6s.
