Because of the lingering ( but thankfully declining) social stigma associated with homosexuality, I
wouldn't be surprised if gay people didn't feel too comfortable with talking about it in public. In
saying that, the only gay guy I know is a very confident person and doesn't mind talking about it at
all. Although it must be said when the Daffyd Thomas sketch came on when he was here, I had to leave
the room. |

This is half true. I definitely buy into the concept that homosexuals have to be more careful about
what they share about their relationships because the prejudice of others makes it difficult to be
open about it.
The other half - the half why I'd say not true: Homosexuals went through an introspection and
awakening in coming to terms with their sexual preference whereas heterosexuals don't really have to
do that - they can stay safely maintream their entire lives and never really know themselves as
fully. So although a straight person might be able to talk openly about some parts of their sex
life, that talking does not actually mean they fully explored what sex means to them. |

Interesting topic. Come to think of it most relationship conversations do seem to be homogenous.
Straigh people talk to straight people about their straight relationships and gay people to gay
people. But people don't generally just up and talk about the chick they happen to be going out
with or the guy they hope will fall in love with them. They talk about their husbands and wives and
their sons and daughters. Gay couples aren't given this line of conversation to gab about. |

I will take the inenviable position of "Devil's Advocate" here, because no one else will want to,
probably, in THIS debate today. ;-)
In said position:
Gay people flaunt their experiences sexually more than other person's because they secretly feel
they are acting-out an "exotic/forbidden/naughty" outlet of sexuality.....from what is considered to
be acceptable and mainstream and "Normal':
Gay people do not want to be normal: They want to be naughty and do forbidden nasty-sexy things (in
their psychology, so to speak, terms....;-)
Gay people, are the sexual equivalent of the street-people Emoz and Goths: Very Avant-Garde:
Rebellion from the status-quo.
They want to be pushers of the proverbial envelope.....;-)
Whereas Emoz and Goths are a fashion-rebel, the Gay community are sexual-rebels........;-) same
concept, different venue....;-)
;-)
(p.s. I am not gay never have been never inclined that way. My own personal oriention has nothing to
do with the debate position of devil's advocacy; it is a point of view put forth, not experential,
but rather objective other-view.
This is my disclaimer......LOL ;-) |
