    The statistics of the thread obviously factoring in twins who've shared bunk beds in their childhood :pac:

    men who engage in sexual activity with other men are, by definition, not straight.

    Not necessarily. Men who are sexually attracted to other men are, by definition, not straight.

    The medical term men who have sex with men is used extensively because there are men who have sex with men who do not identify as gay or bisexual or homosexual.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, for the reasons I have already given. As for your last paragraph: yes, men do sometimes sleep with women they either thought they fancied or didn't really fancy much at all. But even in those cases there is something that stands out, like her womanly curves or some other feminine feature.
    Availability.

    I know a lad (straight?!) who swears by the "A mouths a mouth theory".

    I suppose it's up to the individual where the line is drawn.

    Who are you to tell a person that you know what their identity is? that they cannot possibly know their own identity and if they do they are in denial?

    Maybe read this to understand more

    That statistic doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

    Don't you know that it's only gay if the testicles touch?

    my take on it is, guys who crashed out after a session, partys, awaiting a bed somewhere.

    So what are you trying to say here, a man might have no attraction to other men but would have sex with them anyway?

    Or maybe I read your post wrong.

    "When testicles touch
    I think to myself
    Does it matter too much?
    That I am a boy
    And you are one too"

    My friend tells me that grindr is full of married men. I think some people on here don't want it to be true. Maybe they're looking for an experience, perhaps they are looking for something their wife won't do, maybe they are actually gay and scared of societal pressure. My inclination is to believe this survey.

    I know I mean - I mean MSM is a valid medically used term but I'm not sure why there is a continued denial of it in this thread

    Are you one of these "gay agenda" people that think that gays are taking over the world? This poll is part of the conspiracy?

    Speaking of agendas, you've yet to show a single shred of evidence for how you came up with this little nugget of misguided nonsense -

    Ehh, no, they won't actually, and yes, they do care. Just because a survey says 25% of men in their 20s have had same sex encounters, that doesn't mean we should allow gay and lesbian people to lose the run of themselves and start projecting their fantasies as fact.

    What?? I didn't hear about this.:eek:

    Gays are great. Their music sucks but so do th....(won't say it, sorry):(

    It's around 10% with a 3.5% variance. It's not 25%. That's an agenda.
