    Only straight people that have never had the “omg al I gay?” Moment and REALLY thought about it.

    Like you’re playing spin the bottle in hs with 5 girls and 1 other guy and you’re like “if you land on a girl you gotta kiss the girl” and the girls are like “fine, but if it lands on a guy you gotta kiss the guy” and you’re like the odds are ever in my favour “okay” you and your friend agree. Then you’re the first to spin the bottle and of course it lands on your friend but you ain’t no bitch so you man up and kiss your best guy friend right on the mouth to keep the game going so you can kiss some hot ladies. Kissing your friend seems a purely mechanical experience.

    But you just kissed a guy. “Omg. Am I gay?” You think. So you go through it in your head.

    After the party you give your friend a ride home, only to make out in your car. That seems meh but you continue the thought experiment.

    Then you picture his parents aren’t home, he invites you in. You go in and go to pound town on each other. Again, it’s not great, but hey, you got off, that ain’t bad.

    But then, in your mind, comes the afterglow.

    You picture laying in bed, holding eachother. Telling secrets, caressing, laughing.

    Fucking bleh.

    You continue the game. You kiss some girls. You enjoy the fuck out of it.

    And that my friends is how you are straight but not insecure about it. I’m 42 now, this actually happened to me at 16. I’ve been secure in my sexuality ever since. I’m convinced these insecure, homophobic men, at least, have never entertained the “omg am I gay?” Moment, for fear of the answer.

    Live your truth, whatever that is.

      Who’s more straight, a dude that’s tried it before and decided it ain’t for him, or a dude who won’t even entertain the idea? I vote that real world experience wins out.

    I watched the Aurora Teagarden Mystery movies and the boyfriend stays over and sleeps on the couch.

    You can tell they’re made by Hallmark.

      Sorry I’m uninformed, but what do you refer to? Is it old fashioned that a boy stays over at a girls house and sleeps on the couch?

        It’s just a very old fashioned “our characters are morally perfect Christians” approach

        For adults? Yes, it would be old fashioned for an adult boyfriend to sleep on the couch at his adult girlfriend’s place.

      What if she splashes some pink in to my blue? Will that turn me in to “The Gay”? WILL IT!??!!??!?

      Fuck it, I’m off to lube up my arse just in case. Does, errr, any dudes wanna help? In a total manly fashion, of course.

    Some people see heterosexual people living their best lives and choose to be bothered by it. Ironic

    This is to prevent the man from contracting transosity from the woman’s farts.

    I could imagine such a setup for my wife and me. While I’m usually the more heat-resistant person, she showers and baths at temperatures that I consider too hot. So she could have her 42°C bath, while I take my 35°C bath at the same time.

      Same with us. Husband says “jump in the shower with me” but he keeps it at a miserable tepid barely warm temperature. I get chilled. I don’t ask him to get in my shower because he thinks the heat will melt his skin off.

        This is an incredibly common thing, and I’m wondering if there’s some kind of science behind it. If I got in the shower with my wife it wouldnt be like “wow this is pretty hot water” it’s literally like “OW OW OW OW” and I have to jump out. I’m fairly certain being exposed to that for more than a few seconds would result in low grade burns.

          My hypothesis is it’s a combination of body fat distribution, blood flow rate, and surface area to mass ratios.

            That would check out: I am the skinniest person in my family by far and have the lowest blood pressure, and also shower like 5°C hotter than everyone else.
