Why do gay guys like straight guys
LastweekI took to my Facebook wall to repost this HuffPost article about 13 straight male German stars kissing for a GQ photo shoot to demonstration homophobia and intolerance. Some gay men posted and sent me messages stating that they initiate it erotic to watch two direct men kiss -- sometimes more so than watching two gay men peck. Some said they found this as erotic as two women kissing might be to a straight guy. This got me wondering: Why are some gay men sexually turned on by straight men? Some even prefer linear men over same-sex attracted men!
Before I acquire readers insisting that not all queer men are attracted to straight men, let me speak I know that. I know, too, that it's politically incorrect to own up that there are gay men who are attracted to and pursue direct men, thanks to the myth that we gay men will pursue anyone who's male, ignoring social norms and acceptable etiquette. Of course this is ridiculous. In evidence, it's so ridiculous that I performed some stand-up comedy on the topic, which you can see here:

10 Reasons Gays Chase Straights
We've all done it, and some of us execute it over and over again. What leads queer woman and gay grown-ups to abandon reason and pursue the sexually unobtainable?

Heck, even the flagrantly homoerotic Abercrombie & Fitch ads toss in a bikini-clad woman for every 10 buff shiftless dudes, lest we think the fellas aren't hankering for female companionship.
