I'm doing a poll with the utmost respect to everybody involved and everybody that reads this: If you are a straight man at any time in your life were you ever confused or curious in regards to having same sex (gay) attractions?

If so could you tell us about that experience? How long did it last? What type of guy did you have a crush on? Did anything develop? How did you decide you were to be straight?

So, where's the poll?

No, I've never had any interest sexually in a male. None. Not ever.

No, I can't even face locker rooms anymore. I think I reached my lifetime limit of swinging packages and hairy butts when I was a member of a local tennis club some years ago.

The way you described that locker room makes me want to stay away.

I hope I don't get banned from this "guy question" as I am female...but I just wanted to point out that nearly every guy I have known/befriended/dated/married had what I would call (though they STRONGLY would not) "crushes" or strong emotional attractions to at least one other guy.
Women can have other women they "love" and it's no big deal...but a guy has to hide strong caring feelings for other men. I don't know if men were allowed to show those feelings how many would be tempted to take them further than they do.

Miss Otis we are not discussing strong feelings of care, we are talking romantic attraction or physical attraction.

Remember the Seinfeld episode, where George gets a massage from a male massage therapist and wonders if he is gay? He confused something feeling good, which could come from a guy or a girl in this case, with his orientation. It was funny, because he was so insecure about it all...

Ha ha that is hilarious. I don't remember that episode at all though. That character George is great because he is always so edgy and insecure about everything. I bet there are thousands of guys out there that are like George.
