I actually do think it makes a difference is it is two guys. I might be biased, but I feel females are more emotional than most males and can get really feely really fast. From all the gay guys I know, it doesn't seem that way with them. They are more able to just have a one time thing and not get attached and remain friends. I really don't understand a lot of gay male relationships, they just don't make sense what they do and how they treat each other...it's just different than what i see in heterosexual and lesbian relationships. I am of course stereotyping as I also know gay males in happy committed long term relationships, but it seems that that doesn't happen until they get older...it's like they need to get something out of their system in the their 20's and 30's.

I am a gay male, and I am not saying this about ALL relationships but the ones I have seen work for a long time have usually at one point or another have been open relationships. I also agree that sex not always but sometimes can be brushed asidied, but again not always and when it is not friendships go down the drain.

As far as dating, I dont know if I see it. One of those, attracted but to many different things including those who know gay relationships- we both play the dominant role to put it politely

I think that would be the quickest way to ruin your friendship.

Since you put this in the non-romantic forum......take the hint and leave the relationship where it belongs...in the non-romantic area.
Good friends are hard to find. One-nighters aren't.
If you want a way to quell the twinges of attraction, imagine an hour or so fighting over who's going to play the 'submissive' role , to put it politely.

Ahh..you totally misunderstood my intention in mentioning which forum it should be in.
Try reading it again.
(Hint...it should be in this one because you should keep it as a platonic relationship)

I don't think that's always the case. I know arguments of gays - both men and women -- can get very emotional. Break ups can become very spiteful and violent.
