Why do straight men become gay? (legal, drug, Afghanistan, party)

[Malkiel]

I was reading about how in developing countries wealthy men would have sex with young boys.

Example:
FRONTLINE: the dancing boys of afghanistan: introduction | PBS

I'm just curious why those straight men would have sex with boys. Are they bisexual or are they all gay? But they do seem to have families as well so did they just marry to have kids?

He wasn't straight to being with.

any male that will have sex with another male was never straight to begin with...
bisexual or gay, but certainly not straight...

as to why they would have sex with BOYS...well if those boys are underage, its because they are messed up people who need serious help (and/or punishment)
if those "boys" are simply younger but LEGAL consenting adults, they simply like younger guys...it could be the "innocence" or it could be they look hot...

as for the marrying and families...
this is very common with closeted gay men, especially those with very traditional families who will not accept a gay son...its a good "cover story" they could also be in denial...

i knew one guy in college who swore he wasnt gay because he was never on the reciving end when he was having sex with a guy, and he "had a girlfriend" (with whome he slept with twice in 3 years...)
he was in total denial.

Wasn't this the norm in ancient Greece? Older married men often had sex with teenage boys on the side.

Male bisexuality has been pretty common in history. Indeed, pure homosexuals of either gender are actually rarer.

Huh? Where they just doing it on the foyer/pool area out in the open or something?

the gay couples and drag queens wouldn tbother me...
heck even making out wouldnt bother me...
but flat out orgies, sounds like you walked in on a munch or play party and a very disrespectfull one at that...
id personally complain to managment, if it is a group meet they should have been provided with a private area, or guests should have been made aware there was an event going on in such a section of the hotel so they could avoid it.

i attend events like wicked fair in nj every year, its an adults only fetish/fantasy based convention essentially and its held in family friendly hotels, we rent the conference rooms and pretty much rent out enitre floors...

hotem lamangment is fine with it because we keep to our given space and dont purposly bother other guests, none event guests are typically housed on what we call "quiet floors" typically upper floors or on one side of the hotel so that noise from those involved in some kinkier late night activities do not disturb guests.

we get complaints occasionally from the prudes, but we NEVER EVER put our event...or hotel managment in a position to make the hotel look bad out of respect...
sounds like this group wasnt following those rules and managment should be informed and formal complaints filed.
