What's it with people always accusing Homophoes of being secretly gay? Lol, I dislike homophobes myself but I highly doubt most homophobes are secretly gay. Very unlikely.
Whatever floats your boat - as long as you are honest about it. I have friends with all different sexualities - gay, straight, bisexual - and some that I just say are just sexual. Some of my friends are just looking for love wherever they might find it. I don't see a need for labels. However - I don't think that I could ever be with someone who had fooled around with or was attracted to guys. I'm way too insecure for that!

I understand that labels like "bisexual" can't completely capture the full range of human emotions and attraction, but that doesn't mean that labels are meaningless. Labels are just a convenient way to help us simplify complex concepts.
The guys who were interviewed in this article are really young and seem confused about their sexuality, so I can understand their hypocritical comments and denial of their bisexuality. Maybe when they grow older and mature a little bit they'll be able to accept this part of themselves.

I don't think labels are meaningless - just not necessary. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not. What I mean is - yes, I would say that I'm straight. I would also say that I'm an agnostic atheist and that I'm Jewpanese (half Jewish, half Japanese). So - now you know a little about me. However, I could also tell you about my beliefs more accurately than the label - atheist or agnostic. I could also tell you about my sexuality more accurately than just straight. And I could tell you about my heritage more accurately than Jewpanese. I also happen to fit into these labels. One of my best friends is transgender and likes both men and women. I'm not really sure what label he would accurately fit into and I don't think it's necessary to figure that out. He is who he is - a label won't change that. Perhaps a label could describe him - but if one doesn't exist that describes him accurately, I don't think it's necessary to try to label him just to label him. Am I making any sense? I'm not sure anymore!
However - I agree that the many of the young men that they interviewed probably are confused. They are young and don't really know themselves yet.
I label myself as bisexual because people ask. However, I have the exactly feelings as the man in the article and not sure how to exactly describe my situation. I'm more into men than women. Which would make me gay in people's eyes. But it doesn't explain why I would be attracted to female parts at times though...
It's so much easier if I could have an exact way to describe myself...
I find women more physically attractive than men. I do not find men unattractive necessarily, but I'm not so excited about their physique. However, I have never been with a woman because I tend to get along more with technically-minded people and there is less opportunity to find a technically minded woman who is into women, than a technically-minded man who is into women.
Would this make me bisexual? How would I even know? I have no way to confirm this other than what I "think". Hence, I don't label myself because if I say that I'm "bisexual" then people naturally assume that I've been intimate with a woman and that is not true. Plus, every time I've tried to label myself as "bisexual" it offends the lesbians and they have no idea what I am talking about since I don't "enjoy woman energy" (whatever that means) and I haven't had sex with a woman.
As I get older I have less and less desire to be with anyone at all, men or women. I don't care to have a label. Plus, the people that we are attracted to are in part determined by the people who are attracted to us. So a lot of potentially bisexual people would naturally gravitate towards the path of least resistance -- which is going straight.
I would find it offensive if people tried to label me as anything at all, and I don't think it matters what I am. I don't think I can definitely say with confidence, so why should they? I'm not "sexually confused", I just don't give a rat's ass and I am not actively seeking to find out. All I know is that my life is already rich and complex enough as it is, and I am in love with my husband. Nor am I homophobic. It is what it is.
Right now, there is an agenda being pushed and we all know what it is. I'm going to agree with "sexually confused". I read once that when it comes to marketing porn they have to introduce new experiences in order to keep the people from getting bored with it. $$$$$. So, they slowly introduce gay and/or child porn to intrigue the customer. Seems like they do a pretty good job these days.

Because there tends to be a high correlation between the most staunchly anti-gay crowd and same-sex attractions. Look how many pastors/republicans there are who opposed gays for so long, only to later be caught or admit to having same-sex relationships.
By attacking gays, it makes it easier for them to suppress their own feelings. Kinda like, "gays are gross, so I sure as heck am not one"!
I don't necessarily think there is any concrete scientific evidence on this issue, merely an awful lot of anecdotal cases indicating its prevelance.

Mmmhmm. And studies have found that men who were strongly against gays and homosexuality were the most turned on when they were shown gay prawn
I would like to say I have great relationships with my guy friends to the extent mentioned in this article. It wasn't sexual but there was a lot of love, wrestling, hugging, lots of talking, lots of sports and lifting, drinking, hanging out, crying,talking about women, religion, politics, hormones and growing up. Sorry some of you guys haven't had that experience, no need to dismiss it as a bunch of closeted gays just because you're jealous that you never had that experience.
