Am I gay?

Post Reply New Topic

Forgot to say - something I've noticed about people
You can be a girly girl, or a blokey girl, or a girly boy, or a blokey boy, but there only seem to be two genders, or its a two-end scale. You can even be a girly boy who likes girls. So there's really no telling. The less visible half of gay guys are the butch, blokey, lumberjack types that I go for and that everyone assumes are straight because they go to wrestling matches and ride motorcycles and shoot animals, before going home to their blokey boyfriends.

And none of that really pertains to whether your brain works more like the majority of men i.e. spacial reasoning and systemising strenghts or more like the majority of women - multitasking and social communication.

The theory of autism as a hypermasculine brain effect is from Simon Baron Cohen (wikipedia him) and does I suspect apply to sexuality also. Because Im a blokey gay guy and i've seen lots of blokey gay guys into other blokey gay guys.

Im going to shut up now. Im probably just making it all more confusing.

Nice responses from most.

Miss Pickwickian,

sometimes 29 year olds are found to be trolling the adolescent asperger forums and we let them know they are not needed here. Although after reading your quite succinct summing up of him, I see modly urging was not necessary!

I am glad you are thinking about your nascent sensuality. After years of working with mine, I come to find out I am just interested in the sensuality of myself and the other person - and not the gender, after all.

only trying to help. sometimes 29 year olds (so, sooo old though, practically archaeological) remember (just, in the distant mists of time) being confused and 15 and think their experience might lend some perspective, having been through it and having found it one of life's big questions. Maybe I'll change my trolling tool from oh, google, to dns error. Make you happy? Ya think? Yes?
