I suspect we develop irrational prejudices quite naturally. They come as a mental shortcuts. I reckon I have an Innate racism that arises from the racism of my parents. But intellectually I know racism to be destructive and unfair so I actively fight that urge at every turn.
I reckon you'd like this book, it's brilliant.
Lot's of analysis of the type of thought that you and bwarp are both talking about. Well worth a read.

Hi Folks,
Resident gayer popping in, if anyone has any questions related to gayering. 🙂
Singletracked: my personal belief is that there is a much larger scale than the Kinsey one, a continuum of sexualities between gay & straight. Again my belief is that there may be a genetic predisposition to gayness that is activated by first years' experiences.
All I can say for me is that I have never, ever, fantasised about the ladies. Only hunky men! 😀
As for religion, it is different. You take a child from birth, hide all aspects of religion from it then at 18 tell them about all faiths and none and let them read the holy books, I imagine some would be "spiritual" but most would hate the violence/misogyny/hatred in there. On the other hand I knew I fancied Mr Hume, the geography teacher, like crazy, even when I didn't have the word "gay" to attach myself to! (He was well gorgeous!).
My 2p's worth anyhow.

I strongly suspect that very, very few would go "oh, so that explains it!" and convert on the spot. I don't doubt some would, but I'd put good money on it being a minority.

's a point, actually. For all that STW is supposed to be made up of whiney middle-class [s]coc[/s] er, IT Managers, I don't think I've ever used a forum this skewed towards heterosexual males. Offhand I could probably think of maybe three or four regular chaps and chapesses who are (openly at least) of a same-sex preference, and one TG member, which seems remarkably under-representative.
THE B&B OWNERS TURNED AWAY ANY COUPLE WHO WEREN'T MARRIED, AS THAT WENT AGAINST THEIR BELIEFS

My boyfriend & I stayed here...
In the double bed?

Careful. You're almost following Projects thinking there. I've ceased making any assumptions about the sexuality of STW members - for a start, isn't Easygirl actually a bloke? Perhaps we could have a special "Rainbow" P for LGBT members.Cougar - Member

Later in the review there is mention of "the room" and "the bed", so unless she's got terrible grammar, then yes, it sounds like they shared a room, and a bed.
Double post.
But a chance to make another point. It doesn't matter if they did discriminate against unmarried couples, both gay and straight, that's still discrimination and they shouldn't be allowed to do it. It does sound from the evidence like they were far more concerned about the gays than the unmarried straight couples though.
And since when does a couple of feet of carpet stop two people shagging if they want to anyway?
I've never quite understood the idea that gay is something you pick up as you go through life. Without much variance, the gay people I've met have never been attracted to the opposite sex. Some have dabbled but generally they've always known that they weren't into the opposite. Interestingly most of my gay friends have straight siblings so clearly the family weren't indoctrinating them to be gay or giving them gay tablets or whatever it is people who assume you learn to be gay think.

If you turn up to most hotels as a straight couple, they tend to assume you're married once you're past a certain age so I'm willing to bet they wouldn't even ask the question.
LOL @ project's post.

I knew a bloke at Uni who decided, all of a sudden, that he was gay. He was a sensitive, arty type, and thought it was the sensitive, arty thing to be. Someone who really was gay took him aside and explained the ins and outs (as it were) and he changed his mind back again quite quickly.

I'm almost offended. I think (hope!) you misunderstand.
I did qualify that with, "openly". I've no idea how many users aren't 'out' or just don't feel the need to mention it, and I wasn't really commenting on that. All I was meaning was, it feels as though comments like Andy's are rare, comparative to other arenas I've been a part of.

What did he think they did, stay up into the early hours of the morning playing Canasta?

If you turn up to most hotels as a [s]straight[/s] couple, they tend to mind their own business.
Your subconscious and conscious self are always doing battle. If they don't and the unconscious wins, men can often become opportunistic rapists etc
Best you continue keeping a lid on your urges then sunshine..
I for one am burdoned with the overwhelming compunction to French kiss dolphins but luckily we don't get too many round here.
Some people never cease to amaze me.
On the point of are you born gay etc. I know a guy who is renowned for being generally randy and keen to shag pretty much anything that moves. He also generally does everything to extremes.
He's straight but he's been considering dabbling in shagging men for a bit, just because a) it will be an interesting and different experience, and b) because it will make it much easier for him to pull.
Make of that what you will. Not sure if he's gone through with it yet or not. 🙂
A fascinating read thanks.
I think it all stems from an unfortunate pool-side accident at SeaWorld as a child when I slipped over and inadvertently fingered a blow-hole.
Make of that what you will.
He sounds like the ultimate attention seeker.

I guess that's what I should have said 😉
I'm confused. On this gayness scale, at one end I quite fancy Brian Molko out of Placebo, at the other I have quite a small and thin todger.
Should I be bisexual, to cover both possibilities?
Apologies if i offended anyone with my earlier comments,they where meant to bring attention to other peoples views, from ignorant biased people that i have experienced.
Adam w you have email for your your excellent responce.
