Writing homoerotic fiction is far too mentally and physically taxing. It is strangely satisfying way to relieve sexual tension though. :lol

Still I got a kick out of it. I was reading it in Neil Patrick Harris voice.
 
Yeah homophobia in America's youth is fucking hilarious. I blame the rap scene to a large degree (is "no homo" still common with kids? probably the worst thing ever). Uptight insecure ninnies.

I write text because of the strong attachment I have to it. You have much more creative control with it than any other medium. I don't take this seriously though, my total experience is three posts on NeoGAF in threads with a veil of homoeroticism. Just adding to the atmosphere.

Yeah. I mean look at how all our posts are just rubbing up against each other. It's like a skyscraper of dudes on dudes every page....with like three or four girls lost in there somewhere.

Feels weird, man.

Lucky. I think the earlier seasons of Real Sex in my high school days were a bit less balanced, and I'd finish the program generally annoyed.

Vagina, vagina everywhere. Girls jiggling and writhing against each other, spraying food on each other, licking each other, painting each other with latex, and other such things. But heaven forbid they show a dick or two. Hooo nooo.. we couldn't have that! And if they did show dick, it was usually attached to the nastiest motherfucker on the channel.

Damn that vag. Always in the way.

Argentine men often kiss each other hello and goodbye on the cheek.

Same here in France. For me, "la bise" (a kiss on each cheek, sometimes two, depends on the region) is the way to greet any girl, whether you know her or not, and can be used between guys if you know each other and feel like it. Then you can add some hugs for the persons closest to you. It feels really natural. Otherwise, for men it's a simple handshake. Of course, some groups of people use various types of bro hugs and complicated handshakes too...
 
See, it's an American and UK thing.
Everyone else is advanced and not that worried about this stuff.

And wow, I was totally reading USD's stories in a NPH voice too.
...but for another reason. :lol

The real question is which way do you kiss first? If you cross wires and go the wrong way, awkwaaaaaaaaard.
 
The only one that really bugs me is the wrap your arm around my neck (sort of like a headlock, but really loose) and talk to me in a close, confidential manner. It's fucking disgusting being that close to some dude's face (the 'headlock' forces the speaker to be damn-near mouth-to-mouth) while they are trying to 'have a moment' with you. The worst part is they have control of your head so if they wanted to take that opportunity to lean you in a bit more to live-out their repressed gay fantasy of planting one on you, you're pretty-much helpless.

Leaning in to whisper your little secrets works just as well you touchy-feely fucks!
 
Some friends who I don't see that often any more get hugged when I see them. Friends I see on a fairly regular basis get a handshake or special handshake. Hugging them each time I see them (can be daily or any other day) would be a bit too much imo. On a birthday a hug is mandatory.

Female friends get a hug or a kiss on the cheek (both sides) when I greet them. I only have one female friend who only gets a handshake.

Why is one of them only getting a handshake? And what is a 'special' handshake?

Well, she is the gf of a friend of mine who is not from my other groups of friends. I only know her for a half a year and when we met the second time we talked about how we should greet. I told her that I usually hug or kiss female friends on the cheek and she said she prefers a handshake. So it's not like she is being left out while the others get their hug.

This is what I consider a regular handshake:

This is the special handshake:

Which can be extended sometimes, then going from this to the regular handshake.

6 Bullshit Facts About Psychology That Everyone Believes

"Carl is Such a Homophobe! I Bet He's Secretly Gay!"

If you watch any movie or television show that focuses on gay characters, particularly those made by Alan Ball, you're going to eventually see the "Hates Gays Because He's Secretly Gay" character (see American Beauty). It's such a pop culture archetype that in real life when you see some guy at the gym expressing disgust at the whole gay thing, you automatically assume he's got some pictures of well-oiled dudes under his bed. Or actual dudes.

And we do see it in real life; staunch conservative politicians wind up soliciting sex in public bathrooms and sending pornographic emails to underage male pages.

Why it is Bullshit:

OK, we admit this is sometimes true. There was even a popular study done in 1996 with 64 male college students, 35 of whom were homophobes (according to a survey they filled out gauging their attitudes on the subject). The researchers hooked a meter to their dongs (seriously) and had them watch lots of porn (yes, this happened--here's the damned link).

It was found that the majority of the homophobes would get at least a semi-boner while watching gay porn (where only about a quarter of the non-homophobes got aroused).

You can see right away what's odd about the numbers. All-told, nearly half of their total test subjects got at least semi-hard watching the gay porn. So... half the male population is secretly gay? That seems fairly unlikely.

So, what is it? That guys who volunteered for this test were simply more likely to lean that way? You do have to wonder how dedicated they were to the anti-gay cause if they agreed to have some wires plugged into their tackle box while they sat and watched a movie called Rear Admiral.

Or maybe this was just some very well-made gay porn. Or, maybe this whole thing is just ridiculously unscientific.

Ding! We think we have a winner!

Hell, the above study even notes that gay lust and anti-gay rage can both give you a boner. We've got a confusion boner right now!

The main problem is that nothing in science says that "homophobia" is even a thing. It's not listed among the actual phobias. It's more of a slang term that gets used in popular culture to describe a huge range of attitudes, from people who have strong moral objection to homosexuality due to religious beliefs or upbringing, to people who physically find homosexual sex disgusting, to people who brim with an inexplicable rage toward gays.

Combine them all and you find that about half of the population thinks homosexuality is morally wrong (with intolerance skewing higher among older respondents, obviously). There is just no scientific criteria for which of those people are suffering from "homophobia."

It sounds like we're splitting hairs, but it's a great example of the kind of problem people run into when they decide to play amateur psychologist and "diagnose" the people around them. Remember, the guy who's spouting a particularly venomous anti-gay diatribe may be covering up for his own confused homosexuality, and may deserve only your pity. But there's a very good chance that he's simply a dick.

Where did you get that fucking figure?

I disliked being touched by people I don't know well and , but amongst friends hugs are common. If anything, its more common for me to hug a male friend than female one.

It was a response to someone else. Please turn on your sarcasm detector.

On an aside, I've been turned on by gay porn before, mostly just the fellating though, getting ass rammed is a turnoff period to me, I always skip it when watching porn. Straight in the vag for me
 
we roughhouse sometimes, hug if we haven't seen each other in a bit

whatever, man - we're all adults here
 
I do it all the time. Nipple pinching, butt poking, bear hugs. I am a very physical person when it comes to show my appreciation to people I love or care about.
 
Troidal said:
Handshakes, hugging, pats, gestures of friendship are fine.

However, I find teasing like light jabs, poking armpits or any ticklish area, pretending to play boxing...these kinds of thing are immature. College environment, or with friends at a drunken ass party, sure it's tolerable. But we get these in our office and it just seems unprofessional and uncomfortable especially with co-workers I hardly know.

How about poking the ass or grabbing the crotch?
 
Why do every single one of these threads become gay-recruiting threads eventually?

"C'mon, try it! If you don't yer really a homophobe, and that means yer already gay... by trying gay shit, that means you are comfortable with your sexuality, and liking it, doesn't mean yer actually gay... "

lol srsly

Contrary to what gay porn tells you, a good percentage of gay guys don't actually like anal sex.
 
Am I too late to link to the iron-fisted ass-lift? Because that's where I draw the line.

Seriously though, just go with the flow. Usually shaking hands/bumping fists are 100% "safe" maneuvers, so if you're really that unsure about it just stick to that.

90% of American men have never played a sport in their life? Through college most sports have some sort of handshake/pat on the back line after the game, and all the attaboy ass slaps from teammates?

This is a common mistake, GAF does not properly represent the real world.

cos straight guys having gay sex is hot.




If the thread was about physical contact between girls. You'd have the same things said but by straight-gaf instead of gay-gaf.
 
I watched a gay porno once. I kept thinking, "The girls will show up eventually." The girls never came, THE GIRLS NEVER CAME.

I did.

:lol

I remember on my previous job, some US partners came to visit us, and they freaked out when we tried to kiss them on the cheeks to say hello.
 
I'm fine with it. I'm not afraid to give a hug out if I won't see the person again or haven't in a very long time. I don't see anything wrong with it.
 
I'm not to fond of being touched at random or inappropriate times.

One day a buddy's thigh touched my thigh. At first I was like it's fine, then it was like ok 10 seconds in..am i essentially saying "lets fuck"? 20 seconds in it's like ok are we dating now or something?

ya those are real thoughts...two dudes shouldn't touch thighs when there's ample space in the room and we aren't doing nothin.
 
Usually I'll do the 'hand shake, pull in for a manly three back-pat, eye contact and a solid one-nod, no smile, release'.

Full-embrace hugs are reserved for very close friends, on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays.
 
I'm perfectly straight, but i have actually gone as far as kissing a couple (just a quick on the lips, no tongue or anything, i would DEFINITELY draw the line there). Usually it's a drunk game of gay chicken for some reason (2 guys go in, first to pull back loses). Sometimes just to freak the shit out of the couple that get really freaked out.
My argument generally being that well, when girls do it, it's considered hot, guys do it and OOOO all of a sudden it's gay.
 
I kiss one of my guy friends on the cheek regularly as a form of greeting, and I'm perfectly straight as far as I know. Don't know what's strange about that.

I also believe that no-one is 100% straight, NO-ONE, but that's a different topic.
