Thinking Gay
This is not very deep or thoughtful, just something that popped into my head.
I'm a fan or slash, which is basically fan-written homosexual stories of romantic/sexual nature, starring characters from television shows and movies. I go for the slightly more japanese variation, yaoi and yuri. This got me thinking, because I take great pleasure from yaoi stories as well, even though, after some thinking, I've come to the conclusion that IRL I would prefer a woman as my partner. Still I enjoy guy on guy action.
I think men can be pleasing to the eye as well but that's not the point. The point is, that if I imagine that I am a man, I can imagine a relationship WITH a man no problem. I can love him and lust after him so that makes me wonder if there isn't such a thing as homosexual brain after all? I feel comfortable when I'm surrounded by similarity.
The search for similarity is very strong in me. The only good hetero relationship I've ever seen is between Victor and Victoria in Corpse Bride and they're just dolls... but, of they are so similar, like two children together, neither stronger than the other, both against the world together.
Usually when I see a guy (on tv or IRL) who makes me think that he appears really, really nice or almost like someone I could imagine liking, he turns out to be gay. It's like there's a special friendliness I'm drawn to, one I haven't so far seen in heterosexual men. Is it the similarity? Or is it the lack of threat because of the lack of interest? I wonder what it's about.
Well, this was just a post for pondering, not very civilized and cooked up mainly to keep this community alive. Answer if you like, if this raised any thoughts in you. :)
