So... Just how straight of a guy are you??

[Rhonda Jean]

This is a bit of an introspective, seeing as how I've recently discovered that I may have been playing for the wrong team my whole life. Or not.

A while back I read about a study done on homophobic and non-homophobic men that analyzed what kind of porn turned them on. I'm not going to site it here. Just Google it. Basically they put a strain gauge on their penis and showed them porn; Hetero, gay, lesbian, and recorded their erectile reactions. Turns out the homophobes were turned on by gay porn! Who'd a thunk it!

Ya' know, you really can't help what turns you on, and if someone straps a strain gauge on your penis, you can't hide it. Kind of a penile lie detector.

Now the introspection... I was exposed to zero porn as a teenager. As a young adult I'd sometimes visit the book store and step through the door that said "No one under 21". My selections there were pretty telling. I really never got anything out of typical straight porn. I don't think I ever bought a Playboy. I'd look at them, but none of them ever did enough for me to spend money on them. The gay porn magazines were even worse. I didn't get that at all. I'd always go straight for the Penthouse Letters or Variations. There was always something with a tranny theme in those. That's what I spent my money on. Sometimes I'd find a Tapestry (a tranny mag.) or some obscure publication that would have a picture of a crossdresser or Tgirl of some sort. Those were like gold!

Now, porn of all kinds is a click away. For me, I don't know that I've ever clicked on a straight porn category. I suspect that an analysis of my frequency of clicks on various categories would be pretty psychologically revealing.

I was at one time a straight, married, father. I loudly claimed that I was straight, totally committed to my wife and children, would always be this way and never that way. You know the drill.

But, what was I hiding? What if someone put a strain gauge on my penis and showed me various categories of porn? Was I as straight as I claimed? In the most important way, if I wasn't acting on it, I'm not sure it made much difference. I can see that it could be argued that it did, in a less-than-obvious way.

I'm sure I claimed somewhere along the way that it was just clothes. Hummm. It turned me on to see other "guys" dressed in girl's clothes. Is it still about the clothes then?

Those homophobes in the study group would never admit to being turned on by gay porn. They couldn't control or deny what turned them on, though. How about you? Behind that "over 21" door or alone with your computer... Just how straight a boy are ya?

[Adriana Moretti]

not so straight here......LOL......Bi....yes !!!!!

[melanie206]

Accepted myself as bi before I discovered how much I love being fem. Now I feel more gay than anything else but other CDs are what mostly attract me. And, personally, I am always skeptical about the large number of CDs who say they are straight but I love you all anyway.

[Caden Lane]

Skeptical you may have to be Melanie. Because strictly hetero is what I am. Although in retrospect, threads like this and commentary like that are why I was worried about my SO coming here.

[Madilyn A.]

When I see an amazing looking girl, I always hope she has that little something extra. I wonder what the penile lie detector has to say about that ?

[Jesse Six]

I've questioned myself over that endlessly as a teenager. Yep, used porn as a test, and the outcome: attracted to many women, some trans women, and a few effeminate men.

Lately I've moved to the attitude that "gay, straight, meh, they're just two labels. If you meet a person that you gel with, that's what matters."

IMHO, at some point the 'mechanics' of how you have sex are less important than the quality of the relationship. But I do understand why for some folks it absolutely must be a certain 'set of equipment'.

[Erica Marie]

Prefer women, also very bi, but not to the genetic male form. I am very attracted to other cds and transgirls.

[Barbara Dugan]

I only look straight...or I don't

[savannaxdrsser]

Very interesting thread! I have always thought of myself as hetro, but have always been open to all types of lifestyles. I never thought my dressing was gay, more of a gender-bending and letting my feminine side shine through. I have looked at porn, all types and do find the ones featuring CD's and Trans most arousing. A female friend thought i may be bisexual, we did talk about it and i did reveal my crossdressing and feminine side. She was and is very supportive, but as i though of it, I do consider myself very bi-curious, mostly for feminine men and other CD's. I do get aroused when watching some gay porn, it can be very erotic!

[abbylhr]

How straight am I? I don't like shopping.

[CrossJess]

Really? Does nothing for me what so ever lol you think it would me being gay and all, yet I can see why guys would get turned on when you have man with girl porn I get more turned on by that perhaps it's because inside I see my self as a female and for that reason I side with the female as it's the roll I prefer to take while sleeping with my bf

[Katey888]

Interesting thread (sometimes it's nice that they develop through the night while I'm getting my beauty sleep.. ).

I've questioned this of myself, probably more since discussing things about myself on this forum but... nope. Men of any shape, form or vestment do nothing for me. In fairness, 'classic' porn of the sort I came across as a teenager also didn't do very much. As it turned out, I had another type of... let's call it 'fetish' - not relevant for discussion here - but that doesn't involve anything gay. I'll occasionally come across some gay fetish stuff on the web accidentally and it just makes me cringe. No offence to anyone - I'm completely tolerant of lifestyles, sexual choices, etc. but it's clearly something that switches me off completely. It's always women - even the sexy girls I chat with here (and I can be a flirt... I know... but isn't that just girly fun..?) I know that I can appreciate what goes into how they look, but that's it.

I suppose acid test for all of us closeted types would be meeting another CD... and there's another thread opportunity...

Its all theater of the mind, which is not entirely bad, until this test. Having taken the test, not sure if I got a passing grade. Being with another CD/Tgirl is an amazing adventure in sensuality unequaled with any GG experiences of the past. Not sure if this attraction extends to men, but class is over where other Tgirls are concerned

Not sure if this qualifies for the 'gay' box but others here have said it is definitely in the homosexual one. But, the boxes and attempts at categorizing our 'orientation' have been examined at length in other threads.

Katey might be on to something with this new thread idea. Go for it girl.

Hugs, Robin

[Rosabella]

All of my life I have been very much only into adoring the female form. I have tried in this last year to be attracted to males. Nope. I can't do it. I am hopelessly only attracted to females. So I guess if I became a female I would be a lesbian.

My story is exactly in alignment with Kate's so I won't repeat anything.

This got me thinking, which is always dangerous. Imagine all of us, with professional makeovers and dressed to the nines in a club or party setting. A fabulous, memorable ladies night of the highest degree. Dancing, drinking, laughing it up. Then, the next night, we all meet in male mode at the same club.
Would there still be the same energy and vibe?

Whoops! Back on topic. I'm definitely not gay.

[Karmen]

It's the same with me. I consider myself a little bi, because I can get easily turned on by cds and transgirls.

[GeminaRenee]

Put it this way: I always chuckle when people refer to me as "the straightest guy I know," or things of that ilk.

In general, I'm far more attracted to femininity than masculinity. But I'll take a lover as my heart and mind and the butterflies in my belly see fit.

Fair enough?

[traci_k]

Haven't played outside this marriage, but definitely Bi. Au femme, could definitely see myself in the arms of some gentleman, and maybe more.

[JessMe]

For the most part I am attracted solely to women, and all of my relationship experiences have been with women. ...I won't deny that the occasional, few and far between, guy strikes my fancy... and I also won't deny having "experimented" a bit a few years ago...

[Eselka]

Lately I've moved to the attitude that "gay, straight, meh, they're just two labels. If you meet a person that you gel with, that's what matters."

That's exaclty how I feel ! I guess you could say I am "humansexual"

[Sharon B.]

Straight as a male but when I am dressed as a woman I often think about having a man take me and being able to please him. Over all I would say I am Bi, even though I haven't acted on having a man or pleasing one.

[Tami Monroe]

I agree. While in male mode, I am strictly straight. However, once I get dressed up, I have fantasies about being pleased by, and pleasing men.

[SHINY-J]

I agree. While in straight mode, I am strictly straight. However, once I get dressed up, I have fantasies about being pleased by, and pleasing men.

This is exactly where I fall in as well...

Totally agree with you there Jesse....

[Marsha My Dear]

I don't have any interest in men. When I'm deep in a Pink Fog my wife doesn't hesitate to remind me 'I married a man', and I thoroughly enjoy everything about the 'guy' expectations she has. But she knows, and relishes, the fact that I have a complex and non-traditional personality. Marsha is how I express my feminine, and usually submissive, traits. Her force-of-nature personality lets her be very comfortable as Marsha's dominating Madame when she wants to.

I questioned myself about why I exclusively watch lesbians when I view porn. I realised it's because I want to be one of the women, especially if it involves submissive behaviour. I very strongly feel that if I were a GG, I would be a lesbian myself.
