Experimentation

[ViciousScheme]

I know experimenting is o.k. but with a guy it seems more along the lines of gay. Why is man/man worse than girl/girl.

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

Its not. Its just a social stigma. Man to man is not any worse than women to women.

Who said it was worse, who even said it was bad?

[Aηdy]

Like others have said, man on man is no worse than woman on woman.

I think guys often perceive male-male experimentation as worse because some feel their masculinity is threatened. The whole macho male stereotype instills into guys that they should be strong and not show much affection for even their closest friends. Whereas females are encouraged to be affectionate towards all people regardless of gender. Basically I am trying to say that the attraction (however strong or weak) for another male goes against many social perceptions of how guys should be/act and that this could be a reason why some see it as "worse" than female-female experimentation.

I agree with Carole (~Tortured Beauty~). I couldn't have said it better myself. :D

Ditto, well said! I also think that because male/male is more frequent (up t o50% of guys have had a same sex experience to orgasm ), you hear about it more. And you therefore hear more opinion about it.

You may be totally straight and still experiment with the same sex. That's why it is called experimenting, because you have the right to choose what type of sex you have.

Well, it's 'experimentation' the first time you try it. After that, you're doing 'It' (whatever that might be), not so much to see what it's like, but because you like it. A repeat performance can't really be considered 'Experimentation', since you've already tried it.

Not necessarily. Just because you do something once doesn't mean that you know straight away that you definitely like it or dislike it. Experimentation can go on for a little while until you have a clear idea of whether it's for you or not.

im a bi guy... i think exerimentation was an important part of my finding my sexual orientation. had experiences both man-woman, and man-man... boh helped me discoer who i am today. im dissapointed with our society's iews on the "right vs wrongs" of sexuality.

i know... off topic, but what can i say, it hurts me to see words like gay and fag used so loosely. i just dont get what some people are thinking.

With the guy-guy there is always the question of penetration (was trying to find a nice way to say it). You can experiment, or truly be interested in the penis, or take it to some other level with the penetration. I think that many guys think that the 'doing anal' is a sign of 'totally gay' and the other activities are more exploration. Just my $0.02.
