[0] It works both ways! A guy once told me and my wife that we made a cute couple despite how disgusting heterosexuality really was. And I was like... okay, thanks?
- scarface_74 2y agoNot completely true. Most men are not disgusted by a lesbian couple. I don’t mean just men that fetishize about it. But many are disgusted or at least discomforted by seeing gay men being romantic. Thought experiment: if a wife in a heterosexual marriage told her husband that she previously had relationships with women, I know many men (including me) who would just shrug and move on and not really think about it. On the other hand, a man couldn’t just tell his wife most of the time that he slept with men before
- howenterprisey 2y agoSilly question, but on that last point, why? (I can't imagine, but I'm unimaginative.)
- scarface_74 2y agoMy guess is gender roles? Women don’t see gay men as “masculine” while men don’t see gay women as less feminine.
