Straight guys and Gay Guys - Friendship
Just read an article in Men’s Health magazine about the benefits for straight males in having a gay male friend. Most the benefits centered around the gay guys inate ability to understand women better and both parties having something to offer the other.
The article dealt with the “ick factor” as well. You know, straight me imaging gay men doing it. They suggested you just let it go and know that the gay dude is not imagining doing it with you, so don’t stress it.
Of course, articles like this make me think about myself. What friends do I have that are gay…historically I have not classified my friends according to there sexual orientation. I have had gay friends/aquaintances in the past…but now that I read this article…maybe I should broaden my horizons and look to develop a friendship with a gay guy. So, any gay guys out there wanna straight friend?

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Huh?? I just stumbled onto your website and came across your blog posting. Usually, I’m mixed about Men’s Health articles - rolling eyes yet still itnerested in what they have to say. Althoug it does make me think about a few things. 1) Do you usually classify your friends? 2) I don’t usually think about doing it with a straight guy…let alone a guy and a girl going at it 3) What do straight guys have to offer gay guys? Don’t get me wrong - most my guy friends are straight and I value their friendship. But if I’m going to boil it down to what they do for me, they’ve never helped my relationship life except to push me to date a guy I can’t stand. However, I’m calld 95% of the time to help them figure out what to do with their gf/getting a gf/how to relate to women.
Wow. That ended up being a long ass comment. Sorry. Nice page. Keep it up.
