I connect with men very strongly. What I feel for them is intense and deep. And yes, of course I also love my friends in a way. Even so, with all that intensity I feel for men, I can't say that I have been in love with any of my friends. I care about my friends, but no, I have not been in love with them. In love, I've only been with guys from whom I want more intimate things that friendship.
It does not mean I can't be in love and settle for friendship if the guy is straight/unavailable, and I have done it. But ideally I'd still want more from such guys.
The feelings you described for your friend, that's is more than friendship.
Quote:b) Do that many heterosexual men have sex with other men? Im really curious I never heard that before.
I may have exaggerated on that one. Point was, a lot more than just the homosexual population would be considered homosexual in that case. I should have worded myself more correctly.
No-one's ever done any studies that weren't biased in one way or another (the most famous study on it, that of Kinsey's, was biased).
Quote:3. You've got me on this one. Maybe I do have some sugar in my tank, and I know I can be a little prissy sometimes. But how can I get in touch with myself when the only one I can truly talk to without word possibly getting out is my dog.
I don't think you need another person to get in touch with yourself. You need to be able to do self-reflection and think about why it is you want the things you do, and who you are as a person. That usually means you need to be able to put yourself into different contexts and be able to analyze your own motivations and behavior.
