or what i've been eating it might be bisexuality i don't think that they're gay one thing i learned is that a lot of gay men don't consider married and i mean married to women. and gay and less they're into kissing and most of these guys aren't sure one thing well i'm trying to figure out what i can and can't say on t.v. . but. they they feel like men can provide. sex acts that they understand better how's that for beating. around the bush for their. turn to talk about it and so they think that men will know how to please them better as well as the fact that they're just curious and it doesn't mean they don't want to be with women a lot of them will say hey i just want sex whoever's available man or woman i'll take it it doesn't matter that's that's for interesting why do you think in general most conservatives are up tight about sex or is it the exact opposite are they secretly obsessed with it i'm afraid to admit it. i think we're probably all obsessed with it now afraid to admit it one thing that i learned during this that was another shocker is how little sex partners talk about
