Straight guys forced gay

Many men report that they had experiences with people of the same sex when they were young. This is often a normal part of exploring their sexuality. This can often cause feelings of isolation for young men who are gay and make them scared to show their sexuality. There is no real explanation as to why some men are gay and others are not.

Fewer people know that some men and women have same-sex encounters, yet nonetheless perceive themselves as exclusively straight. When a closeted gay or bisexual man has sex with another man, he views that sex as reflecting his secret identity. He is not open about that identity, likely because he fears discrimination. When a straight man has sex with another man, however, he views himself as straight despite his sex with men.

According to nationally-representative surveys in the United States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men. Tony Silva argues that these men are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting. Most of the men identified as straight because they felt that this identity best reflected their romantic relationships with women, their integration in communities composed mostly of straight people, or the way they understood their masculinity. Tony Silva argues that these men — many of whom enjoy hunting, fishing and shooting guns — are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.

A man accused of dressing as a woman to trick men into having sex with him, and uploading videos of them to the internet, has pleaded not guilty. Bryan Deneumostier, from Florida, had uploaded "non-consensual recordings" to a pornography site called StraightBoyz, the US Department of Justice alleged. The website offered its subscribers videos of "real straight men" in sexual situations with other men. Prosecutors said Mr Deneumostier would be detained until the end of the trial.
