Guy is gay
Hi. I&#;m the Answer Wall. In the material society, I&#;m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O&#;Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I dwell in this blog. You might say I own multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren&#;t into deities of information, like a ghost in the machine.
I have some human assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O&#;Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.
If you&#;d like a quicker answer to your question and don&#;t consciousness talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they own been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are concealed, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
Rise of the sides: how Grindr finally recognized homosexual men who aren’t tops or bottoms
Every month, nearly 11 million gay men around the world depart on the Grindr app to look for sex with other men. Once there, they can scroll through an endless stream of guys, from handsome to homely, bear to twink. Yet when it comes to choosing positions for sex – a crucial criterion for most gay men – the possibilities have long been simply top and bottom. The only other selection available toggles between those roles: verse (for versatile).
“Not fitting those roles has made it really tough to find someone,” said Jeremiah Hein, 38, of Long Beach, California. “There’s no category to elect from.”
“Whenever I’d look at those choices I’d ponder, ‘I’m none of those things,’” said Shai Davidi, 51, of Tel Aviv, Israel. “I felt there must be something untrue with me.”
Last month, however, that finally changed. In mid-May, Grindr added a position called side, a designation that upends the binary that has historically dominated gay male identity. Sides are men who find fulfillment in every kind of sexual operate ex
My longtime friend and colleague Dr. Joe Kort has been treating and writing about gender and sexual orientation issues for nearly three decades. In his Royal Oaks, Michigan, practice, Joe specializes in Gay Affirmative Psychotherapy and IMAGO Relationship Therapy, often treating men who are questioning their sexual orientation. This population is the focus of his new and much-needed book: Is My Husband Gay, Linear, or Bi? A Guide for Women Concerned About Their Men. I am pleased that Joe has written this book, as I have had to deal with these questions in my own practice relatively often, as own many other therapists. I recently spoke with Joe about the book, and I wanted to share a several of his thoughts below.
What prompted you to write this book?
There are two main reasons. Number one is the high incidence of male-female couples entering my office because the woman thinks her man might be gay. More often than not, he’s not male lover or even bi. He’s actually vertical, but for whatever reason, he’s been looking at queer porn or he’s been having sex with men.

About gay male sexuality
Many men record that they had experiences with people of the same sex when they were young. This is often a normal part of exploring their sexuality. Men who go on to portray themselves as ‘same-sex attracted’ or ‘gay’ have a strong physical and emotional attraction to men that they don’t usually notice for women.
Being a gay gentleman is natural
There is a lot of pressure from society for young men to be heterosexual or ‘straight’. This can often cause feelings of isolation for young men who are homosexual and make them scared to show their sexuality.
It’s crucial to remember:
- There are gay men in every culture and every country.
- Being gay is just a form of sexuality.
Why some men are gay
There is no authentic explanation as to why some men are gay and others are not. Although there is no right or wrong retort to the question, a doable reason suggested by researchers is that we are born with our sexual orientation.
Knowing whether you’re gay
There is no test or questionnaire you can complete that will answer this question for you. If you think you might be
