I get what you're saying, but viewing those acts through a modern lens doesn't really work. The men raping the boys wasn't what we'd perceive as a homosexual act, the men (in most cases) weren't attracted to other males in general or the boys they were raping; as Niamh said it was an act of asserting power more than anything reciprocal or "romantic".

If anything it was probably closer to "prison gay", with the culture's social seclusion of women and delayed marriages.

Yes, great analogy

I have a joke and a laugh with you.
I’m happily straight and confident to do so.

Obviously some men would just not go there at all, but there will be a lot that will. Some will think that as long as they're not receiving anal then they're still straight or if they're not blowing they're still straight.

I just say, do what you want and forget the label.

I use a particular app a lot to know that a lot of 'straight' men look for gay sex.

In this era of inflation most lads/blokes would go gay-for-pay. If it’s a choice between starving for three weeks and getting evicted or just letting some sugar daddy do his bits with your bum for however-many hundreds or thousands most people would obviously go for the latter, albeit in secret. Personally I don’t see doing anything for pay (within reason) as that deep.

Straight guys are very easy

[Redway]

I’m just whatever when it comes to sexuality. I identify as hetero. but I’m very far from belligerently-homophobic (guys who are like that are suss.). I have my preferences and they just happen to be of the more conventional kind but really whatever is is. I don’t think people realise how indifferent it’s possible to be about stuff like that but still be nothing other than straight (or whatever it is you are).

[Redway]

I think that cool-headed ‘I’m really not out here trying to give an eff about things that aren’t super-important like that’ approach I have with things like this is the main reason certain people around me actually used to think I was kinda sus. myself. Really it’s just a certain generalised indifference to lovey-duvey stuff (not that I don’t appreciate or need it but it’s far from my number one priority with all the stuff and inner musings I have going on) and a certain self-contained horniness that I can relieve by jerking off alone with a bottle of Magner’s at most (without even having to watch porn. anymore, not even). Other people in the past have given more damns about my sexuality than I have but at the end of the day I’m not asexual or anything like it. I just do my thing quietly and don’t care if other people know about it or not. Your body count is surely your own business.
