I read an interesting article on Huffington Post last night. Had some interesting points...
Why is it socially acceptable for straight women to hookup with other women, but men are ridiculed for even thinking of hooking up with another man? I fully understand that there might not be any attraction or interest, and that's fine...but I know for myself that I would be lying if I hadn't thought about what it would be like to get freaky with another dude. I have had a couple opportunities, but I choke (probably the wrong word to use
) under pressure. I think it comes back to the social normalcy of man on man sex.
Tell me...what are your thoughts? Ladies, is this something that you would want to watch your partner participate in? Gents, has this ever crossed your mind?

I've always classified it as social stigma and hypocrisy. Women are soft and sensual, so when they're together, it makes for almost a romantic, sensual vision. However, men are supposed to be in control, the "alpha" and when two males are together, it has implications that one is lesser than the other, or that one has surrendered his interest in women, or things like that. Those of course are false generalizations, but society can generalize like a sonofabitch when it is convenient. Frankly, it should be to each their own, as long as everyone is consenting and there is nobody being hurt (unless they want that lol).
I think it's quickly becoming more and more socially acceptable, and that is a good thing, in so many ways. There is a completely different aspect to male sexuality which includes being venerable and sensual, (regardless as to who is on top), and those of us who like to indulge on occasion understand this, and we revel in it. 
Of course, you can achieve that state with someone of the opposite sex, but between two men, it's a differently exquisite experience that every man should feel, at least once in their lives.
I'm bisexual and I've had sex with a handful of men, and for me, it always felt as natural as having sex with women does. However, it is a completely different exchange of energy than having sex with women. I think that difference is at the heart of the lack of social acceptability man on man sex.
Things are changing, though.

The writer of that article was obviously obsessed with hanging labels. He refers to men as either Gay or Straight. The whole article discussed male bisexuality, yet the word wasn't used at all. I myself (Torque) don't consider myself straight, even though I am married to an awesome sexy woman, and obviously I couldn't be labeled as gay, either, now can I? I can (and do) have sex with either gender 1on1; and all together 3ways at times.
Give up on hanging labels and do what feels good.
