"We do have a very good sex life": Gay men with straight wives are coming out - as happily married
Salon ^ | 4/19/2015 | Tracy Clark-Flory

On the surface, the question seems simple enough: “Are you sexually attracted to your wife?” That’s what I asked 34-year-old Joshua Weed during a phone call. He breathed in deep. “That’s a really difficult question,” he said. “It’s hard to say that with clarity.” Weed is sexually attracted to men, but he’s married to a woman. “I love her very much and we do have a very good sex life,” he said. “I think she’s beautiful.” But he adds: “I’m gay.”

A drug. It helps you sleep.

It’s often used as a rape drug.

I think everyone is aware of this sort of classification, even if they have it defined differently.

Does that mean he learned to be hetero with his wife? That flies in the face of the popular psychobabble du jur that claims the preference is genetic, not cultural.

Herod the Great had maggots infesting his penis and this is not the only damage foreign organisms can do.


Huh. That must be why they call a “zipper” a fly.

From what I can tell, sexual experience does have huge effect on the direction one takes. This man, if he’s telling the truth about not having had any actual homosexual experiences, he’s learned to associate sexual activity only in a heterosexual context, so there’s a good chance that he will not act out on his desire.

I never believed that homosexuals were acting on actual sexual attraction. I always thought it was primarily an emotional attraction, with the sexual component being a part of the emotional attraction, because we are sexual beings.

I’d say so. Look at what happens with straight men, when they aren’t being emotionally fed by their wives. A lot of porn is consumed because men are lonely within their marriages.

Alpha males tend to be the guys who are bigger and stronger than other males.

More precisely, alpha males are the ones which lots of women want to have sex with. Mick Jagger (in his prime), for example, was not "bigger and stronger" than other males, but he was very definitely an alpha.

Beta males are the ones that women "settle" for, when it becomes evident that none of the alpha males who she slept with displayed any interest in actually marrying her. Betas are good providers, but unexciting.

With Alpha males, it is just easier to go through a succession of bed-warmers than to go through the trouble and struggle of maintaining a relationship with any particular woman. One of my college friends comes to mind: tall, handsome, intelligent -- all the girls wanted him. I was catching up with him a year ago. He never married.

These are people with "mental porn" problems. They are functional heterosexuals, but have "lust in their heart" issues. When their sex lives become boring after many years of marriage, they blame it on their fantasy gay life, which they don't want to abandon or renounce, even though it is essentially adultery. They think they can redefine their sin and make it more "special" than ordinary sin by surrounding it with fancy verbiage.

A word of advice: Don't mess with Mr. In-Between.

"Being a beta male usually means... you can develop a better and a deeper marriage than most other people."

I'm sorry. I would respond in depth, but this fit of laughter is about to incapacitate me.


Your comment made me LOL!!!

I tend to agree with you. A beta male, who has a prodigious amount of talent in an area, that can lead to a lot of wealth creation will become more desirable. Many of the notable scientists and authors, like Einstein and Huxley, were notorious womanizers.

I also agree with you that many of the attractive males tend towards unstable relationships because they’ve don’t have to learn how to please their partner because there is always another one around the corner.

"Weed, who has never had sex with a man, insists that his sex life with his wife is fulfilling"

This is a guy who exclusively has sex with his wife. What's wrong with that?

From the article: "Weed, who has never had sex with a man, insists that his sex life with his wife is fulfilling"

The only person he's had sex with, is his wife. How would she be exposed to AIDS?

It’s a party drug somewhere between Ecstasy and morphene.

He's one.
