First, a note about the rather complicated position from which I speak. I am a gay guy who has had a girlfriend. Or, maybe it’s more accurate to say that I’m a straight man who sometimes has been sexual with men, at one point closeted and later openly. Or maybe I’m bisexual. Or maybe I’m making it up as I go along. Because I have crossed lines often, maybe I have shaky standing to speak about gay male sexuality. Or because I cross lines, maybe my vantage point provides a valuable view. Readers can make their own decisions about how, or whether, to listen to me.

You CERTAINLY have "shaky standing" to speak about HETEROSEXUAL male sexuality!

Or because I cross lines, maybe my vantage point provides a valuable view.

Yes, as valuable as Sam Berkowitz's insights into canine discipline.

Huh? Were you saying something?
