Question for the gays.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Many straight people think gay relationships, especially sexual ones, are disgusting. Do gays feel the same way?

Are gays grossed out when they see a male/female kiss or sex scene?

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

I sure don't.

[Torie]

I can't believe this question is serious.

[Kitteh]

I am the only person who voted yes, and I did so as a joke

In the last couple days, I've been starting to feel as if Obamanation is slightly becoming our new Rochambeau.

Why? A lot of heteros are grossed out by gay sex (though one wonders how many of those heteros doth protest too much).

[Fritz]

Its something I've had to see since being a child, so no.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I have some really affectionate straight friends, so...

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Yes (Heterosexual)

Only homophobic ones.

yeah the gay guys always seem to PDA hot girls way too much.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I actually think this is a fair question.

As for me personally, no, I don't find heterosexuality disgusting. I don't even find it slightly uncomfortable or anything like that. More specifically, I don't think seeing naked women is gross, uncomfortable, repulsive in any way, it just doesn't do anything for me. It has no effect one way or another.

That's always the amusing thing to me about how many heterosexuals respond to gays/gay sex, acting as if it's the most horrifying or gross thing they've ever seen, like it triggers some sort of vomiting reflex. I can't wrap my mind around why that is and why so many straights react that way. If it doesn't attract you, fine, whatever, but why does that actually disgust so many people? It's dumb, there's no reason for that except insecurity.

[MaxQue]

It would quite dumb, since none of us gays would be born if straight sex didn't happen.

I can recall being young, stumbling onto hardcore porn (piv.. wow I finally found a situation to use that acronym), and being grossed out. Same for hardcore gay porn.. people's greasy floppy bits smacking each other. Objectively it's all rather disgusting.

It's exposure and maturity. Now, show me a pulsating veiny sausage puncturing a wrinkly fleshy orifice and I'm all like "Well done, good sir! I must say!" and ask Reginald to fetch me a fresh pair of trousers and a cigarette.

Only homophobic ones.

Is that necessarily the case?  There are all sorts of things which trigger a disgust reaction in some people, which don't necessarily connote moral disapproval.  For example, you might feel revulsion at the idea of picking up a dead cat with your bare hands, and even looking at someone else do it might make you feel squeamish.  That doesn't mean you think there's something immoral about the act, or that you're casting judgment on those who do it.

[afleitch]

I don’t find it disgusting; there’s beauty in the naked form. However heterosexual sex it is not my cup of tea. I much prefer two men.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I guess the term "disgusting" has several nuances. Of course the usual homophobes and their variants will be disgusted by the very existence of homosexuality. On the other hand, I don't think there is any contradiction in being absolutely tolerant and respectful to all forms of sexuality while not being personally comfortable about a particular sexual act. It's like for other tastes after all: if you find a particular kind of food disgusting that doesn't mean you hate those who eat it. The problem is always normativity, ie thinking that your way is the "right" or the "normal" way.

It takes time to master that art.
