Question: Are we gay when attracted to shemales?
The term "gay" typically refers to sexual orientation of males, i.e. homosexual. If a male is "gay" he is sexually attracted to males. This can be considered a two step process. First; there is attraction to physical appearance (maleness). Second; there is attraction to the male genitalia. This then can result in sexual stimulation of the male genitals (homosexuality).
OK, if a male is attracted to the appearance of a shemale because she looks female and then desires to sexually stimulate her male genitalia, is he "gay"?
The genitalia and their function are exactly the same for both male and shemale in all respects, scrotum, testis, penis, erection and ejaculation. The only difference is the appearance of the person possessing the male genitalia. Now "gayness" refers to sexual attraction to the genitalia (male). As far as "gayness' is concerned the appearance of a person should have nothing to do with desire for the genitalia. Consequently, if one desires sexually the genitalia of a shemale, since she possesses male genitalia, that person by definition is "gay". There is the option that a person may sexually desire both male and female genitalia, in that case, the person could be considered bisexual.
The confusion arises when at step one, the male is attracted to the feminine attributes of the shemale. Then at step two, he is attracted to her male attributes. Most males will deny that they are "gay" when attracted to and sexually stimulating a shemale, even though the sexual activity is essentially the same as male to male homosexual activity. The only difference is the initial attractiveness of the person, male or shemale.
Males go to Thailand to have sex with "ladyboys" and they do not consider this homosexual activity. The ladyboys are obviously boys, often they are flat chested and have very boyish bodies and some have huge cocks (Mint). Yet, many supposedly heterosexual men indulge in sex with ladyboys (boys).
Even though most of the males on this forum deny they are gay, they are nevertheless thinking about or participating in gay activity. There is the argument that the shemale "looks" female therefore her genitalia are female. Obviously, this argument is not biologically sound. The other argument is that if the shemale "believes" she is female, then her genitalia become "female", again the facts are, by definition, male genitalia consist of scrotum, testis and penis.
The reason I have tried to logically analyze the issue is because most males are extremely sensitive about "gayness". They do not want to be considered gay or be associated with gays. Yet, they participate in gay activity when they can deny that what they are doing is gay activity. The male mind is very good at hypocrisy when it allows him to do what he desires especially (sex). OK, considering oneself bisexual does not get one off the hook either. If one desires female genitalia and also male genitalia, the latter is still gay activity.
After working through this thought process, I recognize that since I desire male genitalia attached to shemales, I have gay tendencies. So what does that mean? It means I like genitalia, male and/or female. It does not mean that everyone I see who possesses male or female genitalia will be attractive to me, however.
