Hi adamthatcher65,
Before we touch on what to undertake now, can you tell me a little about what your thought process was when agreeing to experiment with him that first time? Was it something you were genuinely curious about or interested in trying? Did you talk about things like boundaries at all before you started? And did he only take it up once, or did he keep mentioning it until you agreed to try it?
I think it's also time to check in with each other about how you're each feeling and what, if anything, you're each expecting from this. That will give you a chance to state what you depend on to and him a chance to share how he's feeling. Do you feel comfortable having that kind of conversation with him?
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your power of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter soar again.
Gay but want to experiment with a girl?
I don't want to shock you or say you have to be a particular way but I suggest not pursuing sexual relations with them but just being better friends with girls and loving them for being the gorgeous and caring creatures that they are. I think you'll find that they're a lot more unique than you had initially thought.
As a straight guy cleaning up from PMO I have so much more new found respect for women and less anxiety with them too. Although I'm sexually attracted to women I'm not interested in sleeping with them but just being as caring, gentle and honest as I can and this makes my friendships with girls all the more meaningful.
I hope you aren't scared and that you don't get unnecessarily confused over it all. I think just relax, take it for what it is and enjoy making new friends.

Experiment: Gay and Straight
June 2023
BY MARK SAXENMEYER
Twenty years ago this month, the documentary I produced, directed and hosted, Experiment: Male lover and Straight(EGS), was air on Chicago television, followed by nearly two dozen film festival screenings around the globe–from San Francisco to Montreal, Belgium to South Africa. The plan, designed to foster a better understanding between same-sex attracted and straight Americans, was hailed by American Journalism Review as “infinitely watchable” and lauded with prestigious broadcasting, film and journalism awards. It remains one of my proudest career and personal achievements.
And yet now, two decades later, I watch it with a sense of melancholy. Much of what I think EGS aimed to achieve and celebrate is being publicly and systematically unraveled by some of the most evil and dangerous threats in 21st century America.
I called the project “reality TV with a purpose.” We invited five gay and five straight Chicago-area residents, all strangers to one another, to live together for one week. They discussed a mult
Straight Males and Homosexual Experimentation
Ooner1
Quite simply, I’m wondering how common it is for self-identifying straight males to experiment with homosexuality. Sorry if this comes off as asking for TMI, or if it’s in the erroneous forum (seemed too "what’s your personal experience?) for GD.
Being gay and having gay friends, I hear a lot about 2 kinds of dealings with straight guys. The first is youthful experimentation, before the participants are fully aware or easy with their sexual orientation. I personally never had such experiences, I didn’t have sexual contact with anyone until I was fairly mature and content with my sexuality.
The other contact is the kind of thing you overhear about more in erotic fiction or porn, which is the sleeping with the straight guy AFTER they’re both older and fix in their sexual orientation. I’ve had friends talk about how they’ve “gotten with” straight guys just because the timing was right, a guy was horny or what have you. Again, I know nothing of the sort, and always considered straight guys to be completely unattainable.
Now, I don’t include too many direct male friends, and those I perform have I’ve never asked a
