Got into a nice argument at the bar last night and it raised a very valid point of double standards. If two girls are getting it on, it's considered cool. If two guys are getting it on, it's considered wrong. Without vulgarity, and I know many of you can't do it, can someone explain why there are double standards when it comes to gay sex?
 
Because this is a "man's world"
Founded as such and will likely forever be.
You see no frontal nudity from men in mainstream films, while women's nudity is all over the place.
It's a man's world, and the men are fine, for the most part, with lesbianism among attractive females.
When men get it on, regardless of their looks, it's just not accepted by mainstreamers.

Boots, there's nothing wrong with being bi-sexual. You can come out of the closet anytime.
 
Men are by nature insecure; if they feel their masculinity (a precious commodity in our current culture) is threatened or questioned, they will vilify or condemn the person or act in order to preserve themselves.

Guys aren't threatened by two girls together - somehow they view it as being to their own sexual benefit, not realizing it doesn't have a damn thing to do with them. I think guys can project themselves into that situation, something along the lines of "I'll show those two chicks what they're missing" or that the girls would turn their total attention to him and not each other if he was involved.

This is a very generalized explanation and doesn't apply to every guy, obviously. [/disclaimer]

I'm in no one's closet. In fact, it was a female drinking with us who brought the subject up. Led for some interesting talk that almost got the whole bar buzzing. Everyone was chiming it. It was good stuff. Some joking but really, everyone was very mature about the subject while getting their drink on.

What's wrong with the picture?

Pretty simple, if you ask me.

Sounds like you like to take it in the pooper and most other men don't.
 
One thing, men are much more aroused by visual stimulation than women. So two chicks together is exciting to guys.

Two guys together is not exciting to women -- just gay guys.
 
The fact that people continue to give serious replies to boots on stuff like this boggles my mind.

You don't want boots on your bad side ... or your backside.

It's not hard to boggle your mind.
It was an incident that happened. We just wanted feedback. If you don't like the thread, you don't have to read it. You can got to any number of other topics here.
Now, back to the topic at hand.

Boogie in Your Butt, by Eddie Murphy ...



[CHORUS]
In your butt
Put the boogie in your butt
Put, put the boogie in your butt
In your butt
Put the boogie in your butt
Put, put the boogie in your butt

I ain't puttin no boogie in nobody's butt
That's nasty, man
What you talkin about
Puttin boogie in people's butt
Are you out yo mind or something?
Could go to jail for doin something like that

Well step aside my friend
I been doing it for years
I say, sit on down, open your eyes
And open up your ears
Say, put a tree in your butt
Put a, a bumblebee in your butt
Put a clock in your butt
Put a big rock in your butt
Say, put some fleas in your butt
Say, start to sneeze in your butt
Say, put a tin can in your butt
Put a little tiny man in your butt
Say, put a light in your butt
Say, make it bright in your butt
Say, put a TV in your butt
Say, put me in your butt
Everybody say

[CHORUS]

I, hey, that's, man, I ain't putting no trees in nobody's butt,
no bees in nobody's butt, putting nothing--
You must be out your mind, man,
y'all get paid for doing this?
Cause y'all gotta get some kind of money
Cause this don't sound like the kind of--
I'd rather golf, to be perfectly honest,
than put somethin in somebody's butt
to be truthful

Well step aside my friend and let me
show you how you do it
When big bad E just rock rock to it
Put a case in your butt
Say, put a metal case in your butt
Say, put her face in your butt
Say, put a frown in your butt
Say, put a clown in your butt
Say, sit on down in your butt
Say, put a boat in your butt
Say, put a moat in your butt
Put a mink coat in your butt
Put everything in your butt
Just start to sing about your butt
Feels real good
When you sing about your butt, sing

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

Now wait a second, now,
Do y'all get paid for this, for doing this?
 
Peaches, in her song "Two Guys (For Every Girl)," makes clear there is at least one woman who gets turned on watching two men going at it.
 
I think a lot of it, as implied earlier, relates to male insecurity. Having been a penis-carrying male for a few years now, I can vouch that men possess a different vintage of insecurity than women.

Aside from the fact that most guys think hot beef injections in the balloon knot are just plain gross, there's the still-constant fear of "sissydom." Many males from - I'm ballparking - their early 30s to mid 50s grew up with fathers who were of the emotionally distant, macho sort. Dads back in the 50s, 60s, 70s were more often "men's men", with little ability to show affection toward their sons or their spouses. Just as their fathers before them, these dads instilled a generous helping of "traditional" male values in their sons, and part of those values was a distaste for anything decidedly non-masculine.

There's a change going on now with people my age, whose parents grew up and were influenced by the 60s and 70s. There hasn't been a complete transition, mind you, but I'm willing to bet that fewer men of my generation will be flopping onto a shrink's couch to work out father issues. I think all this trickles down to how men see homosexuality today.

Of course, as long as people steadfastly believe in an old book of Jewish fairy tales, homophobia will continue to be a societal blight. But you may notice that young men today are comfortable dressing nice, having their hair styled and using grooming products previously thought to be the domain of women only. We have a generation that is now less scared of looking "sissy", and as that generation continues to take hold, you may see less sentiments of disgust regarding man-on-man sex.

Two words: Hairy buttcheeks

Or is buttcheeks two words?
