Can you be gay but not intrested in sex
Do gay men ever have sex with women?
Dear Reader,
You question a really complicated question! To answer your question plainly with the information that you’ve shared, it’s likely that some gay men do have sexual relationships with women to hide their true orientation, due to terror of coming out. Indeed, there are gay men who sense pressured to mask their sexuality because of cultural, familial, religious, or personal beliefs that being gay is wrong. It's also possible that someone who identifies as gay may want to have sex with someone of another gender. However, "performance" when it comes to sex, which may be interpreted as arousal and possibly ejaculation, aren't determined exclusively by attraction. Unfortunately, while you've asked a great question, explore in this area tends to be outdated, and lacking in some areas, like in the difference between feelings of arousal compared with sexual identity. Much of what is known comes from surveys or anecdotal evidence, which may not be as scientific as a research learn, but still can offer excellent perspective on the topic.

Sexplain It Live: I’m Gay and Not Interested in Sex at All. Am I Doomed?
I'm Zachary Zane, a sex writer and ethical manwhore (a fancy way of saying I sleep with a lot of people, and I'm very, very open about it). Over the years, I've had my fair share of sexual experiences, dating and sleeping with hundreds of people of all genders and orientations. In doing so, I've learned a thing or two about navigating issues in the bedroom (and a bunch of other places, TBH). I'm here to respond your most pressing sex questions with thorough, actionable advice that isn't just "communicate with your partner," because you know that already. Ask me anything—literally, anything—and I will gladly Sexplain It. To submit a question for a future column, fill out this form.
This is an edited and condensed transcription from last week's "Sexplain It Live," which was recorded on Men's Health's Instagram. I was joined by Zhana Vrangalova, PhD, a NYC-based sex and relationships consultant, speaker, and writer.
How do I deal with the jealousy that comes from ethical non-m Sexual Attraction and Orientation
As people verb from childhood into their teen years and beyond, their bodies develop and change. So undertake their emotions and feelings.
Adolescence Is a Time of Change
During the teen years, the hormonal and physical changes of puberty usually mean people start noticing an increase in sexual feelings. It's usual to wonder and sometimes agonize about new sexual feelings.
It takes time for many people to understand who they are and who they're becoming. Part of that involves better understanding of their own sexual feelings and who they are attracted to.
What Is Sexual Orientation?
Sexual orientation is the emotional, romantic, or sexual attraction that a person feels toward another person. There are several types of sexual orientation; for example:

Hi. I&#;m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I&#;m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O&#;Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I include multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren&#;t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.
I have some human assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O&#;Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often cite to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.
If you&#;d like a quicker acknowledge to your question and don&#;t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
