why some men are afraid of their gay friends

okay, so i had a bit of an epiphany the other day.

you know how there is this stereotype of guys assuming their best friend wants to sleep with them when he comes out to them? so, for instance, jim and joe are best friends. jim like cock. after much soul searching jim decides to come out to joe. jim tells joe he likes cock. joe automatically assumes it's his cock that jim likes.

i've always wondered about this, since generally when beth tells betty that she likes pussy betty doesn't assume it's her pussy that beth likes.

well, i had a sudden thought the other day...

you remember that theory put forward by harry in harry met sally? the one that says men and women can't every just be friends. that men will always on some level want to sleep with their female friends.

well, i don't subscribe to that. i don't believe it. the women i've talked to about it also don't believe it, but it would seem that men are not as convinced. this is all vast generalizations of course, i have no doubt that there are women who believe it and men who don't. but yeah, it seems that there are more men who believe this than i would have expected.

how do these things relate?

well, if joe is friends with beth and betty and he on some level wants to sleep with them, and all his other female friends, then i guess it kind of makes sense that he figures jim must want to sleep with him if he's gay.

makes sense? i don't know, i'm tired and a bit inarticulate tonight, but it was just a bit of a lightbulb moment for me so i thought i'd write about it.

oh, and yes, of course, i want to sleep with *ALL* my friends, they're all just that fabulous, so none of this applies to me. ;)
