Sanity: Most guys would agree that it's a good thing to keep. But, -an astonishing fact is that upon hitting puberty, -most guys experience mind-numbing mental conflicts between what they feel & what they're told they should feel -in 1 area specifically: amBiSexuality
A whopping +63% of ALL guys experience some degree of extreme attraction for some of their peers & the pressure to "get the feelings straight" is overwhelming, & very often, -the battle is completely private (unshared & unspoken).
Ironically, many guys feel that they're "the only one", when the fact is that they're part of the majority experience! Why?
Frankly: Because nobody wants to be associated with being a "FA6".
The public perception (promoted heavily by 'gay-male media') generally is that men who love other guys are "girly", cowardly & worst of all -into AnalSex.
Most guys find those attributes extremely unmasculine & unethical! It isn't really an issue about who you love as much as being associated with guys who aren't really "men" in their heart, & choose to disrespect masculinity as a result. What guy wants to be part of any group perceived like that!
So, lots of guys lack the understanding that it is possible to be with another guy -without either guy "playing the female role"; -& guys who do discover this fact generally experience a great deal of psychological relief.
This applies to lots of really great religious guys. They think the "holy writings" forbid SameSex intimacy, -when what those writing actually forbid (specifically) is a 'guy playing the female role'. Has your church/synagogue lied to you? Probably! The evidence is in those Scriptures themselves when carefully studied in context & in the original languages.
The fact of the matter is: Men have tremendous latitude in the nature of their friendships as long as respect, trust & discretion are held in high-esteem. Loving a guy AS A GUY can be an awesome experience (called 'G0Y')!
