Dad wants you to know game recognize game.

Straight men should feel comfortable decoupling a) recognizing when another man's hot as fuck from b) being turned on by it.

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 41 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Being able to compliment another man on his looks and not think of it as somehow a bad thing is a sign of being confident in your own sexuality to not be scared that you might "turn" yourself.

Real men can give and take any compliment and not think it makes them less of who they are.

This includes "Nice cock bro"

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Cock has a real nice mouthfeel bruh

I used to have a gay friend who said his favorite part about giving head was feeling it grow inside his mouth.

And, like, yeah, I could see it.

As a straight guy I can totally tell when another guy is hot and would have no problem telling him he’s attractive. But if I’m turned on by it I’m thinking that would negate me being straight. Pretty sure that at least crosses into the bi category.

In my book, a guy being turned on by women and not guys is the definition of straight.

The amount of times I’ve been met with “but you’re gay” when I’ve been “wow, she’s gorgeous!” or something similar is astonishing.

Like I can recognise when someone or something is aesthetically pleasing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I want to shag it.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

How are museums legal? Like, why am I the only one who gets in trouble when I fuck the art?

Isn't doing a sex on something the only way to express your appreciation for something?

*picks up an /s* "What's this doing here?"

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Love this. Was thinking about jokingly saying I don’t want to fuck a Monet, but decided against it. I’m glad someone else went with it and did a better job.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Ew. Monet? That slutty art just puts it all out there for anyone to get it. I prefer that punishing dom, Magritte. Yeah baby, tease me with your gestalt. Show me that pipe and then deny my inferences. "Oh yeah, nice fucking flower, Monet. What, am I supposed to just imagine there's a face hidden behind those lilies, all by myself?"

Did I just become bi?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 2 hours ago

If you want to shag both men and women, yes.

Serious question: How can you tell?

I recognize a certain type of Hollywood hot, like Chris Hemsworth is full of muscles and to me seems likely to be seen as attractive. Same with Henry Cavill, etc. But I know that stereotype from being exposed to it, nothing innate like when I see a beautiful woman and immediately feel how attractive she is.

And besides that one stereotype, I can't tell a hot guy from average. For example, when Ryan Reynolds was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2010 it caught me completely by surprise, I had no idea. Similarly when people talk about George Clooney as a paragon of male attraction, I wouldn't have guessed that before hearing about it. (I don't at all doubt that it's true, I simply don't experience it myself.)

[–] Senal@programming.dev 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

It's subjective and context based, on a person to person basis and in the aggregate societal norms.

It's the same as if you were talking about whatever broader group you were personally into. Just with the erotic attraction part removed.

If you, personally, have no criteria for judging you can try and work with what you understand the conversation partners tastes to be.

~~If you are talking to someone you think appreciates Hollywood hot then you can way "they are hot" with the understanding that you are commenting from a shared context of hot.~~

~~If you were to say "I think they are hot" that's a different context and implies you, personally, think they are hot.~~

~~To be clear, neither of those explicitly states an erotic attraction, though it can be taken that way, depending on the context.~~

Communication is hard.

I'm a straight man. I do recognize from time to time that some men look good.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Well yeah, you look in that mirror everyday.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I'm straight, married etc., and I can barely say a guy is hot or has a great body without sexualising it. Hell, my wife and I sometimes both turn around when we walk past someone hot on the street (does not matter the sex), and can both agree that damn, that person was sexy as fuck! Again, not sexualising. It's not that hard...

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It’s not that hard

Sounds like something is hard

Just making smalltalk about the weather…

[–] art@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

[–] renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 12 hours ago
