I don’t know if I’m representative at all of the general population, and I swear I’m not trying to be an aha! guy here, but I do ponder this subject every other day or so. Maybe it is my exposure to the online queer/trans spaces, or in part my upbringing (among my parents’ friends were many gay couples), but it’s frequently on my mind. Is that something you ask yourself ? I do an exercise : I peruse the female form, and I strain to imagine the same individual as a man. Over time I’ve gotten quite good at this and it challenged my historic view of gender pretty effectively. I dropped thinking of individuals as women or men first, which is how the world was built in my brain from early on (can’t say why really). Ultimately, men do nothing for me, carnally speaking. I remember this Woody Allen (?) quote where he said bi folk have twice as much chances to get laid at any given party. I can find any person charming, including men, but that’s from an interpersonal point of view, and it doesn’t seem to extend to physical attraction. I’m afraid I find the mere thought repulsive.
