Do gay people really have sex with people of the same sex?

Yes they actually 'do it' any man who has gone to the adult video section at any video rental knows this. Duh.

no. because with guys and girls being friends the sex part usually gets in the way....think about it.... if i have a guy friend for a long enough time an attraction will usually come between us. but with a gay guy you know that will never happen.

Yes, they are. Just as in humans, animals often form long-term same-sex relationships. In animals with a seasonal breeding pattern, homosexuality can even be seasonal. Male walruses, for example, often form homosexual pair bonds and have sex with each other outside of the breeding season, but will revert to a heterosexual pattern during the normal breeding season.

I've had a lot of sex.  I mean a LOT of sex.  With a lot of people.  Some at the same time.  Some of them were girls, some were guys.  And as happy as I might be about them, I don't see a bisexual "I love sex" slate being very sucessful.

I don't know if it's possible for anybody to change who they feel attracted to. . . but then that's not the point.  It's possible for anybody to choose who they actually have sex with, because that doesn't really depend on attraction.  I'm a heterosexual, and it would be perfectly possible for me to have sex with another man if I chose to do that.  In the same way, it's possible for homosexuals to choose to have sex with members of the opposite gender, even if they aren't attracted to them.  It might not be an especially interesting experience for them, but they can't say it's impossible.  In time they might even learn to love that person, because love doesn't really depend on sexual attraction anyway.  So yes, it does boil down to a choice which is perfectly within your power to make.  The only thing that matters is what you do, not who you are.  Nobody ever asked more than that.

It's not like you are actually going to see some one having intercourse with some one else to be able to determine this.\n\nHere's an interesting website that gives other people's views on determining if some one is gay or not:\n\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_17204_determine-someone-else.html

Well, if you catch them engaged in a sexual act with a person of their same gender then that would be a good sign. \nI almost cringe to even answer that question because I do want to perpetuate stereotypes of homosexual people and I do not want people to think that there are real "signs" of being gay as though gay people are so different. Bottom line, it's probably none of your business. If you are a family member or are concerned for a friend's emotional wellbeing then maybe you could ask them. But if they are not "out" then you should not tell. Sexuality is a very personal thing and having a sexuality that is different or considered "wrong" by  mainstream society or that person's family can be especially painful. Again if you are a family member or a concerned friend then offer a sympathetic ear and your ability to be sensitive and keep a secret. Otherwise, concern yourself with  more pressing matters.\n\nRemember when addressing this that any sexual prefernce is not chosen. People are born with it. And even if people believe it is a matter of environment and not a matter of biology then know that it is still out of that person's hands. Please remember to be kind and understanding of all people and their sexual orientations.

Isn't that stereotypical?\nEach relataionship hetero or not, has it's own private dynamics. I don't understand why you would want to know. \nA truly gay person would not be asking this question so are you just curious?

Yes.  I have heard that there is a `gay` gene that determines a persons sexuality.  This is hereditary from ones mothers side.  \n\nThere has been a lot of scientific research into these genes and conclusive proof that it is hereditary.\n\nHowever, I accept that some people choose a gay lifestyle themselves even if they are `born` straight.

This question cannot be answered reliably.  Relationships happen and end every day--so there is no reliable statistic.  Also, since most people who engage in gay relationship continue to be closeted--again there is no reliable statistic available.

Yes, it is possible. I have several male friends who are straight. We even talk about other people we go out with together. It's not a big deal. We enjoy each others company but in a purely platonic way.

You have sex with other people of the same sex as you as well as having sex with people of the opposite sex of you.  Not necessarily at the same time.

No. Psychologist say that it is common amongst some straight people to be curious about it. Many of them never actually act upon it. Some act upon it and don't like it afterwards and it ends the curiousity. Some act upon it and like it and it turns out they are bisexual. \n\nIt all depends a lot on you and where your sexuality fits on the scale. There are those who are exclusive heterosexual and exclusive homosexuals. I'm the latter. I've never even thought about the opposite gender in a romantic or sexual way. Since I was a little boy I always wanted to kiss the boys and hold their hands. That's what it means to be an exclusive homosexual. And there are heterosexuals that are like that, too. They have never even thought about being with someone of the same gender. Then there are all the areas in between and right in the middle are the degrees of bisexuality. Some are bisexual, but lean more towards heterosexuality (meaning they enjoy and are attracted to both genders, but enjoy being sexual and romantic more with the opposite gender) and those that are bisexual but lean more towards homosexuality (meaning they enjoy and are attracted to both genders, but enjoy being sexual and romantic with someone of the same gender more). It is said that those who are exclusively heterosexual, exclusively homosexual, and those who are 50/50 bisexuals are actually the minority sexually. It is all the middle grey areas that are more common. Atleast that is what I've read.\n\nI mean, consider the type of scale it is\n\nHeterosexuality/Homosexuality\n100/0\n90/10\n80/20\n70/30\n60/40\n50/50\n40/60\n30/70\n20/80\n10/90\n0/100\n\nEach end is the exclusive (top being exclusive Heterosexual 100% heterosexual 0% homosexual and the bottom being exclusive Homosexual 0% heterosexual 100% homosexual) and the middle area is the grey area of bisexuality. Obviously a person who is 90% heterosexual and only 10% homosexual is probably not going to act on the homosexual tendency, it is very weak. But that person might occasionally have a dream that is somewhat homosexual. The same would be true of a person who is 90% homosexual and 10% heterosexual. They may realize they are gay, but occasionally would have a heterosexual dream. That might cause the person to question, but probably never act. As you get closer towards the middle the more likely the person is to have actually acted upon their interests...gay or straight.

Yes they can. Its called Bi- curius. Bi sexual is someone who has experiemented with both and actually knows they enjoy both sexes.

I am straight and I was born this way.\nYou are gay and I know you were born that way.  Cheers!\n(Here's a bit of scientific proof for the naysayers)\n\nThe sexual area of a gay man's brain works a lot like that of a woman when exposed to a particular stimulus, researchers say.\n\nIn an experiment, men and heterosexual women sniffed a chemical from the male hormone testosterone. The homosexual men's brains responded differently from those of heterosexual males, and in a similar way to the women's brains.

Yes many gays find love and devote themselves to one another. Have you seen on the news how many gays wanted to get gay marriage legalized.

People do not just become gay. It is widely agreed among the scientific community that gay people are born gay. Many studies have linked it to genetics. Enjoying it is a whole different issue.... most people probably do not enjoy being persecuted and hated. However, if by enjoying it you refer to gay sexual acts, they enjoy them for the same reason heterosexuals enjoy their sex acts: pleasure. Sex feels good, whether or not the majority of american society is willing to acknowledge it doesn't matter.
