    you don’t have to look. staring at straight couples kissing is rude and creepy. why stare at dudes kissing?

    also, grossed out is not the same as angry or violent or offended. i’ve seen brutally ugly people in bathing suits, yeh it’s gross, but they’re just trying to enjoy the sun.

    If I see two men kissing I have to have a boner? And if I have an angry one, that makes me conservative? At this point, I’m struggling to get what is going on :D

    Can a straight guy just be grossed out by it without being gay himself?That seems more realistic than always being secretly gay.

      If said straight guy is also grossed out by kissing of other pairings of humans, then definitely, yeah.

      I also imagine that some people are not actually gay, but rather are just worried that it might invoke something in them, which would cause social problems for them. So, to block out any such impression, they develop this grossness reaction. I used to have that, too, when I was young / socially dependent on people inaccepting of homosexuality.

      I do not see why else someone should be grossed out by two male lips touching.

        Seeing two men/woman is so rare for me that it freaks me out at first. Then immediately I ration that is normal behavior and carry on.

        There’s no such thing as male lips. Lips are gender neutral. And they’re all gross. And they’re even grosser when they’re touching something.

          Yeah, then you’re a person that’s grossed out by any kissing. That makes sense to me.

          Calling them “male lips” was kind of tongue-in-cheek, similar to how a male nipple is perfectly a-ok, but a female nipple needs to be censored, even though they’re visually generally indistinguishable.

      Nobody can stop you from thinking about cock sir, if you love cock so much you just want to think about it all day, that’s fine. No need to dress it up as “being grossed out”
