Guest NCBored Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Do you think that men in general think of sex so casually that they separate the act of sex from a relationship? Is that way there are many "open relationships"? When I first acknowledged my sexuality and began acting on it, in the 70's, the gay culture I was exposed to (and please note that qualifier) was all about sex and the bar culture. Most of the gay men I met were closeted, and that also was barrier to relationships, to an extent. Committed relationships were definitely the exception. I do think that men find it easier to separate sex from relationships & feelings than women are and I think it's likely that's wired into us biologically (not to say that we can't overcome that 'programming'.)
