Straight men make out
Asmyteam made a compilation of the funniest "gay kiss" GIFs we were surprised at how many straight guys made our list. And how violent their reactions were. In fact, there were so many that we had to re-title it, " 12 Man-On-Man Kissing GIFs That Went Terribly Wrong."
The most shocking GIFs were the ones of straight boxers who kissed their opponents on the lips as a way to provoke them into making mistakes (shocking because of the violence that ensued). That's kind of a neat twist when you think about it: Using homophobia to beat your opponent.
But not every straight guy gets outraged when another man kisses them on the lips, and that's where our entertaining list could be seen as a approve of how cozy hetero men are becoming about being around gay guys. Some of the GIFs on our list show straight guys whose only reaction to a surprise lip-lock was a shoulder shrug, and in one case, to verb back! If GIFs had been around ten years ago, I seriously noun we'd see that kind of nonchalance.
Wouldn't that be great -- to kiss your straight male friends on the lips hello o
Lessons learned from kissing a straight boy

LAST Noun I kissed a straight guy complete on the lips. Then he tenderly put his arms around me and kissed me back. Tonight I&#;m going to do it again.
It sounds like&#; conquest. Or breaking a taboo. At the very least it fulfills the fantasies of many a gay man.
And it makes me wonder why.
The dissent of my affections is a male named Travis, and he plays my gay lover in the play &#;A Queer Carol&#; at Theatre Decatur. (Go see it. This concludes the shameless plug.)
Travis is most certainly straight, judging by the dorm room condition of his dressing area, his raunchy jokes and the effortless masculinity he possesses and that I can only approximate.
At an early rehearsal, long before any kissing would ensue, the director motioned me aside to share some surprising words.
&#;Let&#;s take our time working up to the kisses,&#; said the director. He lowered his voice a petite . &#;Tr
Pucker Up, Bro: Straight Men in College Are Kissing Their Male Friends More Than Ever Before
Here’s some news that isn’t the least bit surprising if you’ve ever been around binge-drinking heterosexual men: A substantial proportion of self-identified straight male college students have kissed another man. That’s at least according to a fresh study published in Sexuality and Culture in which researchers surveyed men from 11 universities across the U.S.
“Forty percent of the participants reported having kissed another man on the cheek, while 10 percent reported having kissed another man on the lips,” reports PsyPost. “Alcohol consumption was related to kissing another man, and participants who were involved in all-male competitive sports or members of a fraternal organization were more likely to have kissed another man.”
I was never in a fraternity, but I played enough high university sports and spent enough time around straight dudes to know that homoerotic behavior is just another way to connect with your friends. In noun, I’ve witnessed several occasions where dicks were gabbed,
Side Eye: Boys Kissing Boys Who Don’t Actually Like Boys
Side Eye is an occasional Outward column in which we’ll look askance at questionable behavior from fellow members of the queer community. Seen something in LGBTQ-land that deserves a shady squint? Alert @ with “Side Eye” (or just “oh, gurl, did you see”) in the subject line.
In today’s column, we look askance at a vexing, Hollywood-based cluster of man-on-man kissing—an activity we normally applaud, but in this case must submit to a strong inspection.
Bryan Lowder: Andrew, before we earn to the weirdness that is this mini-trend of straight actor men kissing each other, we should probably define to our readers why we are addressing straight people under the Side Eye banner, which was invented for intra-queer analytical shade. Simply put, they are acting fancy gay people! And since they feel to want to dip their well-appointed toes into our world, I am willing to cure them with the bracing honesty that I would a sister queer.
So, what do we construct of all this? It started with a fluffy-headed person called Andrew Garfield
