    For John Kusak? I'd hope guys would go gay for someone better looking than him. Like Brad Pitt. That's a man I could understand most men going gay for.

    John Cusack, ahem, is a pretty handsome man. If I went gay for any man, perhaps it would be Brad Pitt, but don't be trashing Cusack. Also, his movies are awesome.
    Brad Pitt scores again!

    Cusak is a pretty good actor. I won't deny that one.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I've always maintained that while I may not consider myself gay, I will totally have sex with other men to avoid the draft.

    I mean really, what's the downside of that situation?

    Cock. In you. As a straight man, I think that's kind of a downside.
    Well you know you won't know until you've tried it.

    I think a lot of people just don't have faith in online relationships. It's all different to each person, but I'd never say something can't work just because of how it started (not saying you judge me, just adding that $0.02).

    And if he has little annoying habits I can't stand, I'll tell him. We're very honest with one another. Besides ... his sister trained him not to leave the toilet seat up. =P

    What about pheremones? I'm a big believer in a 'chemical' attraction between two people which can mean a relationship is more potent and will last longer than in couples where a similar connection is not present. I know online relationships that have worked (my mum and her husband) and many that haven't (my partner and her ex-husband), but as far as I'm concerned I'd never invest myself so heavily into a relationship that's really nothing more than a gamble.

    Now I'm sure relationships can work without this 'chemical' element which admittedly we don't really know much about, but I personally believe there's more than just physical preference at work when it comes to those few people you find yourself irrepressibly attracted to.

    So the reason I don't pursue anyone is because my sense of smell only half works?

    Could be!

    Research like the stuff in this BBC article has always interested me a lot. It's also been suggested that hormonal birth control can 'change' the way women recieve pheromone signals - meaning a woman using the pill might be attracted to someone, and then once they're off it, the attraction goes too. My partner maintains that this explains a lot about her previous relationships. I don't have a good link though, so for now it will stay in the realm of possible myth.

    edit: another BBC link about the pill and pheromones

    Guys sex with another dude is like, the raddest. You people always go straight for "dick up the ass" angle when it's so much more awesome than that.

    And if ya'll are going gay for people, then at least do it for someone that also makes absurdly pretty music, like Sufjan Stevens. I get the feeling brad pitt is sort of an ass.

    The only other man I felt "going gay for" was a server at Denny's over by my old house. He winked at me while I was ordering and I almost dumped my girlfriend sitting next to me.

    I'm bored with one night stands. My life has been made up of those and i'm 19. It's kind of frustrating but at the same time rewarding/relaxing. I'm just up for a change but I doubt my misogyny would allow for it.

    Exactly. I mean come on people, blowjobs are pretty awesome.

    EDIT: Also imagine being jerked off by someone who actually knows how feeling in the penis works, as opposed to a woman.

    Despite popular opinion, men are not necessarily any better at giving head or handjobs than women.
    In my limited experience, anyway.

    Pheremones are generally regarded as having next to nothing to do with human sexual attraction. There may be interesting parallels, but we have an entirely different sexual cycle than most mammals. If we went into heat or something, then this would make more sense.

    I think the major thing you lose online, speaking as a person in a long distance relationship, is body language. It's not impossible, but it is far more difficult to tell what someone is feeling when you're speaking to them through text rather than face-to-face.

    I, for one, would rather grope and make-out. The hand-job I can take care of myself later if that's as far as things are going to go anyway, the parts that require another person take priority at that point.
