How can a gay man attract a straight man
Why do some straight men hold sex with other men?
According to nationally-representative surveys in the Together States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men.
In the recent book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America released today, UBC sociologist Dr. Tony Silva argues that these men – many of whom enjoy hunting, fishing and shooting guns – are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.
After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva found that they enjoy a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly identifying with straight culture.

I recently finished reading Dr. Robert Garfield’s terrific recent book, Breaking the Male Code: Unlocking the Dominance of Friendship, and last week participated in a joint interview with him by Dr. Dan Gottlieb on WHYY (National Widespread Radio) in Philadelphia. This all got me thinking about my own friendships and those of my gay male clients. The bonds between gay men and straight women own been written about and featured in popular media (i.e. Sex in the City, Will and Grace), though a lot less has been said about how gay and direct men recognize and negotiate the distinct challenges, complications, and rewards of their friendships.
