I agree with you though. I feel like we (some of us in the LGBT community - myself included) fantasize too much with straight guys to a point that we idolize them, at least to a certain degree.
Mmhmmm.

Well I do, for some reason. It's just not hot at all. Amateur 4 life
ugh, I hate that "gay lifestyle" bullshit
What lifestyle??? We do the same stuff as you
The only difference is we have dicks and we happen to like other people's
Not every gay person likes dicks though...
There are gay women too. Not every gay person is male.

I'm pretty sure a lot of gay women have dicks somewhere in the house.

That's what I mean. And you just know he added the "I love gay people" so his basic ass wouldn't get dragged to hell and back on Tumblr.
I need boots. Anyone have suggestions? Something that I could actually wear to work, since my dress shoes are too cold for this weather. 
Oh, sure. But because of how music is used in their culture, they interpret even music that is meant to induce sadness or anxiety as joyful, which is pretty interesting. Oftentimes when I watch horror I find the emotion communicated by the music far more distressing than what's actually happening.

My lesbian friend asked me about cleaning up for anal sex. I was kinda like TMI. I really don't need to know you wanna go for a ride on some strap-on.

Honestly, when I got shouted at in Primary School for putting 'Witch Doctor' in the column of 'what do you want to be when you grow up', I had no idea why. I still don't.
Best show is best show.
... Psst. Any more people like that straight husk vessel, but less... Uhm, straight?
I'm sorry Latch, I misread your post. I see your point and I agree.
Cut me some slack y'all

Wow. Both scenarios are the same thing. That is very disturbing.
73 men doesn't feel like big enough of a sample. Still, these results are very disturbing.

That is disturbing. However, is 73 enough people for a sample?
It's not big enough to say anything about the larger population even at that college, no. It actually reminds me of Neil Malamuth's research from the 1980s that I've posted about before, where 16 to 20 percent of respondents would commit "rape" if they could be certain of getting away with it, but 36 to 44 percent if it was worded as "force a woman to have sex."
How do you get "31.7%" of 73 men, by the way? That's 23.141 men.

I have zero problem with straight guys doing porn if they're into it. I don't see how it's comparable to people with a "love the sinner, hate the sin" type attitude.

Ha, appreciate it. I can't say I wouldn't mind knowing anyways since I could probably use some ideas on how to combat my own stress and anxiety.
Also, as for the bolded: whaaaaaaaat? Gato, you're killing me.
It's such a dumb fun movie! You really should watch it. I'm almost tempted to suggest a viewing party, haha.It's just so damn happy!

I think he's saying there's a bit of disconnect when you have lots of gay sex and insist you're straight. Much like you insist you love gays but yet say you don't agree with them even being gay people.
I'm convinced for some dudes proximity is the only thing that matters. Like, you'd prefer pepsi (women) but you only have coke (dudes) so you make do. I'd personally still consider those guys straight.
As an aside, Zeb Atlas is the only porn star who I know by name because Jesus Christ.

I agree. I don't think they're fooling themselves or anything. Just like those guys on that TV special "My Husband's Not Gay". They only have a relationship with the women in their lives, but that's not their predominant attraction they most identify with as gays.
That said, I just think it's a turnoff if one of the people in the equation is not into it. I think that's why I never get crushes on straight guys.
They rounded down 31.739130434% to 31.7?

Thanks! Corrected it above.Really? None at all? Don't worry i's not a criticism or something like that, I'm just always kinda curious about that because I thought music was supposed to be that universal language that speaks to everyone.
I know terrisus doesn't like music either (among other things).
(It's Deux Jours, Une Nuit by the way
Anyway, this is somewhat a complex question as it's quite broad assuming you want more than a "Yes and yes". Regarding the 'universal language aspect', I would very much disagree, and fall on the side that mathematics is the only truly universal language, but this isn't really the primary point of interest so I'll move onto the more personal aspect.
'None at all' is somewhat of a loaded phrase given how omnipresent music is. I can have an appreciation for how cleverly something is composed (Hozier's "Take me to Church" a fine example), how it contributes to a scene (as film and television shows are something I very much enjoy; this is obviously a very important aspect in analysis and understanding), and liking music (or its absence) in the context of its presentation (see the shower scene in Psycho which was commented upon in Mumei's link, or a particular scene in Whiplash), but in terms of liking music as I interpret most would understand it, as its own medium, and purposely seeking out or listening to songs which you enjoy, or having some form of enthusiasm when you learn it's going to play, then I merely have an apathy towards it; at best I would view it as something to drown out noise, at worst I would view it merely as noise (I suppose both best and worst are one and the same however, merely framed differently). I don't turn on the radio (indeed, at the moment I don't actually have one), I would never listen to music on my iPod (lecture notes are all I've saved on it)/iPhone (lecture notes and Serial are all I've saved on it; I only listen to lecture notes while studying the notes and Serial I've finished) at any time, and I would never search music on my laptop. In isolation, I just don't really have any interest in listening to it at all as I would merely consider it as noise. Similarly, on nights out, while I would 'dance' (terribly I must admit; why I dance may be a point of curiosity so a few reasons; the first is that when I'm drunk I get extremely hyper, the second is that I'd rather dance with friends than sit alone drunk when I'm after paying money to go out with them and it's easier to fortify friendships by actually being with friends, and the third is that I can at least talk to them while dancing) with friends to music, I don't care in the slightest what track is playing which seems in contrast to most. In any day, the only activities where I'd have any exposure to music would be watching something or in a nightclub/pre-drinking. If I'm not doing either of those things I won't have any background noise, and I'm much more content with that than having something playing, be I running, cooking, cleaning, or simply browsing the internet.
As mentioned, the question is somewhat broad so I'm not really sure if that's the sort of response you want, or if you want something more directly pointed at a particular aspect, but I hope it helps clarify regardless.
I think the important point of the article is that, using the analogy of music being a language, is that if it were truly 'universal', everybody would interpret it the same (or in a similar manner). Because certain groups interpret a track completely differently, the meaning that we impart upon a track must have some form of cultural basis, rather than it being 'universal' (e.g. a 'sad' track isn't universally interpreted as a 'sad' track). The Pygmies may may speak a language, but the language they speak is different to the language that others speak.
(I don't like the analogy of it being a language but I'll run with it).
Regarding it being everywhere, and not liking in spite of it being exposed to it, that really depends upon the individual. If I take three days of activities (two somewhat typical, one a 'best case' scenario for being exposed to music) that would be composed of typical activities (for me personally, everyone is different obviously which is part of the point that I'm trying to make; it should all be noted that this isn't a list of activities done chronologically, just activities that would occur at some point during the day).
First day - No exposure to music out of the day (which we'll say is roughly sixteen to twenty hours depending on how much I sleep).
Making and eating breakfast in the morning
Going to lectures (can be removed, it just means more time spent elsewhere or other activities from other days being inserted here)
Swimming
Cooking
Cleaning
Studying
Meeting up with friends
Browsing the internet
Sleeping.
Second day - Exposure to music: About two hours and fifty minutes (give or take an extra thirty depending on the movie's length) out of the day (which we'll say is roughly sixteen to twenty hours depending on how much I sleep).
Making and eating breakfast
Browsing the internet.
Running
Swimming
Cooking
Cleaning
Movie
TV Show episode
Sleeping
Third day - Nine hours exposure to music (note that this is pretty much an 'at the most' figure. Nightclubs here typically open at ten and close at 3am. I'm assuming that my friends an I are there from ten until closing: a more realistic figure is either 10:30pm to either 2am, 2:30am, or in rare cases 3am. In addition, it is highly unlikely I would ever watch two movies in a day and go out in the same day, it's far more likely I would go swimming instead of one or both movies. In addition, I usually go out week days that aren't Friday, so this type of day could only occur on breaks such as for Christmas or in Summer [and if it was summer I wouldn't be going out as I wouldn't be in Dublin]) out of the day (which we'll say is roughly sixteen to twenty hours depending on how much I sleep).

So in most cases, I've only a small exposure to music relative to the rest of the day which would largely be 'situational noise' (phrased badly, but things such as people splashing in a pool, a clock ticking, the hum of electronic equipment, the wind, leaves fluttering, cars outside, people walking/talking, roommates shuffling on the couch or walking through the hallways, etc.) or 'silence'.
Even ignoring that, I don't think exposure to something necessitates some form of positive response to it. To go with rather extreme examples, if one was to listen to white noise for twenty hours everyday for years I don't think they would inherently enjoy the white noise, they may either dislike it, become able to bare it, or possibly enjoy it; or if one were to sit in a seat they found uncomfortable for long durations, while they may be able to bare it, or develop an apathy towards it, I don't think there's any certainty that they would suddenly find it comfortable (I should emphasise once again at this stage that I hate analogies, I just think the position that exposure would necessitate a gradual appreciation to be flawed, that this is best highlighted via extremes [even then I didn't go that extreme; I was considering 'water boarding' as an example but that's so preposterous that it seems like an even worse analogy, even if the 'prolonged expose to pain may lead to coping with it better but not inherently enjoying it' remains the same]). I should also emphasise that I, personally (I cannot speak for Terrisus) have an apathy towards it, I don't like or dislike it, I just view it as noise, and if put in a room with a source of music where I am isolated, I'd rather turn it off than leave it on.
It's probably just worth noting that I am very sensitive to noises though and can't really filter out sounds so this may be a significant factor (to clarify, my hearing isn't amazing or anything, it's actually pretty bad, but small noises that can be ordinarily heard in silence, such as a clock ticking, a drain dripping or somebody unzipping a coat, but to most would be 'drowned out' by things such as a group of people talking, do not tend to be 'drowned out' to me; I've done a really bad job of describing that but I don't want to spend much longer making this post in case my browser crashes).

I don't really think that correlates though. Unless the gay for pay dude is espousing some sort of "I'll let you suck me off but I won't like it" type attitude in real life, then he's just another performer to me. Some of my fav pornstars are gay for pay, and if they're down to really get into it and give a good show, then to them I say bravo.
I was confused by the percentage, too :s But still, I'm glad you posted the article because even for such a small sample those numbers are disturbing.
