About gay male sexuality
Many men report that they had experiences with people of the same sex when they were young. This is often a normal part of exploring their sexuality. Men who travel on to describe themselves as ‘same-sex attracted’ or ‘gay’ have a tough physical and emotional attraction to men that they don’t usually feel for women.
Being a gay bloke is natural
There is a lot of pressure from society for young men to be heterosexual or ‘straight’. This can often cause feelings of isolation for young men who are gay and form them scared to performance their sexuality.
It’s essential to remember:
- There are male lover men in every society and every country.
- Being same-sex attracted is just a establish of sexuality.
Why some men are gay
There is no real explanation as to why some men are gay and others are not. Although there is no right or incorrect answer to the scrutinize, a possible reason suggested by researchers is that we are born with our sexual orientation.

It’s not truths, it’s a video game. In reality, homosexuals were treated fairly well within the Church. They made up a very sizeable portion of the clergy, if not a majority. That’s where homosexuals went in those days - and to a just extent still do.
As far as quality of life went, it was preferable to being a serf. Many monasteries were quite wealthy, as they often built profitable industries to support their holdings. One of the industries they often involved themselves in was mining iron and smelting steel. Due to their teaching, they were able to refine production on both fronts with new machinery and technology - enough to supply Europe with enough steel of proper quality to forge plate armor and high quality weapons. Strict poverty vows, in general, were a myth, and they were generally well provided for. Otherwise, it was like spending your being at a university. A rather strict university perhaps, but plenty of educational opportunities.
AsI think back on the past 24 years of providing couples counseling for gay male relationships, I sometimes get asked what the differences are that I see (in general) in gay male relationships that are (again, in general), different from vertical relationships.
I offer these thoughts to both available and coupled gay men, based on my perspective of what I’ve seen through the years. My experiences and observations as a gay men’s specialist psychotherapist might differ from other gay men, and even other gay male therapists, and we always have to be mindful of not indulging in unfair assumptions, stereotypes, or even prejudices. But since making a relationship perform (which I define, in part, as the relationship’s level of satisfaction for each partner and in its overall longevity and subjective “quality” for each partner) is at least in part based on a skills-building process, skills that I believe are required for a lgbtq+ male relationship to both endure (quantity) and thrive (quality). These are the issues that come up repeatedly in couples counseling sessions:
