Played totally straight (or not) by the LGBT community in my college. There is actually a map made by a friend of mind connecting the names of everyone who has slept together with lines. It looks like someone scribbled all over a huge sheet of paper. And I can think of at least 10 hook-ups that aren't even on the map, and I'm not even that popular/well-informed/knowledgeable-about-gossip. However, inverted by my gay male best friends and I. We are always complaining about how we're the only queers on campus who want committed, loving, lasting relationships instead of cheap hook-ups. Too bad I'm a woman, they're men, and none of them are eachother's type.

This trope was this my dad's explanation as to why relationships between two males wouldn't work as well. "See, if it were a guy and a girl, the guy would want sex all the time, but the girl would tell him to slow it down. If it were two guys, then the guy would want sex all the time and the other guy would be like, 'Sure!'" I would have said something, but I was pretty sure I wasn't supposed to be part of the conversation.

I played this straight (ahem) for the first six years of my adult life. I am probably still a manwhore by most definitions of the word, but have at least developed ''some'' standards of who to sleep with, and it's never with someone who isn't boyfriend material in some way (though whether or not we actually become boyfriends is a different story).

My Biology professor tried to convince us the average gay male slept with up to 23 partners in a single night. No, I wish I was kidding.

I am glad to read this page, because seriously, I don't know anyone who doesn't embody (no pun intended) this trope. *sigh* Why must I live in a place where nearly every single human is a walking stereotype?

This trope applies to my friend and I....

My run into more than a few people at Pride events certain that this ''should'' be the case -- at least one pair solved the issues of a long-distance relationship this way by going open about it, with the explicit warning that they didn't think it would work for straight couples -- and, other the other side, sees a lot of aversion, too.

One word: Bournemouth.

I'm not gay but... even I get a tad pissed whenever someone in my FAMILY would say "It's a good thing you aren't gay, otherwise I would have to watch my ass around you." There aren't enough walls in the world that could ever wipe out the fail in such a statement. That's not even UnfortunateImplications, they honestly believe that all gays not only rape people, but don't even care if that person is related to them. I apologize to all of you on behalf of my idiotic family members.

A lesbian friend of mine rather fits this in a genderflipped kind of way; she's only seventeen and has a formidable back catalog already, including a guy or two. Her rationale is pretty simple - orgasms are fun - and I've got to say that I admire how freely she enjoys her sexuality in a world where most girls feel the need to treat sex as a solemn, jealous ritual. She has a girl with which she's settling down with at the moment, but this has given her a whole load of new female friends who are either bisexual or curious enough to also want her. These friends are HUGELY desirable; it's going to be interesting to see how resisting works out for her.
