Sexual orientation doesn't matter to me at all with bonding with others. There are so many ways that people can connect with one another. When the clothing comes off with me, so do all barriers. When barriers are gone, we can all relax and be open and honest in a non judgmental arena. With that openness comes natural conversation and bonding begins.

Couldn't agree more: barriers are as much mental as physical eg textile. Bonding aka friendship begins with an Open non judgemental attitude, trust, respect both in behaviour as much as words.

Hear hear! Well said everyone. I never understand why some people are so obsessed with labels. Mates are mates, no matter what their sexuality, or state of dress or undress. I have naked mates across the full spectrum of male sexuality. :-)

Couldn't agree more river man. Gay, str8, bi, what does it matter? As long as the bond is truthful, honest and agreeable to all parties...what the hell does it matter? I have str8, bi, and gay friends and have bonded with all if them. The bonding is diff with each, that's what makes it special.

This forum seems to have the least concern with labels of any Im on and that's great. Prefixed sexuality is a modern invention. Men have always been homosocial. We need each other and we are sexual. Two separate issues.
