I'm in college and live in a dorm and have recently started masturbating with my roommate. It's a long story and you can find my other thread if you want the details. I'm confused because I don't identify as gay nor do I actually have feelings for my roommate. I just find it more fun (in a bunch of different ways) to masturbate with him there, masturbating at the same time. I've obviously seen his penis a couple times now and I don't really find it to be something I want to look at or touch, nor do I feel any sort of romance of love towards him. He's a friend and that's really it. I'm just asking myself "why do I like this"? Today when we jerked off I took a look at him jerking, but I ended up not getting anything arousing out of watching that and looked back at the straight porn movie we were watching. I just don't know how to feel about this. If a female friend and I did this I'd watch her and I'd "get off" just by doing it with her. That's not the case here, but I do find this more exciting than solo masturbation. I'm not afraid of being gay or bi. If I start wanting sex with him or any other guy I'll be open to trying it, but I really don't feel that way.
it's a guy thing. guys are interested in other guys' junk. doesn't make one gay, doesn't make one straight. just the way it is.
When it comes to sex, having some sort of a partner usually trumps being totally alone. When you come to think about this, sex is a sort of communication. Sure, you can talk to yourself, too. Talking to someone is usually more rewarding, tho. No doubt, some people will always interpret this as being at least, somewhat "gay". If I were in your shoes, I'd completely ignore such comments. You wanted to get your rocks off, and so did your roomie. Nuf said. KD
