What is the actual meaning of gay. Is it fancying men (if your a man) and vice versa for women, or is it something else?

robinlovescena agony aunt my boyfriend and i have this discussion all of the time. Gay means that one of a sex has attraction for the same sex. Some people think that gay is only meant for guys and girls are lesbian. well gay is an adjective. it describes something. in this case... it is describing people. a females word for being gay is lesbian. you are a lesbian if you are a girl and you like girls as well. the word for guys is that you are a queer. queer meaning that if you a guy... you like guys. lesbian and queer are example of nouns... which is person, place, or thing

good luck

Wendyg agony auntNo it doesnt mean your gay it just means your curious. There are more men that care to admit that they have tasted thier own semen out of curiosity. Lots of hetrosexual men also like there anus played with during sex, during foreplay or whilst having a blow job. Its all about taste and what turns you on and what you enjoy doing. You can like these things and be with a woman fancy women and not be gay, its just preference we all like different things. But if you happen to fancy men and like it then thats also just your own preference.

Thanks willywombat, the reason why i asked is because I did 2 things that may appear homosexual on my own (one was I tasted a bit of my own semen, the other was i put my finger up where the sun don't shine) so thats why i asked. Does that mean I'm gay?
