27 M here. Ever since I was a pre teen and even before, my friends were always guys and we all played sports together, hanged out and had sleepovers, played video games, etc. I kinda realized I was gay when some of my friends and I wrestled together and I kept getting hard.
I’m super straight presenting and when people find out that im gay, they’re completely shocked. Fast forward to today, I ended up in the raving scene, and almost all my super close friends are straight men still.
Here’s the part where my question comes in: I hang out a lot with some of my straight friends, to the point that I have a couple of them that will always try and cuddle with me on their own volition. For example, one of them would invite me over all the time and always ask to lie down together on his bed where he just wants to hold me for a while.
My other straight friends treat me like I’m fully straight, they’ll always smack my butt playfully or hold my hand, or if we’re drunk, they’ll kiss me or something that’s pretty gay lol. My friends would literally stand next to me in the bathroom urinals and peek over and make a comment about my dick, which I typically just reciprocate their behavior.
A lot of them that are comfortable with me would share a bed when we go on trips together, and they would always initiate cuddling, or like putting their head on my lap… stuff like that. I really like it and it always makes me feel super warm and fuzzy inside.
Question is, I’ve felt super desensitized towards male attention because I’ve been able to restrain myself from being horny around my straight friends, that I feel like my brain has just been rewired to treat a lot of guys just platonically. I haven’t felt like I’ve been able to share the same amount to love and feelings that I have for my close friends to potential love interests/dates… I always feel that my straight friends who cuddle with me and make me feel super happy are much better to be around and it’s made me stop seeking for physical affection from guys who are actually into guys lmao
I’m not too sure how to proceed at this point with a potential love interest when I feel that I get what I want from them. Any ideas or thoughts?
