Re: Can’t Complain…

Dan, I’m sure I’m not the only hardcore heterosexual male who finds that poster ugly and unsatisfying. I would even go as far as to say the woman is scary looking, and has alive in her eyes that electric madness which always means one thing: the sex will be difficult. If she were in a room to a door I just opened, I would shut the door immediately and get out of that house, that neighborhood, that city.

What Charles said. I'll blow off a major paper for my girlfriend's come-hither voice, but I'm glad that picture's finally off the top of the Slog. xp

I'm still curious about Savage's initial reaction. Originally, he said he couldn't complain, since straight men have been scandalized in pretty much the same way for the last two years. But when that happens with a straight guy, a lot of people will assume that he's just not totally comfortable with his sexuality -- that is, at least in my experience. For that reason, I thought Savage's reaction was pretty interesting because it suggested the opposite: a gay man not being fully comfortable with his sexuality.

Of course, the problem's with the original assumption, but I'm not sure exactly where. It seems to have some truth to it.

Oh, I'm comfortable with my sexuality. I'm just not comfortable with anyone else's.
