For the Jury

[eggwards]

Maybe it's bear-run mentality. It's gotten into my brain in such a short amount of time.

Maybe there's just something to the fact that our lives aren't all about sex, but yet we're identified by our attraction more than other people.
Openness leads to the fact that attraction is there, but yet acting on it is completely up to you. You have the power.

Is it wrong that I might work sexual attraction into a model of friendship? Then again, I might not.

I find myself in the awkward spot of not necessarily defining a person by my attraction to them, but certainly creating a first impression that way. How do they look? Does that first glance cause a stirring somewhere lower? Am I a lower person for starting at that base level?

Will you judge me lower for starting there?

Of course not, that would be pretty hypocritical of me, and most people I'd think. Most people are more likely to talk to and get to know someone whom they find attractive... Hell, it's the whole principle for marketing/advertising. The key is to not stop at that level and find out if they interest you as a person, otherwise it'd just be shallow.

True, true...but what if you might wish to take that to a new level? I think that gay men are more open to that than straight society might, and perhaps that's what scares some.
