This is exactly the stupid attitude I mean. NO- it SHOULDN'T remain private if he's in a committed relationship. That's the whole point of a relationship, trust, right? He doesn't get a free pass because he blew a guy. Sorry. Not in normal land. Not if the relationship isn't open, which I doubt it is if this guy is blowing his friend on the sly.
And don't give me that intense male bonding bullshit. Male bonding isn't inherently stronger than a man and woman loving each other. What his friend did may have been beautiful and loving, but he still needs to be upfront with his girlfriend. He OWES her that. If he wants to break up with her and be with his friend he needs to DO IT. Your army situation was different, but because he wasn't honest, look where he's ended up.
I'm just SICK of the attitude that it's OK to cheat on women with guys because guys have "Special bonds" or whatever. No one gets a free pass- people are people and everyone has emotions, and the OP has to recognize there are more than just two people in this situation (which he may have- I'm not blaming or judging him, and he hasn't given us many more details so far).
There are two separate issues here: your friend's sexuality, and your responsibility in regards to his girlfriend.
Your friend chose to fool around with you, so that calls into question his commitment to his girlfriend. Better that he figure that out now rather than later in the midst of a marriage with children. No one in this forum knows the strength of your three relationships to each other, so we probably shouldn't second guess what is morally required. You'll figure it out.
No, your friend is not necessarily gay. I'm a psychiatrist and have seen all the research on this subject, and surveys consistently show that most men who have sex with men consider themselves straight. In part, that shows the inadequacy of our labels. In reality, most men and women have the capacity to enjoy sex with both genders, but not everyone chooses to explore. Your friend might just be bi-curious, or he might have strong feelings for you (both intimate and sexual), or he might be gay. Maybe you'll find out together, but it's a good idea not to make any assumptions. If you approach him as if he is gay and needs to come out of the closet, you might scare him off. Treat what happened openly and casually, not like a mystery that needs to be sorted out, and let him know you enjoyed it.
Keep in mind that he might also feel ashamed that he serviced you, which in our culture puts him in a more feminine or gay role. It might help if you let him know you'd be happy to return the favor.

Innocentbychoice: Thanks for looking, but that's not my blog. You can find it if you look for Flexuality Test on Google. Glad to know we're colleagues.
Past this whole straight/gay illusion, what's really going on here to me, is that you're saying you want affection and love in addition to sex. Ie you want this guy to be the 'real thing', your boyfriend, so you care that he's gay because that means, he has a chance at returning your heart.
So I guess there's two things you could do here. You could let this go as a blowjob between friends, and not put any pressure on him, or you could sort out your deeper feelings for him, and see if he wants to date- which of course is riskier. The real issue here I think is that you might want this to be more than this is.
The whole key here is to protect your emotions and look after your feelings, and make sure your feelings won't get sabotaged. And so that means discussing things over with him and finding out where you two stand exactly on your feelings for each other. This of course requires maturity and honesty on both parties, and not game-playing.
does your friend know you're gay? or are you just the best friends who flirt with each other, and he happened to blow you? jw..
because if he knows then it should make it easier for you to drop him a text and just ask him what he thinks of you as in does he just wants to experiment, or if he actually has a crush on you. then you can say you don't want to hurt the girls feelings but that you like him. it just depends what you even want: if you honestly think if you have feelings for him that he cant return then you're going to get yourself hurt. if all both of you wanna do is mess with each other then maybe youll get lucky and have a secret relationship.
is he gay? who knows, but obviously he wants you some sort of way, which is more than most guys who secretly crush on their best friends can be sure about
good luck
I tried to stay away from the subject, but he initiated it each time. I asked him about his orientation and he told me he was bi.
He doesn't know that I'm gay...Its driving me crazy that its mostly sex based. Its the best moments when we kiss or just cuddle after sex that I really enjoy
I dont know how to talk to him about it though. I dont understand his feelings at all
