Is it normal that i think that acts of affection between two men is icky?

I am totally fine with people being gay, and I'm a really liberal person. I try to accept people regardless of colour, sexuality, reputation etc. and I understand everybody is different.

I'm totally fine with people being gay but the thought of kissing another man or two men kissing (or more) seems strange and icky. I feel horrible about it because I'm not anti gay at all! Why do I find this 'icky' and is it normal to find this 'icky'?

    I don't really want to kiss a man either. I'd have sex with another man sooner than kissing him. I guess that says something about sexuality. Or love. I don't believe I could ever be in love with a man. Only women. But if a man suggested something that ended with an orgasm, I'd consider it. I don't understand why anyone would deny something that feels good.

    I say normal. I'm exactly like you I except just about everyone no matter their past, race, sex. And I'm also not anti gay. One of my best friends is a lesbo. But When I see the same sex kissing and stuff it kinda wigs me out. I guess I except it and I dont judge people for being gay but I still dont find it natural, If that makes any sense.

    Is it just when it's between two men? I know that it's normal to find public displays of affection "icky", but that's usually with everyone, not just men.

    Men are disgusting dirty smelly animals. I'd hate to be gay cos men are downright gross. 2 men kissing is double gross.

    Sorry to my gay mates, I love ya all, but men stink. whereas 2 woman getting it on.... lovely!

    Actually, I can't understand why all woman aren't lesbians. I have very few make friends, actually, none besides at work. Maybe I'm a lesbian stuck in a man's body?

    I kind of understand, in a way. I would much rather prefer to see women kissing, but that is because sexually, most men don't do all that much for me.

    So rather than come on here and say "YOU'RE AN IGNORANT FUCKING BITCH, HOW DARE YOU NOT ENJOY WATCHING MEN TONGUE PUNCH EACH OTHER AND RUB EACH OTHER'S DING-DAWNGS!" I'm just gonna say yeah. I feel the same way. I feel that way when there is a man in the picture period though.

    It's normal, as a straight person, to recoil from public homosexual acts, but we are all adult enough to know that people derive happiness from things we don't enjoy ourselves. I don't think you're weird. You're just honest.

    I guess it makes me feel a bit weird. I find it weird watching people do anything I would hate doing though, and male me snogging a man's face off is one such thing. I kinda feel the same with lesbians, but less strongly. It's just something I would never do, and watching someone else do it makes me feel weird.

    It's the same feeling as watching someone eat a food you find off-putting, like, I don't know, frogs legs or something. I feel a bit out of place watching them eat it, and the more they are seemingly enjoying it the weirder I feel. But then, I can just look in the opposite direction and continue with my life :P S'the same as with watching same-sex PDAs.

    I actually think it looks good. It is why I am stuck on if I am bisexual or not. I would take part in it aswell if I was in the mood, but I don't find sex with men looking like something I'd enjoy.

    I think it looks good. Kind of the opposite with lesbians, though. I don't like that.

    Yes, it's ok. Were are allowed to find things we don't take part in as 'icky'. Same goes with breast feeding. Some people find it icky, but we accept it.

    your justification is respectable, you simply don't like it. unlike religious fools who hate it because they're told to, you simply think its gross. kudos to you. just don't let it become judgement or hate.

    I find any public displays of affection a bit disturbing. Actually, irritating. Regardless of the sex, race, age and any other factor you might think of.

    But, i voted "not normal" because it seems weird to me that you specifically concentrated your question on men.

      I'm not homophobic, but 2 woman kissing is downright hot. 2 men, yuk!

        Personal perspective, I guess. I find much more grace in same-sex male couples than any female could ever possess. And lesbians scare me, but that's off topic, lol. You have your opinion, I have mine.

          My previous GF was really turned on by girls kissing. Current GF thinks it gross same I feel 2 men is yuk. Its not an opinion more a feeling. Ah, maybe Im suppressing homosexual desires. I am sorry to offend gay folk. In Thai and Lao, being gay doesn't carry any stigma and is considered very normal.
