Is it normal for a straight guy to want to cuddle with a gay guy?

Ok. So I am gay and I have a best friend who knows I'm gay. Whenever he comes over we watch movies together on my sofa. While we are watching movies he always lays back over my legs and lower torso. He even runs his fingers through my hair and wraps his legs around me when I'm sitting on him. Also, he loves tickling my feet. But he claims he is straight. I have liked my friend for a long time now and I'm confused as to what he is trying to say. Is it normal for a straight guy to do this with a guy he knows is gay?

  • If this guy isn't gay he sure loves teasing you.

    Maybe he's just really needy and because he knows you're gay he feels comfortable to do this kind of thing with you and not with anyone else.

    I say this because I'm kind of this way I described, I really like to lay down with a friend of mine, with my fingers through his hair, I even want to put my head on his chest but I don't have courage to, and despite of it all I really have no sexual thoughts about him, I just feel really great and comfortable doing this.
    He's not gay as far as I know, which makes my situation a little different of yours, but still could be just a needy guy.

    P.S.: Hope it's written correctly, I'm not American so sorry about any typing mistakes.

    I think he's bi-sexual, not gay. He may lean more towards women and he may not even know his sexuality just yet. Give it time.

    If he was too much of a closet case, then I can't see him doing the things he's so openly doing. Maybe youre a safe space for him to act some of these desires out.

    No, he's flirting with you. He may just be playing with you and trying to see how long you'll let him mess around with you before you say anything.

    Maybe but he could just be affectionate, its not impossible and has actually happened to me in fact I've know about 7 straight guys who've done similar things to me when alone or even in public but are straight as an arrow. For example a buddy of mine likes touching my face, or coming up behind me and putting his arm around me. Another likes cuddling on the floor with me, another won't stop hugging me, and one even kisses my cheek. One friend plays with my hair when its long, and another likes tickling me. He may just love you a lot. Or he could bi curious.

    Either hes leading you on because he likes the attention or hes curious about his sexuality.

    That's not normal for a strait guy unless he's got an extremely childish way if interacting with people. Kids don't make those distinctions.

    He's probably curious. Many people go through a stage of curiosity before they label themselves. If you're interested in him try turning your attentions on him. Just be aware that he may enjoy it at the time, and say alot about how he's strait later.

    Do what feels right to you, as long as it doesn't make him uncomfortable. Remember you're not his dr or psychologist and avoid labeling your friend - that usually just makes people mad.

    Your friend has just evolved - there is a great study on this - how the new generation are less influenced to 'act' macho due to the decrease in homophobia and acceptance of gay culture. I have a best friend who is straight and spoons and cuddles me when we're chillin together - there is a 20 year age gap - he's the younger. As a gay guy it's wonderful to be close to a friend that's straight and have their total trust. We work together and he always wants a hug before we get our separate trains - we often get a few looks but don't care. We just have a really intense close friendship - bromance if you like and he's the best friend I've ever had. Your friend is straight 100%.

    He is likely gay but not comfortable admitting it to you or maybe even himself. You are not likely to be able to change this...

    He is gay and maybe hasn't come to terms with it fully yet. Maybe you should try tickling his feet! See his reaction. Or even better, kiss him! He's sending you all the signals.

  • I think he could be bi/gay. No truly straight man would do that snuggly/cuddly stuff with another guy.

    But I'd tread carefully since it could be innocent but I don't think so.
