I don't really think that female relative fluidity with sexuality has to do with much other then social factors. Nobody thinks it's hot when two guys get it on, but many men want to have 2 women at once. Sexual interaction between two women isn't shunned as sexual interactions between two men. Hell, men aren't even allowed to hug other men without being seen as fucked up.

Gay people and Bis do, when the guys are hot.

Which makes me wonder: do gay people consider the same men hot that women do? Would a gay man get an erection over Orlando Bloom, or Johny Depp, or whoever the girls fancy?

Our tastes and preferences are a diverse and disparate as we are. Some of the uber butch guys that the other boys oggle make me go "ew", conversely, the boys I think are hot make others go "that's a guy?"

I wouldn't go so far as to say straight women have any consistent concept of male beauty either, really.

Well, there is some general consensus as to what a hot guy is like isn't there? Or isn't a buff bod a natural aphrodisiac?

No, and I'm pretty sure most straight girls would tell you buffness isn't the be all/end all either. Personally, the more muscular the bigger the turn-off, but that's just me. I can't speak for other queer guys- and I really shouldn't even pretend that I know what goes on in a woman's head.

There is more to physical attraction than just the body type. I can be attracted to both moderately buff and skinny guys but cuteness is also a big plus!!

People are attracted to the forbidden, men especially.

Strange: in the ARSE (I love saying that) I've heard people say that Mr. Canary isn't a big turn on unless he's in the hole. That's why women didn't find bj's pleasurable as much as their partners.
