Two of my guy friends have been in a relationship for three years (let's call them Ben* and John*). At first they kept their relationship hidden because we're from quite a small town but eventually word spread and now they don't flaunt it but won't deny it if they're asked.
Now, Ben struggled with his sexuality for a while but eventually came out and now openly admits to being gay. John, however, claims that not only is he not gay, he's not bisexual either. He regularly comments on the appearance of girls and flirts with them but I've never seen him seem even remotely interested in other guys. To this day, after three years, he claims that he's straight but Ben is the exception.
So, the question is, do you think that there can be exceptions to your sexual orientation? Can you be homosexual but still be sexually attracted to certain women or vice versa? Or, conversely, do you think that John is just in denial about his sexuality and tries to convince other people (and himself) that he's straight?
