Probably won’t get too many comments on this one…since you put the warning on it that the article is 7 pages long…..
So now we know that there are documented physical differences between straight and gay men…..what does this tell us about bisexual men?
I am glad to see that gay men have smaller penis’ and that their ring finger is longer than their index finger…
Now someone needs to do a scientific study of neck sizes as I bet straight men have stronger neck muscles from straining against the leashes on their necks…..
Then we can also study how easy they are to train…rollover, beg, that kind of stuff…
So, when do we get rewarded for ready a seven page article…

Hi Silom,
Thanks for the article. Very thought-provoking. BTW Tao, the research actually shows that gay men have penises that are thicker and longer than their straight counterparts, something that I’m sure many regular readers of this blog will volunteer to personally validate for themselves. There are so many societal “taboos” surrounding sexuality of all kinds that any unbiased study without a “hidden agenda” (Let’s find out what is “wrong” so we can “cure” them) is welcome. The conclusion that many are born gay so that they can take care of their mother must be a very tempting thesis in LOS where many (if not most) young men for hire (I don’t care for the term “moneyboy” it suggests someone constructed out of bills and coins instead of flesh and blood) make it very clear that the reason for their requests for financial support are because they have either dependent parents, siblings, farms, or buffalo—but mother ranks highest on the scale of need for money.
Finally, I think the writer’s conclusion that in order to truly understand what makes PLU different is, fundamentally, a matter of “the soul.”
Thanks again Silom.
All the best,

Let truth be told, TAO!
The article mentions that gay men’s assets are BIGGER not smaller than those of the rest.

Good prospect: Thank you. Flattery helps. I am looking for the file. I hope I have it backed up somewhere.

“The article mentions that gay men’s assets are BIGGER not smaller than those of the rest.”
Actually it says that we “self-report” our penises to be larger.
So it may just be that gay guys are better exaggerators.

Hi Silom:
Did I push the wrong button? I sent a comment about “The Science of Gaydar” but it seems to have gotten lost. Thanks again for linking to it.
all the best

Hi Jason
Your comment was among the 1895 caught in the spam filter. Sorry about that. I was able to find it by searching for “Jason” and I fished it out.

Hi silom,
Again, can I get the answer to my previous question. “my boyfriend”ended on page 24 by your boy coming back to get his stuff and u slamming the door on him. Since u still have him, what happened after page 24,,,u don’t want to write more or I am missing something here. How did u reconcile with him after what happened at the end of “my boyfriend” on page 24

Hi good prospects: it is a long story…. I will look for the rest of it, which is somewhere in my old computer.

Funny, I never noticed this before but my index finger is shorter than my ring finger and suddenly I have an appetite for some clams.
