Sexual Orientation

I am straight 67 years old just trying to get something back in my life to help me see if I can start getting erections an ejaculation

@karvec1959, I am actively bi-sexual since puberty but have never been into another than heterosexual relationship although there was some romanticizing about both genders at school too. As a shy guy I kept my virginity until my mid twenties respectively until my early thirties.
@photo19, I recommend: Stick to it! Still in the mid fifties I already noticed a slight decrease of sexual desire since about ten years now. With re-wiring I'm back to the horniness of my teenage years with rock hard erections beginning wiith my daily morning wood and spontaneous erections all through the day whenever there is time and space even when sitting at the office desk or driving by car PLUS(!) having multiple orgasms every day and tremendous super-Os in hours lasting sessions with or without Aneros. I believe it will happen to you too and I wish you success!

This has been a question that has been danced around a lot but I'm not sure it's ever just been asked outright.

Did you miss seeing these polls? https://community.aneros.com/community/community-polls/3029-male-sexual-orientation-here , https://community.aneros.com/community/community-polls/8907-sex-and-sexual-orientation-poll-revamped , https://community.aneros.com/community/community-polls/4037-straight-to-curious-poll

Yup I guess I did ....sorry

Straight, maybe a little bi curious. Have discussed getting together with buddy for massage and mutual masturbation but that was going to be the limit...

None of the above categories offered above apply to me. So I cannot "vote".
"Straight" means heterosexual, with no substantial same-sex attractions.
"Gay" means homosexual, with no substantial opposite-sex attractions.
"Actively bisexual" means recent actual sexual activity with both genders.
And "Bi-Curious" means predominantly heterosexual, with some same-sex attractions, but no same-sex activity (yet.)

Straight, but I have had some attraction to men in fantasies. I really don't think it would ever carry over into real life, though.

90% Gay. I used to be straight until just before teens, then bi until late 30's and from then increasing in percent gay every year.

If people ask my sexuality it is easier to say that I am gay.

I was married for 12 years, then spent 12 years single, now I have a partner for the last 4 months.

None of the above categories offered above apply to me. So I cannot "vote".

Most people I know never believe me when this topic is discussed, even going way back to High School.

I believe the gentlemens terms for it is "chaste".

Gay man that is experiencing some prostate issues and sexual repression

Bisexual since i can remember. Never been as a bottom in sex, but discovering new sensations with aneros.

I guess I'd be some variant of bi-curious. My general orientation is squarely towards women, and I am and intend to be faithful to my wife. But, I do confess to having some purely erotic [as opposed to relationship type] attraction to men. Its a fantasy thing. In reality I love anal stimulation from either toys or my wife's gloved finger / fingers. Perhaps if I could roll back time to before I met my wife I might have experimented, but from a safety perspective good that I didn't. In my younger years I suffered from some mild homophobia but that has changed. I have met over the years some very wonderful gay and lesbian couples and their good examples of love and dedication too each other have made me understand what it is truly all about and changed my perspective. It is good from both a personal and a societal point of view for couples to 'pair-bond' and be committed to each other - whether gay or straight. Thus I support gay marriage and I am proud to be a member of a mainline Christian denomination that is moving to allow same sex marriage, and currently performs blessings of same sex civil marriages. As for folks that are truly bisexual, I guess you have two options, but be faithful to the person you commit to.

We are both actively bi.

Heterosexual male just into my fifties. I’m Athletic, active and healthy, and my wife is in her thirties. We share a very passionate and exciting sex life, and I started using Aneros to help sustain my youthful vigor in the bedroom (kitchen counter, stairwell, et al). After some concentrated time with the Helix Syn, my orgasms with her are fantastic! My ejaculations are five to six releases each lasting a couple of seconds (long spurts). As I’ve stated before my orgasms with the Syn are moving along and getting to the Super O state. I keep asking myself why I waited so long to get one! I must admit however that I am a closet user and haven’t introduced the topic with my wife yet. I’ve read of several instances where the support from the spouse has been overwhelming but I haven’t crossed that bridge yet.

@KevinT Just go for it. If she really loves you it will take your relationship to a higher level.

The stubborn wife.

You can also approach it from the health perspective as well. Prostate stimulation can be very good for the health of the prostate.

47, straight, married 21 years. I do fantasize about sexual experiences with guys, as it is outside of my 'I know what that feels like' zone, and has an alluring mystery to it

Im 56 years old and straight. Aneros has replaced sex with my wife now As she no longer has an appetite for this

I think it is interesting that the percentage of gay and bisexual responses is considerable higher then the percentages in the general population. I would think than gay men are most accepting of pushing things up their asses than straight men who would be reluctant to do anything that might possibly challenge their image of straight masculinity. I’d be interested in hearing if some of the straight men worried about that before buying an Aneros product.

@simeonh why would you want to make a decision based on other people's opinions or sexual orientation Why not do it for your own good health and pleasures? This logic escapes me.

@GGringo My point was that a heterosexual male might not understand the "good health and pleasure" of an Aneros product and be put off by the thought of inserting something in his anus in the first place because it does not fit into the generally perceived stereotypical notion of masculinity.

Thirteen years into prostate orgasm - male multiple non ejaculatory orgasms. Started at age 54, rewired at age 55. Although bi-curious most of my adult life it was limited to watch male - male porn. Had male fantasies during Aneros and A less sessions from the get go. At age 60 decided to meet up with a male partner who was in his mid 40's. Did everything other than anal penetration. Two years later met another guy in his late 30's more limited activity. A year after that a third guy .... I was the dominant one in the third one we did a lot of things frotted him and made him cum twice in 30 minutes. Still no anal penetration. That was 3 years ago last month. I still crave male sex, but have not met anyone to engage with yet. Looking for a lot more now.

I have never looked it up but I'd be interested to know what percentage of men in general ... not only in the aneros community ... are truly and honestly straight, gay, bisexual, or bi-curious ...with no bullshit. That would answer your question because if only (for example) 30% of men fall into the gay, bisexual or bi-curious category then it's true that more of those men are open to aneros use than the 100% straight men. I say 'no bullshit' because I believe there are far more men who are at least bi-curious and would never admit it, even to themselves.

why would you want to make a decision based on other people's opinions or sexual orientation Why not do it for your own good health and pleasures? This logic escapes me.

I don't think it's so much other peoples opinions that many men base their decision on aneros use...or anything anal for that matter. It's more their own perception of what it means to put anything in there. Unfortunately there are still so many straight men that think that a) being gay is a bad thing and b) putting anything up your bum makes you gay.

These comments reflect an observation that has been on my mind during this last 15 years on line in sex forums. I believe that men have always had the ability (and curiosity) to be intimate with other men as well as with women. That is who I am. This bisexual mindset goes back thousands of years to Greek and Roman times. However in up tight Puritan influenced America, as young boys we were taught that such imaginings were sinful to say nothing of abhorrent. To actually do things with men was even worse. In the last 15 years of my participation in sex forums, sex sites and sex chat rooms as well as one on one deeply personal interchanges with guys on line I have come to recognize that those of us who are open minded and willing, have used the internet to share our thoughts with the reassurance of anonymity. That anonimity protects us from criticism or worse. We can openly express to each other (behind a cloak of a false name) our deepest - darkest and most forbidden desires. For me Aneros and my discovery that my anus is a sex organ rewired me and opened me to sexual self expression and sexual experience that separates me from friends and real life peers. In many respects the anonymous life on line is a more honest one thanks to the internet. I don't care what I am called on line or what my sexual "façade" in society is. I am a self aware sexually vibrant man who loves sex of all types with both genders.

Guess I consider myself straight although did have shared
experiences with a male friend in fifth grade which included mutual masturbation and anal intercourse for about a year. Have done a lot of
solo anal play ever since then with various toys but just a little over a year ago discovered Aneros! A whole new world of prostate and anal pleasure have opened up for me - still solo!
Am a young 72 and married but wife is not interested in anal play and very little sexual activity in general so my Aneros and Aless are welcome passionate activities for me!

gnawdol - I agree 100%.

If male sexuality is determined by what arouses a guy and what his desires are then I'm proudly bisexual . Feels great just saying it and like the above respondent I'm very self aware and sexually open.

... I'm proudly bisexual . Feels great just saying it ...

Affirmative. Your post gave me an erotic kick, thank you! 🙂

My theory is that the proportion of males who are bi-erotic is quite large. They may prefer to pair-bond and enjoy the full range of marital or quasi-marital life with women, but be quite able to enjoy pure sex with a man. While I understand and warmly accept homosexuality and bisexuality, I would consider myself hetero-social but bi-erotic. Possibly even homo-erotic, as my erotic responses are much more powerful with same sex eroticism. My marriage evolved into a sexless one - first due to my wife, which I then accepted, but now years later I actually like.
