I get where you're coming from. First glance at a woman; hey, what's not to like? I could quite get to like moist, red, pouty lips. Silky, smooth skin. Curvy, gorgeous hips. Ripe, bouncy breasts. It seemed so beautiful and feminine and...well, perfect.
Then I encountered my first vagina, and hit the earth with a thud.
I admired women for their almost artificial perfection. But a vagina reminds you: woman is animal.
A few other gay friends who tried to go straight could find parts of women's bodies enchanting, too. Especially breasts. We get the hang of breasts. Easy to understand: nice, playful, gentle, soft, cuddly, funny, cute, innocent.
But downstairs...that's spooky.
Maybe it's because most gay men hold pleasant memories of breasts as an infant. They probably had only one encounter with a vagina, though--a traumatic one, going in the wrong direction. (Well, the wrong direction half the time, anyway). It could really put a fellow off them for good.
