I think this may have to do with the places in which you’re meeting gay men. While it was once true that most gay friendships began sexually and then developed into something platonic, times have changed. As gay men meet in non-sexual settings such as volunteer work, interest groups, activist groups, etc., many gay men are forming friendships that are not based on sexual attraction, but rather on mutual interests. Personally, I feel it’s important to avoid limiting friendships based on sexual orientation. Many of my best friends are straight, but I also have a number of gay friends whom I’ve met at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center. I also haven’t had much luck in turning former sexual partners in to friends, but I know this is common for many gay men. I’d encourage you to do your best to meet gay men in settings that are not sexually charged. Men who limit themselves to the bars can find it difficult to form lasting friendships. Good luck!
