RatanaMemberIs it true that lesbians tend to stay together forever, but gay men only meet for sex?

Steph D.ParticipantLesbians do tend to stay in long-term relationships more than gay men, but the men do not tend to be as promiscuous as they are portrayed. They also tend to be monogamous in relationships more than straight men. As the daughter of a gay man (who’s been in a monogamous relationship for 14+ years), I can say that all gay men are not alike in their relations.

James D.MemberAs a gay man who has had lots of gay and lesbian friends, I can tell you this is complete nonsense. Lesbians are no more likely to mate for life than anyone else – in my experience, women do tend to form relationships quickly, but they change their minds quickly, too. Gay men do tend to have more sex partners than straight men (just because they can, considering the relative ease of finding willing partners), but plenty of gay men mate for life (or long periods of time).

JeanParticipantPeople who are in love stay together. People who are horny meet for sex. Sometimes horny people fall in love and stay together. It doesn’t matter if you’re gay, straight, man or woman. Some people are monogamous and others aren’t, and when two monogomous-minded people find each other, they’re more likely to stay together and not fool around. I think the stereotype comes from the idea that women (all women) want to settle down and men (all men) want to have as much sex with as many people as they can. So, you put two women together and you double the settle-down stereotype. Likewise, throw two guys together and you double the it’s-just-for-sex stereotype.

KiwiMemberI’m lesbian and I’m loyal. A friend of mine is gay and he’s loyal, too. I think the problem is related to culture. In my opinion, too many men try to have as much sex as they can in order to prove to themselves that they are men. That’s because they are conditioned by stereotypes, i.e. that a man who does not spend his life trying to go with every single attactive woman he meets is not considered part of ‘the group’ by other men.
Am I totally wrong? That is the reason lots of nice guys who have a heart and look for something more than sex often have problems with their own sexuality: they are scared to be ‘different’ from standard men.

ShaiParticipantWhat you say is nonsense, as I am a lesbian and I know that we tend to change our minds as often as any other woman. If not, we tend to go through females just like water.

Greg21553ParticipantAs with many things, there is a grain of truth to this idea, but only a grain. I’ve been with my current partner for 4 years and we know several other male-male couples who have been together for that long or longer. However, it is more common for gay male relationships (not mine in particular) to be ‘open’ than it is for either heterosexual or lesbian relationships that I’ve observed. While I can’t say that the thought of going outside my relationship for sex never crosses my mind, it’s not high on my list of priorities. I love my partner very much and it is much more important to me that he can trust me than I get my thrills wherever I please.

KristyMemberI’m a lesbian and have met just as many lesbian players as straight male players. Some women just think that’s cool. I don’t get it, but whatever turns them on, I guess……
