How do you know if your man is gay

5 Ways to Tell If a Man is Gay (Based On Science) There have been a number of scientific research studies conducted that have investigated this very hot topic. Here are some of the findings that speak to how we can decipher an individual’s sexual orientation: 1. Do His Pupils Dilate When He Looks at You? First of all, look for the bedroom eyes. Do you have suspicions that make you question — “Is my husband gay?” Maybe you have a mild alarm bell that rings occasionally or noticed a few signs in his behavior that gave you reasons to worry and question his sexual orientation.

Keep reading for a thorough list of potential signs that your boyfriend might be gay. He’s emotionally detached. Does he seem withdrawn, secretive, or keep you at arms length? There are many reasons why someone might act this way, so this by itself is not a surefire sign that he’s gay. Unless you ask him directly, there's no surefire way to know if your man is gay or bi (and even then, he may not tell you). But some tell-tale signs may make you raise an eyebrow.

1. He Has Predominantly Male Friendships. In this article, we’ll help you break down the signs he might be hiding or suppressing his sexuality, offer some guidance on how to discuss it with him, and cover a few potential next steps in the event that he actually is gay. Posted December 1, Reviewed by Lybi Ma. My longtime friend and colleague Dr. Joe Kort has been treating and writing about gender and sexual orientation issues for nearly three decades.

I am pleased that Joe has written this book, as I have had to deal with these questions in my own practice relatively often, as have many other therapists. I recently spoke with Joe about the book, and I wanted to share a few of his thoughts below. There are two main reasons. Number one is the high incidence of male-female couples entering my office because the woman thinks her man might be gay.

Am I gay?

how to tell if a guy is gay without asking

There are some basic questions that I ask. These are covered in detail in the book. Most gay or bisexual men will say yes. Straight men will say no. They almost never report youthful noticing. Another thing that I look for is homophobia.

I threaten their sense of denial. The straight guys are not like that. The final thing that I ask about is romance. Who does the man want to go to dinner and a show with, who does he want to spend the holidays with, who does he want to wake up next to in the morning? A gay guy wants to do all of that with a man, a bisexual guy might want a man or a woman, and the straight guy wants to only be with a woman in that way.

The internet is doing it. Usually, the wife discovers his history on the computer. Craigslist is where they go. What are the psychological underpinnings for this behavior? It does differ. For straight men, the most common reason is sexual abuse. I call this returning to the scene of the sexual crime. What exactly are you doing?

The second reason is kink. They might be into BDSM or they might be into power exchange, and they think they can only find that with a man. Or they might be into cuckolding, where two men and a woman are engaged in sexual play but one man is submissive and the other guy is dominant and the submissive guy gets the dominant guy hard. But the gay man cares. This can be tough for the woman to understand because male and female sexuality is so different.

Another factor is father hunger.
