He seems to be ignoring the question.
Why is his openness for love only for women?
Is Steve also opened to exploring something with a man?
(or is that too hard for him to fathom yet?)
Sexual orientation is such a limitation. How can you explore unconditional love with everyone, when it's only conditional for other men? because you think you're straight?
If you want to be honest & opened and in oneness, you have to include men too. I'm not saying he should have sex with men, but bonding with men in a spiritual manner would be definitely a good thing. Bromance!
Being a gay man, it's not all about sex, despite what the media likes to portray. I have even known some gay couples who have never had sex with each other, but their bond can't be denied.
Also what about age?
Why should we put limitations on age? Love is oneness, and for all. I've seen 60yo men date 25yo women, but they're constantly judged by others. Makes you think about how much programming we have been fed since birth. Let people live, and be happy!
One of my gay friends when he was 18 had sexual relations with a 15yo for a few months, until the younger boy's parents found out, and now he has a record. Quite ridiculous I'd say considering their age isn't too far off, and he had the younger boy's consent, but it didn't matter.
We limit ourselves to much all for the illusion of protection/security/safety.

Someone in the other thread brought this up. Your posts seem to imply that you can only have deep, meaningful connections with women.
The logic goes something like this:
- I want to experience more love, more deep connection.
- I have too much love for one person, I can not fully express all of the love I feel capable of without overwhelming my partner.
- When I connect emotionally, the physical connection - via sex - is the natural outcome
- I can't imagine having a deep emotional connection without the physical, which is why I'm interesting in experimenting with other relationships...)
That's what I read (paraphrased, of course!).
If the natural result, for you, of close connection is sex... where does that leave you with relationships with other men? Do you believe it's possible to have deep, meaningful, emotionally connected relationships with other men?
And, I'm curious if others see a similar dynamic in their own lives? My rational side believes we should be able to have these deep connections with anyone, no sex necessary - but honestly, I think for the most part my most meaningful relationships have been with males (and I'm female). |
