Olive Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 And a lot of men think that "doing" a Tranny isn't gay Perhaps it's to cover people in the sex industry, who wouldn't class themselves as gay but have sex with men for mondy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S10mainly Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Perhaps it's to cover people in the sex industry, who wouldn't class themselves as gay but have sex with men for mondy? Naa its just to cover up their bi-ness, that they seem to be ashamed of for some reason... I used to work with a out n out gay bloke who used to spend half his time telling me I was bi but just didnt realise it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Perhaps it's to cover people in the sex industry, who wouldn't class themselves as gay but have sex with men for mondy? Sex only on Monday? Another neologism is 'the sex industry' (and 'sex worker'). It's just a euphemism for 'prostitution' (and 'prostitute'), isn't it.

mikem8634 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Men who have sex with men (abbreviated as MSM, also known as males who have sex with males) are male persons who engage in sexual activity with members of the same sex, regardless of how they identify themselves; many men choose not to (or cannot for other reasons) accept sexual identities of homosexual or bisexual.[1] The term was created in the 1990s by epidemiologists in order to study the spread of disease among men who have sex with men, regardless of identity.[1] MSM is often used in medical literature and social research to describe such men as a group for research studies without considering issues of self-identification. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_who_have_sex_with_men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a euphemism for 'prostitution' (and 'prostitute'), isn't it. Only in part - the term has more scope than that. The sex industry consists of businesses which either directly or indirectly provide sex-related products and services or adult entertainment. The sex industry provides adult sex-related products and services such as prostitution, call girls, adult movie theaters, pornography, sex shops, strip clubs, sex-oriented men's magazines, sex movies, sex channels for television and pre-paid sex movies for on demand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, its to cover men who think that trannys are not really "men"...therefore it doesnt count as gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps 'MSMBDATLMSM' would be appropriate? ('men who have sex with men but don't accept the label of men who have sex with men'). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frededwards Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 What about "latent homosexual"? That's the term that used to be used, and everyone knew what it meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps 'MSMBDATLMSM' would be appropriate? ('men who have sex with men but don't accept the label of men who have sex with men'). No idea to be honest. I was just offering the definition I found when I looked it up as I, like most it seems, hadn't heard it before. I would guess it's a term only intended for scientific purposes to avoid any ambiguity around how subjects might identify themselves. Just a scientific attempt to take people's perception of themselves out of the equation. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
