In Reply to: Here's the question posted by Straight guy on June 03, 2004 at 21:14:53:

Good read, straight but not narrow guy. I see sexuality in general not as a deviancy, but as an orientation, like being right or left handed, or ambidextrous.
Sex CRIMES occur throughout the orientation spectrum. Straights certainly have their huge share, percentage wise, of deviancies.
When the naked jacuzzi thing occurred, it would be a normal thing for two naked people that one might have feelings stirred about the other. A leg rub is like a "Hey, are you interested?"but even before the rub, the guy had to be pretty close, and if there was no clearly readable response, then there would be further pursuit until it was clear. Perhaps the unintentional signals JRO gave made the person who rubbed up against him wonder whether he was gay or not and possibly interested?
Usually, if someone were not attracted they would stop the course of action at the initiation point. Why was JRO naked in a jacuzzi with a gay man? Could there have been a curiosity that he stopped because it is against what he has been taught and incorporated as correct values?
In any case, there is no lack of "animal kings and animal queens" reproducing in the world today, so gayness is not threat to the population. In fact, it is an asset in today's world of over-populating the world. Perhaps it is God's plan, eh? That the more the population expands and resources shrink, the more gays will pop up in the hetero to gay ratio?
Or could it be that there was some feeling of being flattered at the person's attraction to him, but without any return interest because of his straightness? Or could it have been an awkward situation where (JRO) felt uncomfortable with telling the person where to get off for worry of coming across as homophobic or just because of being surprized at the advance?
All of that points to normal behavior and reactions.
When a person is given a clear boundary and keeps crossing it, then they are acting as a predator or stalker and could be promptly and clearly TOLD to stop and slapped with a restraining order.
