Are Homosexuals attracted to themselves?

[tippy2k2]

It had to be done...(curse you Vrach for a partial ninja!)

I'm also guessing that most reactions of this question will be the same as Turks (guy on left)

 

[Jack Nevins]

The only way I can maintain faith in humanity is to view this as a troll. So I will..

 

[mitchell271]

No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

[Clive Howlitzer]

Ow...ow. My brain, it is hurting. Please, someone help! This has to be a troll. It has to be!

 

[Fiad]

No, coming from a Bisexual guy. I do not find myself sexually attracted to myself. Even though I find people similar in build to me attractive, I do not find myself sexually attractive.

 

[smearyllama]

Spoiler

I think this may be somewhat relevant.

OT: Well, uh.... I mean, I'm not gay, but I guess if I had the option, and I wasn't me, I wouldn't exactly turn up my nose at me.
I guess?

This thread is strange, so very, very strange.

 

[crudus]

Homosexuality is not narcissism. A heterosexual narcissist is attracted to themselves. A homosexual narcissist is attracted to themselves. It isn't the "homosexual" part that makes people attracted to themselves, but the "narcissist" part.

 

[DrgoFx]

I will play Devil's Advocate here: The question is not being judging or immature or anything like that. The thread maker took a lot of guts to ask such a question, and thanks to everyone going "-facepalm-" They probably feel like rubbish.

When a straight guy is not attracted to himself, he wonders if a gay man is attracted to themselves since they are attracted to the same gender. This isn't a lack of sense, or anything. This is a lack of knowledge. A lack of learning. It's the same as if your entire life someone told you...let's say the sun is smaller than the Earth. Well everyone else knows the sun is much larger, and you're in the minority of those who don't know. But that's what you were told, that's what you observed and learned. What you hypothesized. Calling someone an idiot for having a wrong hypothesis is ridiculous. It's like me calling you an idiot for not knowing the 5 millionth digit to Pi.

 

[bluegate]

So, are you philosoraptor incarnate ?

 

[Pandaman1911]

Do homosexuals in general find themselves lusting after their reflection in more than what is simple vanity...

I sure do! I'd do me. I'd do the hell out of me.

 

[sky14kemea]

What?

....WHAT?!?

Who does what even look more like?

I can't speak for any other gay or bisexual people out there (Although judging by the comments, they mostly seem to think the same), but I'm certainly not attracted to myself. >_>

 

[OManoghue]

Possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read, they are no more or less attracted to themselves as any other normal person.

PS: Obvious troll is obvious

PPS: I hope cuz that was a fucking stupid question.

Ah yes, but don't we all ask obscure questions on the Escapist? We all may be gamers, but we're all, at least in off topic, logical in some form. So no matter what, whether our question is "stupid" or not, we're bound to get an answer or opinion on this forum in particular.

I am American, but I wasn't raised in America. Most of my sexual knowledge was picked up from friends and later fine tuned by my parents...my amazingly weird, politically incorrect, and logical parents.

But aside from that, I know people that aren't that well educated on sex and even then they're American. You may have been taught it, but that doesn't mean everyone has been.

 

[ediblemitten]

You're trolling right?

Right?

 

[KiloFox]

You know when a teacher tells you there are no stupid questions? Well, she lied. She lied big time.

-Straight guy who is attracted to himself.

this... this big time

and this is win as well...

as to answer your question as a gay male in a relationship with another male, no... there IS a difference between narcissism and homosexuality. and above, I've seen many answers that basically say this quite well. I'd recommend reading them.

as to answer other questions about homosexuals, (answering that Scrubs clip one) no.. A) same reason as above, and B) there's a distinct difference between a flaccid phallus and an erect one in an attraction sense.
my friend also asked once if having anal makes it easier to take a crap, and that's a no as well... there's good reasoning behind it too... but i won't get into that.

 

[Zantos]

I don't think the question is phrased particularly well here. A lot of people seem to be reading it as "Are all homosexuals attracted to themselves", whereas I think the better phrasing would have been "Can some homosexuals find their own body attractive/arousing".

For this, we go to the homophone. The answer we're getting is "No more than any other narcissist."

 

[LilithSlave]

Possibly not any more likely in homosexuals than heterosexuals, as odd as that might seem.

It is possible for one to be the only woman or man they are attracted to. Probably works on a similar basis to how some people like the smell of their own body odour but would be disgusted by somebody else's.

I myself am a bisexual though and am moderately attracted to my own body. Whenever I'm naked I feel kinda funny and it evokes sexual feelings in me. I think that's mostly because I wear clothes all day, though. And nakedness in our society is associated with sexuality. So even when changing clothes, one feels a bit dirty from the nakedness.

Aside from that, no, and I don't think that's the typical reaction in most humans. Kind of like how brothers and sisters don't usually have an incestuous attraction to each other.

 

[dead.juice]

I'm not gay (by normal standards), and I got a hardy-boy seeing myself in the mirror after a shower once.
I'd be flattered by myself, but I also used to get boners during church sermons, so fuck logic.

And fuck myself, for lying to myself when I told myself that I was the hottest thing ever, but then later saying Yoko Littner was the hottest thing.
I'm not even going to talk to myself now. Maybe I'll get over it later and have a hatefuck session with me.

 

[Phasmal]

This is a reeeeeally stupid question.
Hetero people arent attracted to anything that has the `right` sex organs, so why would homosexuals be?
If you're a straight guy would you be attracted to your sister? Your mum?
