    So many people have thought I was gay I went into introspection. Turns out I’m very straight.

    This seems like the thread to ask. I am wiring up a two-way switch so that a person on either side of my bed can turn the bedside light on or off without having to roll over to the side that the light is on. Is… Is that gay?

      Lightstrip behind the headboard. Wireless switch in the middle. Problem solved, no homosexuality involved.

      It is gay, yes, but since you’re doing electrical work it’s pretty butch. I’d say it makes you more lesbian than anything else. If you get some smart plugs to put them lamps on you can set them for voiced activation and regain some heterosexuality (but only the nerdy, techy kind that comes with big Reddit Mod energy).

      If you want to be back into Normal Straight Bro territory you have to make the voice command for the lamps the sound of you railing a chick. It’s the only way to square things up. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules, and homo math can be very complicated.

        I would honestly say that the smart plugs and general electrical work pretty much go hand in hand. All my very much heterosexual male acquaintances that are electricians love smart plugs. Smart plugs everywhere. Going to their homes is like coming to an experimental museum of “how can I just barely make this building up to code while nothing fucking works”.

          Well, if there’s only 2 switches then 2x 2-way is enough. Otherwise, it’s (n-2)x 3-way switches plus 2x 2-way.

          The naming is not consistent. As Wikipedia puts it,

          This article follows usage in the United States. Readers in most other countries should read “two-way” or “SPDT” for the United States “three-way”; and “intermediate”, “crossover” or “DPDT” switch for the United States “four-way”.

          The switches I’m using are marked with cute “ON/ON” labels which I suppose could be a metaphor for something.

    This is so bizarre. So his GF decides he’s gay, because his room is tidy? No mention of sex life, so I’m going to assume there’s no issues there.

    Such a weird assumption to make.

      I have “the aura”. And although I don’t know what that means, I’ve started asking anyone who asks me if I’m actually gay, what leads them to that assumption.

      The current top picks are:

      I look put together, I care about hygene, I clean my home, I’m usually friendly, I look happy.

      Like… their assumption is correct. But when did caring for oneself become a sign of the big gay? What are straight people doing?!

      Nah it’s contrived.

      It’s an impossible accusation to disprove, because it’s not a thing you did, it’s your preference. You can only “protest too much” or “protest too little”.

      Likely the other person wants the relationship to end, but can’t stand the idea of it being their fault. So it’s the “closeted” person’s fault.

    Heterosexual men don’t decorate beyond the social minimum standard that it doesn’t look empty. This is not decorated, everything is just “put somewhere” where it is easily accessible.

    OK, now I wanna see the second pic. Cause that boy has a lovely bedroom. I would be very happy to get my ass destroyed in.

    But I need to see a second pic, to see if he has a nice bedroom.

    What? I have standards.

        This is much nicer than the view of the bed. I hate those little prison / kitchen windows over the bed.

        Plot twist: girlfriend is trans but in the closet so bedroom guy really is gay.

        Lovely bedroom and you’re humble.

        You’re welcome to send me a private message ;)

        But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”

        I wish this is my bedroom…

          That’s not my bedroom that’s just the second picture from the Reddit post.

          But now I’m kind of curious I might dig through the op’s profile in search of a picture of their bathroom lol.

          “I’ve had loads of gay experiences. I’ve seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I’ve described a cake as ‘to die for’. But I’ve never had the gay experience of having another man’s cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts.”

        That shoe rack next to the door will prevent it from opening more than a crack, and it annoys me.

          Those damn “form over function” people…

          Anyway that’s my excuse for lack of home decoration sense: it’s all function-first. Yeah. Totally that.

    So when we put all social pressure and all that aside and we look at a womanly woman, a manly woman a manly man, a womenly man, a person in between: which one would you prefer to fuck? One, several, all? This usually does the trick.
