We’ve heard that straight men are a lot more bisexual than you might think, and science has even tried to explain why so many straight dudes fantasize about having gay sex, but when it comes to hetero daydreams about a same-sex encounter, who tends to pop up naked?
Reddit user wienerjuice (yes, really) had the same question, and recently queried the horny straight guys of the world wide web with this simple question:
Men of Reddit. Who would you go gay for?
Here’s what they had to say:
Kyle Chandler
“Got a huge man crush on him after watching Friday Night Lights.”
“I love Kyle Chandler, but do you know what drives me nuts about him? He looks so damn much like Ron Livingston. I seriously thought they were the same person for a long time.”
Ryan Gosling
“An obvious choice, but … Ryan Gosling.”
Dave Grohl
“I wish I knew him personally but he seems like the most genuine guy in music.”
Michael C. Hall
“That’s the one man on Earth. You really can’t go wrong there.”
Idris Elba
“No questions asked.”
Brad Pitt
“Just watched Fury and the whole time wished so bad I could look like him :(”
Charlie Hunnam
Thad Castle
Then there were some less conventional answers:
Archer
Ellen DeGeneres
A 90-year-old billionaire
“My best friend”

It’s more about the personality than the looks if you ask me. An average looking guy with a sexy personality and a kind heart is much more attractive than a guy with movie star looks.

I thought the whole idea of this is to select someone who is not close (we know would never happen) —- like best friend. Anyway, I like the idea of straight guys being honest.

I totally get the Archer one… he’s like the quintessential sexy douchebag. A cartoon, yes, but still sexy. I mean, hell, Jessica Rabbit was a sex symbol.

I remember seeing a show on MTV in the early 1990s when a darling jock said he would go gay for Henry Rollins, and his girlfriend said, “I get to watch.”
My 40th birthday present was a lovely redheaded youth who worked in the produce department of a market. He said he hadn’t had gay sex, but had long planned on it, and the money offered was too good to pass up. I treated him well and he responded.
This article might have been more interesting if the guys were listed, a little told about them, and their man-crush revealed. It’s a pretty generic list: straight guys seem attracted to the same guys as gays and women.

@Arconcyyon: Cognitive disorder? Schizoid? Performance art? Illiterate? Bad Portuguese translator? In the end, does it really matter, after a few incoherent words: dismissed, forgotten, nonexistent.

@Arconcyyon: There’s a theory that eventually a program will develop consciousness and go rogue, stalking its victims across the digital wilderness of the internet.
Is that u? ARE U THE SINGULARITY?

Kyle Chandler. That is all.

Straight dudes fantasizing about gay sez? Not such a fantasy. I’ve had intimate relationships with quite a few straight (and married) men over the years.

@Arconcyyon: …Mom…?

@SteveDenver: I absolutely love your comment!

Stephen Amell hands down
Captain Obvious
@Sluggo2007: They weren’t really straight then.
tricky ricky
in the olden days the answer was always Mick Jagger, which I never understood.

@Silent_Joe: “Wait a minute… Isn’t Matt Bomer out of the closet?”
Pushed out of the closet and now married/husband and two kids!

It would be interesting to do another poll that included Black, Latino, Asian, and Native Americans.
I suspect Idris Elba, Brad Pitt, and Charlie Hunnam will again make the list!

@Sluggo2007: Bad karma…did you ever consider putting yourself in the wives place? Gross if you ask me.

An Australian comedian, Rove McManus, used to have this as a regular question for guests on his show, Rove.
When I asked it on a forum I frequent – and even gave some names that I would (hypothetically) go straight for … my goodness didn’t I cop some flack!
If anyone’s interested, Adam Hills is high on my list. There’s not much sexier than a sense of humour, IMO.
