A 22-year-old straight man hooked up with a Latino Ryan Gosling lookalike — and now it’s the talk of the town. But that’s because he was on Molly, and he swears, swears, swears he isn’t gay.

A straight-identifying man on Reddit says he’s considering becoming homosexual because he thinks he’ll get more action, but he’s having some difficulty actually following through with it. “So I’m a straight man and I heard gay men have a lot of sex I figured well might as well join ’em,” he writes. “Thing is I’ve tried: watching gay porn and solo gay guys and, sadly, I don’t get aroused.” That certainly is disappointing. “Well,” he continues, “I do get aroused at straight blow job porn, so...
