is multidimensional. Many people recognize sexual fluidity, and some even identify as “mostly straight.” Fewer people know that some men and women have same-sex encounters, yet nonetheless perceive themselves as exclusively straight.
And these people are not necessarily “closeted” gays, lesbians or bisexuals. When a closeted gay or bisexual man has sex with another man, he views that sex as reflecting his secret identity.
He is not open about that identity, likely because he fears discrimination. When a straight man has sex with another man, however, he views himself as straight despite his sex with men.
