I'd like to thank the commenters in my previous post for confirming that the people quoted about the suspicious nature of non-sexual friendships between heterosexual males were wildly unrepresentative. For a moment--a brief moment, yes, but a moment still--I'd thought that I had managed to miss something that, let's be honest, I should have picked up upon.
Heterosexuality--as a lived experience, as a culture--is something that I'm not familiar with for obvious reasons. Bisexuality doubtless has some points in common, but the circumstances are again rather different. I wonder if heterosexual males see cultural markers of heterosexuality, in the increasingly liberated early 21st century North Atlantic area, as being threatened. Are there any ethnographies of heterosexuality out there? I'm curious.
