rfmcdonaldA Statement: A very large majority of men actively gaze and in so doing, fantasize, and fantasize through gazing. Men sexualize all potential objects of desire, even objects of broad-based romantic desire as opposed to objects of purely sexual desire.
This trait, so far as I can tell, is common to men across the Kinsey spectrum. I've sat with straight guys and commented upon how some women--even though we know nothing or next-to-nothing about them--are hot; I've sat with gay guys and made the same comments about some men. Some body parts (glutes, chins, legs, hair) may be common to both genders; some body parts (biceps, abs) are unique to men; some body parts (breasts) are unique to women. Irregardless, all these body parts can, if sufficiently well-formed and appropriately placed, produce bodies of either gender which will quickly attract an appreciative and often intrusive male gaze, which will then proceed to inform optimistic speculation as to what can be done with said body or bodies.
This, so far as I can tell, is a natural response (by which I mean inevitable at its base, though it can be treated by men and responded to by their objects in any number of ways, some more legitimate than others). To think that you'd like to jump this cute blonde with the ample bosom, or that well-dressed slim guy, doesn't mean that you'd not be interested in establishing a romantic relationship with either (or for that matter, with both if you're of that bent). It's simply an initial response taken without knowing much about that object's potential desires himself or herself, just hoping for the best..
It's quite possible to be entirely too caught up in superficial responses to physical appearances, but superficialities have their place. One thing I've noticed about all guys, again irregardless of sexual orientation, is that they like to watch. What can I say? It's fun.
(And for all I know, this response may be just as common among women. I can't say, since I'm not one.)
