Funny, but in other countries, when men hold hands while walking or talking, it is a gesture of friendship, and has no sexual connotation. Here in the US, we seem to sexualize everything. To the point of being obsessive. You would think that a society that chooses to be obsessive about sex would choose to make sex good rather than bad. How sad for us.
I believe it's our Christian Fundies
America is the most sexually repressed country in the world, bar none!
A wholy unhealthy denial of reality causing many problems they had hoped to elliminate.
Last night I watched a very good Biography of Lincoln on the History Channel.
It seems that even while Lincoln was president, he shared a bed with men.
My gawd, that means he was gay right? It must be, men don't other wise sleep with men!
At that time it was not uncommon for both sex's to share a bed with the same sex, and there was nothing of it other than they both were looking for sleep!
Seems odd to me. If two women hold hands, or dance together, or even share a bed, we don't immediately assume they're gay!
I suspect if religous fundamentalists were banished to the moon, it would take another 200 years
for us to completely lose the heavy over coat of sexually repressive guilt they have laid upon us.
