salon:In 2005, some friends of mine brought to my attention some personal ads they had discovered in the “Casual Encounters” section of the online bulletin board Craigslist Los Angeles. The text of one such ad read:Str8 guy wants to try BJ tonight… .–27. Ok, I’ll make this short. I’m up late tonight. I have a girlfriend. But I’m at home by myself now. I watch porn and I like when the women suck on big cocks. I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I’d like to suck one. I’m not attracted to guys so I’d rather not look at you much. Just suck your cock. I have a Polaroid and would like to take a pic with cum on my face. But this is really only for tonight cuz I’m horny! … I am Caucasian and prefer Caucasian.Though my friends and I were/are all queer people of the post-structuralist persuasion, we marveled at the suggestion that this was the fantasy of a “straight guy.” We imagined that its author was a kinky gay man posing as straight to enact his straight-dude fantasy. Some of us considered that perhaps this ad was the outcome of a sad and sexually repressed life in the closet. As we scanned through three days of Craigslist posts, we discovered dozens of similar ads in which “str8” men were looking for sex with other men.I had questions. Who were these white dudes? Exactly what kind of sex acts were they looking for? -- source link
