My Opa was in the army of the German Empire in WW l. He fought for the good side but hated it. He was very kind and very tactile until my brother and I were in our teens. My brother used to kiss him when my brother was in his late teens and early twenties. Opa would say with his strong Hamburg accent, "Men don't kiss uta (other) men!" That's bullshit!!! I'm sorry that so many guys thought that they could just grab your schwanz without you wanting that. Mario, Träum was Schönes.

This was prob the most balanced, fair, vulnerable conversation I've heard on this topic and it came from a guy who is not gay. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are a rare unicorn, and you own it.

[@Studycase3000]

You are so right about men simply comforting one another or a cuddle. I accept you Mario just as you are. Ya I'm gay. I had a friend in the Virgin Isles who after a great scuba dive we returned to the beach house and he found out from a call his Queen, his Grandmother passed. I asked what I could do, He was devastated, asked me to hold him...I did in bed the entire night. Nothing sexual about it. A friend needed to feel safe after his world was ripped apart, period. I had so much respect for him after that, and no not a crush. There was a straight buddy who was comfortable in his own skin enough to ask his gay friend to play big spoon ~ lol I'm a giant

Omg closing yourself off from your dad as a way to become closer to them is SO TRUE. That one definitely resonated.

[@handiable]

I totally understand your experience. When I was a child the older men would tell me to stop being creative, stop knitting and go out and play with the other boys. The older men verbally assaulted with me the f word, sissy and did it repeatedly. I'm a trans woman today and I don't care what people think or say. Most of my friends are straight men and I never disrespect them or make passes at them. Everyone needs affection and love. Grown adults need to let children be children and stop trying to label them.

I do regret never being totally honest with my dad about my sexuality, I only found out after he was gone that he never cared who I loved, as long as I found love. (He was Sicilian and I was always afraid that would be an issue.)

[@mxslick50]

I so want what you said to be true Mario, but I have found that being open with other men has brought nothing buy hate, distrust and rejection to my life. I have lost jobs by being open, "friends" by being open.....this has been the case since my teens. I feel that being here in the US is a big part of the problem. I spent some time in Dublin and Isle of Man and I felt that the people there were much more accepting and more honest, I felt welcomed and trusted there. Maybe someday I can expat to the UK and live the remainder of my life in an environment of acceptance rather than hatred.

[@FreedomIsMyReligion]

Great video Mario! Kudos to you for opening up about it. I'm bissexual and my best friend is straight. He is super alpha male but he learned to be himself around me (when is just the two of us. He still the typical alpha male around other people). It took me years to show him that it's okay to be vulnerable and have emotions. I find this beautiful and I will always respect his boundaries at all times. I saw this dude naked a million times already (due to him being too drunk and in need of a cold shower to sober up) and even tho he is freaking hot and gorgeous, nothing ever happened and will never happen between us. Once because he likes girls, and two, because I value his friendship too much to even try anything. For the gays out there, don't break that boundaries with your straight friend. This is the time you should always keep things respectful. If a straight due is willing to share his emotions with you, the last thing you want it is to scare them of. Let them be themselves around you, and making sure that they feel respected and safe as well. Cheers from Canada and too all peoples, regardless their sexual orientation.

[@khalilmchiche5907]

Thank you for sharing this❤

[@JDSarmiento]

As a bi man I find this very relatable, I love being intimate with my male friends but sometimes there is an awkward boundary. espeially because men tend to be so hypersexualized that if you get too close it either gets very awkward or it gets sexual. With straight friends i've always had like a point that I rarely crossed and i've had very few gay friends because what they want is something more. Normalize being intimate with other men without it being sexual plz (:

[@DarioDvon]

Love This. I am a gay man but i used to work at a resort in the Caribbean and I had to present very heterosexual. My job was like a social host and activities coordinator, I remember this guest, he from the uk and I remember him being so comfortable with himself. we became friends over the 2 weeks he was there, He loved my voice and remember he did a video of me singing and then was like "isn't he amazing give me cuddle' and hugged me and kissed me on my neck ( men dont do this where I am from ). Note he was there with his newly engaged wife to be but he so comfortable showing affection and who he is, and I remember thinking how easy life would be if men were allowed to express affection. In the black community and glimpse of femininity is shot down. Living there i knew life would be very much hidden and living in secret, I left that job and that island to live a fully life in Canada but this video made me remember him. Guys from the Uk are a-lot more emotionally mature and expressive. They would have a best friend that gay and not care what small minded people think. Where i'm from I hardly have heterosexual male friends; not because of them but because of trauma growing up in society that told heterosexual men they couldn't be friends with someone who gay or thinks differently to them. Sad but that's Life. They are men that would marry a girl and pretend all they life just for peace not happiness, I chose happiness, I hope in the Future it changes for the better. ❤

[@kmarie7051]

Yes our relationships with others are reflections of our relationship with ourselves. We react to things the way that we do for our own reasons and because of our own stuff. In relationships people-pleasing and compulsive blame-taking behaviors are just as destructive as blame-shifting and behaviors that ignore the needs of others. Both contribute hugely to imbalance in relationships. Many people have been conditioned to believe since childhood that they are responsible for other people's emotions and well-being. People who grew up with this type of conditioning often believe it is their responsibility to fix, help and take care of other people or to finally prove to themselves that they are lovable, that they are good enough. Undoing that conditioning can be difficult. There is often a huge amount of guilt that accompanies it, as well as many other deep-rooted core issues that involve self-worth and self-esteem. These may be things that people are not even aware or carrying around unnecessary guilt that is not even attached to the situation but is affecting their decision-making. Own what’s yours and that’s it. We can learn to trust ourself, meet our own needs, deal with our emotions in a healthy way and use reality testing to manage our perceptions and conclusions.

Hey Mario. This is a wonderfully honest video. Thank you so much for sharing. Firstly, I am so sorry to hear that anyone is, in effect, sexually assaulting you. It is never acceptable to forego consent and those men who are touching you without consent must be confronted (indeed by the rest of us in the gay community). Secondly, as an older gay man who has made new friends with much younger straight men, it is such a pleasure to see their generation be more expressive in their heterosexuality than those of my own contemporaries. I hope this trend continues. If so it may create that much more open heterosexuality that you wish to see and experience amongst straight men. Keep up the great work, my friend

Hi Mario, I LOVE your content, is beutiful so much ❤

[@martynduffy]

I’m a gay man grew up in the 80’s, I am the opposite I have always been one of the lads. like all straight guy activities sports fighting particularly fighting because I was good at it. I found my self in a situation where straight men were afraid to fight me and because I could beat the majority of straight guys. They would not acknowledge my sexuality because in their mind, they were less than. So I grew up in a very straight environment whereas a boy there were expected and accepted levels of masculinity I never fit any of these moulds. Vulnerability is something I have problems with I feel less than when Vulnerable, so don’t go there. So I’m a gay man living a straight man life and why? it’s because who I am not them. We’re all individuals we all have our good parts and bad parts I found concentrating on what your good at do it and what your not so good at leave by the wayside. Life is about me, you, them, just being who we are comfortable being. never try to live up to expectation as they often aren’t right and let you down. If you ignore others views of who you are. we’re only here once just try your best to be you and happy enough with yourself that other’s opinion don’t matter not important. Learn to love yourself others will follow suit I’ve done it for over 30 years now. Life is tough nothing worth having ever comes easy.

[@JohnOwensIV-kn8hw]

Mario, Im not really one to follow or keep up with celebrities, but I have been watching your videos for a while now, since maybe the pandemic. Im blessed to say I have a ton of awesome people in my life, but few ive ever related to as much as I can relate to you. I know exactly how you feel about being highly sexualized from a young age. I have been SAed many times as well, and ive always felt that something wasnt right about the pressure I was put under to be hyper masculine. Deep down, I also thought it was beautiful to have deep, meaningful connections with my guy friends. I know now that my earlier trauma led me to becoming asexual (I went years without having sex while simultaneously running around in hot Versace underwear too lol), except at the time, I didnt know what asexuality meant. All I felt was that something was seriously wrong with me bc I wasnt nearly as sexually driven as either my male or female friends. It led me to try to be perfect at everything else I did, however, I always felt that even if I ever achieved being the handsomest, funniest, richest, or smartest guy in the room, id never be enough for a future wife, all because I lacked the sex drive. I thought for the longest time that I was gay and eventually hooked up with a guy, but my body wasn't into it and the outcome was no different. I wrote all this to say that you taught me what asexuality meant, and that helped me so much. It led me to continue to explore, but without this restricting idea that something was deeply wrong with me. It allowed me to heal and although I still have many asexual tendencies, I consider myself bi and I am now so content with who I am. If you ever happen to see all of this, just know there are very few people who have had as much of a positive impact on my life as you have, and in turn, you've allowed me to be able to help a few others find comfort with themselves too. Thank you for always being so open and authentic. I hope I get to see one of your shows live one day! Sincerely, A fan for life. J. Owens IV

I'm a gay man who's friends with straight men, I feel safe with straight men because I don't have to deal with them wanting to have sex with me & a lot of gay men are over sexualized at times with other men, similar to how straight men can be with women. I'm not interested in making anyone feel uncomfortable because I don't like to be made to feel uncomfortable by being objectified & sexualized. There are some men, both gay & straight, who you'll find & can become good friends with without the fear that arises due to unwanted sexual tension being aimed at you or feelings of guilt for being vulnerable with them.

[@jorgebanha]

Hey Mario! I’ve been watching your videos since you created the channel. I felt like I had to say something now… You share your life with us and I hope you take this like we were friends having a conversation. In my opinion you have problems with men because you have internalised homophobia, and not towards the gay community but towards yourself. You always say that you’re straight but as an European you are more open minded. I’m also European and yes, we are more tolerant and open minded but that’s not an excuse to go around kissing men like you do… I’m gay, and over the years I’ve met many men like yourself. You HAVE to be straight, even if you develop feelings for other men, you swallow them and keep saying you’re straight! But that’s not the case, is it? If you allow your feelings to be free, you will feel like a weight as been lifted off your shoulders! Allow yourself to be happy and honest to your inner self. Don’t live your life trying to be something you’re not, it will make you miserable… Think about what I said, and don’t be afraid to be happy… Much love

Oh come on, you will love it 🎉😂

[@sabistarian]

I remember that video where the possibility of you being gay or simply not-hetero, made your dad inmediately frown and be like no way, while your mother kind of hit him for reacting so... She may be onto something. Also, all over the years, you seem to be very attached to the idea of heterosexuality, which is weird and dubious to say the least, because people who know what they like and are honest with themselves (most heteros, and more and more non-heteros I'd say), they just like what they like. They don't necessarily suffer from it. There may or may not be something underneath all these very visible seams, but hey, what prevents you from experiencing life otherwise? who forces you to remain attached to whatever? is it a divinity? Good luck to you man!

[@magnvss]

There is a very misunderstood reason for the tough masculinity that doesn’t show emotions and doesn’t allow or show affection or (non sexual) love for other men: In tougher times and especially on war times you cannot (I repeat you cannot) love your friends, your companions in arms and don’t be traumatized when they get killed, dismembered, disfigured, blown to pieces, erased. The only mechanism that allowed men in oh so many cultures to keep SANITY while keep doing what was necessary for their sake, that of their families (if survived) and their people in general is to have toughened attitude towards intimacy and shield yourself for feeling in general and feeling something for men in particular. That is also why when such cultures (subjected to wars) stop having those experiences, they relax and their men mellow again, because men like people as any other human being does. Yet the problem remains: was hasn’t disappeared from reality. And you need tough people, especially men, to be able to confront those who want to destroy (you, your country, your culture even). Women, for all of history, acted as a “reservoir” of love, they kept empathy when their men were subjected to the most horrific experiences ever imaginable, their part in these conflict wasn’t (normally) to go fetch a sword, but to keep children and the vulnerable alive (and that was a risky bet too, not always successful) and keep some sanity at home. There is another point of contention on the video: there is nothing inherently “feminine” on being gay (gay being just being attracted to your own sex) but they may be lest constrained by cultural related stereotypes that fall onto such adjectives (psychologically speaking you can have some traits that TEND to be more prevalent on one sex than another; if it is among women that doesn’t make you “feminine”, nor does that a woman shows traits that TEND to be more prevalent on men). This isn’t to contend that yes, some gay are stereotypically feminine on their displays (the mannerism being dictated by culture) but that is not a de fact reality.

[@adriancutillas]

Since I run into your channel Mario, I had my thoughts, but now you uploading this video, I from my deepest respect tell you what I feel is your thing on this topic. I buy you don’t like labels. I buy you that men should hug and physical contact more. I buy you wanting to have intimacy and being vulnerable around lads. But what I deeply reckon is that you are working on finding out who you are, and that besides all the points I made above, good-heartedly you are bi though.

You know, you owe no one, including yourself, any explanation of who you are, where you are comfortable, what you want to experience as long as you are not hurting anyone or yourself. I think sometimes the idea of “normal” is so shoved down kids’ throats that the idea of normal becomes more important than being you. Who fits in anywhere? I’ve lived in many countries and that is far more indicative of not fitting in than the sexuality of those you are hanging out with. You are an immigrant in the U.S. . That makes you different from all the people around you. And the U.S. is a place where people are now transactional as opposed to relational. Ignore what “straight” men tell you about being straight. Ignore the sexual advances of gay men as anything other than them being jerks. Be you. Be happy with that. Don’t fit in, that’s an illusion. You have great relationships. Nurture those and just let those that don’t meet your standards be the passing ships they are.

If you are dating a woman I don't see why this is still a struggle for you? And you've been dating her for a LONG time now. Complicated isn't good dude. I'm not into labels; doesn't matter if u are gay or straight, bi, queer, pansexual or WHATEVER! What matters is you just being you and being happy and being honest with yourself and your girlfriend.

I am confused on how his grandpa was the one with the issue but he distanced himself from his father because he felt like he couldn’t make him proud.

There's a constant theme of gay men being effeminate running through this video but it's just not true. Sure there are some but it's not anywhere close to a majority. Gay men want to be perceived, for the most part, as masculine because we were usually taunted in school for being different. That difference was usually around not being exposed to sports so we didn't have that commonality with other males our own age BUT don't assume thay meant we were feminine. I believe that's why gay men live in the gym to fend of this notion of their younger selves.

Whatever complications you have, its not kind to flirt with gay men and then reject them with your heterosexuality. Thats borderline abuse.

Sexuality is so fluid. It really is!

[@motherterezzza3466]

I love gay people. There is no judgement or pressure. I’m straight-ish.

thats why they call it GAY it means HAPPY, EXPRESSIVE, and all other wonderful things.
