#4: Dr. Joe Kort - "Is My Husband Gay?" | Male Sexual Fluidity

Summary: What are we talking about? Men who have sex with men, have done it in the past or who are interested in it, but still identify as straight or mostly straight. However, their behavior or their interest makes their partner wonder about their sexuality.<br><br>Sometimes someone will wonder if their husband is gay because they have no interest in sex with them. Or they don't show a strong libido or a high sex drive.<br><br>Or, maybe their partner has had sex with men, either recently or in the distant past or maybe they've got an interest in them. And it really makes them wonder, "Is my husband gay?" Seems like a reasonable question.<br><br>But the truth is that sexuality is on a continuum. There's fluidity in our lives and our behavior is different than our identity. So you can't say just because somebody has done something that it defines who they are. You have a stable sexual orientation throughout your lifetime, but you may have romantic or sexual episodes long your path with someone outside of your sexual identity.<br><br>Sometimes these can be frightening and confusing. Especially since as children and adolescents, we are only given permission to know that there is heterosexuality. People who discover a different sexual identity usually are much older.<br><br>Dr. Kort describes his four questions that can help lead you to discover your own, personal sexual identity.<br><br>He also explains what may be happening with these incidents and experiences, and how this can be an opportunity to have a conversation you might not ever have.<br><br>Dr. Joe Kort is a licensed sex and relationship therapist.
