[Snerk]

What did the k in JoanK stand for?

 

[JohannaK]

The second part of my given name.

 

[Snerk]

Can't stop now. What's your given name?

 

[JohannaK]

If I told you I would have to kill you add you on facebook.

 

[Antilogic]

We would all add you on the facebook.

Or at least those of us who have facebook.

 

[Snerk]

If I told you I would have to kill you add you on facebook.

Found you on fb!! Adding you now. Not your best picture though Joan..

 

[JohannaK]

Holy crap, who even is that!?

 

[Snerk]

Yeah so I'm chatting with JoanK on fb. Turns out he's pretty kinky.

 

[JohannaK]

I can assure you none of my names begin with K.

 

[Arakhor]

Because of course it would be a C in the various Iberian languages.

 

[Zack]

What did the k in JoanK stand for?

Kool.

 

[Antilogic]

Turns out he's pretty kinky.

I'm not surprised, given how fah-ah-ah-abulous his avvie is.

 

[SamSniped]

The real Joan is a beautiful man. Even the straight guys want him.

 

[JohannaK]

Sometimes I even think only the straight guys want me.

 

[Farm Boy]

Now isn't that a fetish of some sort? One that's probably a lot more boring than it sounds?

 

[Kyriakos]

Now isn't that a fetish of some sort? One that's probably a lot more boring than it sounds?

It is called masochism

 

[JohannaK]

Now isn't that a fetish of some sort? One that's probably a lot more boring than it sounds?

If anything it is probably a phenomenon of dual self-affirmation, as a male and as a heterosexual. As a male since the target is probably closer in some way to a certain ideal conception of being than the source is, and as heterosexual by plain showing that that he can still relate to gay people while staying perfectly straight.

That is, the straight man who 'wants' a homosexual does so to either feel closer to an ideal of being which is subsequently projected by him on the latter, to reaffirm himself on his heterosexuality through being able to stay close with a homosexual yet not engaging in homosexual activities, or both.

Of course all of this may very well be rubish. I am quite tired and unsure that my chain of thought is still in proper condition.

 

[Farm Boy]

I suppose that would make sense!

Though it's always confused me as to why people think relating to somebody gay would make them gay rather than simply finding somebody cool. It's not like if I socially pick up an "appreciation for musicals(actually, I love musicals, just going for a trope)" I will suddenly miraculously brute force my sexual attraction to be something else. Like, wow, I totally love bingo now that I've tried it, I'm waaaaay more into sexy sexy dentures than I thought before.

 

[JohannaK]

Bear in mind I proposed two possibilities, the former being the way I think it works when we genuinely like someone, which is us projecting on them some sort of idea they are closer to than ourselves, whether it be kindred or muscular tone or whatever, which is perfectly nice.

The latter is perfectly legitimate as well but is more twisted.

 

[Farm Boy]

Well, it's very well could be there. There's lots of stuff I recognize as true albeit confusing to me.
