Social value of masculine males who are open to sexuality from men increases amongst other straight men

23 year old Shanu was like any other regular guy next door. He had always hid his sexual need for men, even though, like other men in India with a developed sexual need for men, he was subconsciously aware of the fact that almost everyone had a sexual need for men, although he could also sense that men were at the same time very hostile to the idea.
So, he was shocked when a guy in the neighbourhood who used to visit him sometimes accidentally found out naked men on his computer. Shanu tried to explain it away, and the guy pretended as if he was satisfied with the response. Shanu heaved a sigh of relief.
The guy started to make 'straight advances' towards Shanu -- the subtle kind where you try to signal quietly and discreetly through touching body or hands in the beginning, and when confidence develops, 'casually' touching the crotch area. But Shanu did not like him at all, and drew back. He also did not want it to be confirmed to be him that he was interested in another man.
Then one day, he inadvertently got into a fight with the guy over his sister. Two days later, he saw him talking to another guy in the block, and something about the way he was talking, made him suspect, there was something wrong. He was talking to the guy about him, and he somehow knew, it was about his 'sexual preferences'.
Shanu became extremely nervous. He did not know what to do now. He would now be branded as a 'homo' -- the word that he so much hated. What was he ever going to do again. Now, everyone would shun him. They'd taunt him everywhere he goes. He would be 'badnaam' (without dignity and respect; infamous) in his colony. What if this gets to his parents.
He was right about what he had suspected about the guy telling the other guy about his sexual preferences. But, what happened after that was something he had never, ever suspected in his wildest dreams.
He noticed that as days passed by, boys in his colony started to eye him whereever he went. And these were not glances of ridicule or shame or indignity. Nor were these glances that treated him as some kind of a 'prostitute'. Instead, these were glances of intense desire, of needing something, as if they were inviting or even begging him to fulfil their desires.
Of course, Shanu hated this, because he hated his sexual preferences to be known like this. But, since it raised his value so much in his block, where he had no friends, and he was kind of shy of making friends because of his sexual needs, he did not feel as bad either. In fact, he was beginning to enjoy all the attention.
And then one day, the most handsome boy in his locality, who would be a catch for any girl, suddenly turned back to look at him, when he was sitting in the park. There was something special about this look. It was exactly like a boy would make advances towards a girl. He turned back just before turning into a street, and as there eyes met, he stopped right there and they both stared longingly at each other for a few seconds, as if time stood still.
Shanu had no idea how to relate to another man romantically, and how to approach a guy, so he did not pursue it.

So, you see, if you're a 'straight' guy (i.e. masculine gendered guy), your value in the men's society actually increases if other men come to know that you're open to sexuality with men. It is true that all men hide a sexual need for other masculine men, but they are all afraid of each other, because the society creates an aritifical situation where men are afraid of being rejected by other men. It's true that there are some males who exert peer pressure on men who 'come out' and ridicule and isolate them, but these men are in a minority, its just that they have absolute powers to oppress, invested in them by the society. Of course, media is one of the strongest institution that is in the control of Forces of Heterosexualisation, and which is strongly involved in creating this false impression.

It would of course have been absolutely different if Shanu had been 'gay', that is a feminine guy into men. Then men would not only have made his life difficult by ridiculing him, they would have shown him immense hostility instead of showing a sexual attraction. It's not that many straight men are not attracted to feminine guys, but that the social values around male femininity makes them hate it so.

So, the moral of the story is, Masculine men who are seen as being discreetly open towards sexuality with other men -- their social value in the men's spaces increase tremendously.
