    Obama’s letter

    So 21-yo Obama wrote to his then girlfriend that he had daily fantasies about men.

    This is not a political slam in any way -  this post isn’t about politics.

    I really don’t understand same sex attraction.  I’m a straight man and have absolutely zero fantasies about men ever.  Ever.  I personally find men gross.  But women’s bodies are the source of all my sexual fantasy.

    I think my ex lived a very compartmentalized life.  That’s another thing I don’t understand.  How can someone sublimate their sexuality to this degree?  Obama, in this context, reminds me of my ex - carefully creating this image of perfect heterosexuality that is fully false only to advance social/political goals.

    🤯

    Re: Obama’s letter

    wow, that's fascinating.  There was an Australian prime minister with a similar look to Obama - Paul Keating - I just went and had a look after reading your post and there are lots of articles saying he's gay too.  He had a nice wife - I now see they are divorced.

    I too cannot imagine what it would be like to be sexually attracted to a woman's body.  It's like my mind just won't go there.  And I can only imagine it is the same for people who are same sex attracted - their mind doesn't go there either, with the opposite sex.

    I think you are right about the compartmentalisation - that's how they do it.

    It is crushing for the straight in a MOM.
