Gays in love
Spiritual Friendship
In the last not many posts in this series on gay men and the phenomenon of falling in love (Part 1, Part 2), we have spent a bit of time framing the conversation well.
We first walked through the theological and philosophical foundations of personhood where we highlighted the positive strivings of humans over against a pathologizing of human desires. Then, we looked at how humans attach to other humans and what security and anxiety looks like within those relationships. In this third and final announce, I’m going to deliver both of those realities together and contextualize it for the gay celibate community in our current cultural climate.
Hopefully, by the end of this series, we will see a more complex view of what it means to have feelings for another human. We may not own concrete answers but maybe we can begin to ask the right questions.
To begin, how do we characterize the phenomenon of “falling in love” in our contemporary culture?
From cinematic heartfelt moments like Eponine’s heartbreak in Les Miserables to pop songs like Ke$ha’s “Your Love is My Drug,” our culture sends a consistent message about what it means to

The 5 Love Languages for Gay Men
What do you perform when that feeling of entity in love starts to wear off?
It can be really disappointing. And studies show that that feeling of feeling really linked, feeling really at one, lasts an average of about two years.
So then what? That’s when you have to really launch feeding that relationship. That diet for the relationship I reflect happens naturally in those start stages. But after that initial period of oneness starts to wear off, I think we have to be more intentional about it, and come up with specific strategies to maintain it feeling to keep us feeling connected to our partner.
What I recommend is you obey Gary Chapman’s book, The Five Love Languages and figure out your partner’s favorite love languages, and your favorite love languages, and then intentionally start doing more of those.

Actually, that study, sited mainly on anti-gay websites, was proven to be a scientifically flawed study. The most commonly held study puts it at 10-12%, and that was from Kinsey in the 1960’s when it was still illegal in many states to be same-sex attracted. (Just think how many people were in the closet back then). Also interesting from Kinsey was the “sexuality scale”, where 1 was heterosexual and 10 was lesbian, and Kinsey establish that many people, mostly males, fell between a 4-6.
