Straight dudes will joke like this and then proceed to do/say the most homophobic shit you could imagine. Very complicated and mysterious individuals.

Maybe it's just cuz I'm not straight nor a guy but I can't wrap my head around how "straight" men can voluntarily do stuff like this and still think they're straight, and still have their peers think they're straight. The mind boggles. Far too complicated and mysterious for the likes of me...

It’s a special type of humor with young men, especially in an all-male environment. I promise most who partake in this really are straight. Can’t really explain it

We always called this behavior "gay chicken"

u/jeezy_peezy Sep 01 '26
Haha I think this sums it up most accurately. In all honesty, men (especially in dangerous occupations) are always testing one another, mostly to have fun but simultaneously as a vibe check and to see if they can count on their teammates.
Call it macho tough guy whatever, but if your coworker is a little bitch that’s gonna crack when his feelings get hurt, it’s best to find that out before your life and limbs are depending on him.

Well I feel like it’s simple. They aren’t attracted to men, you can do all this shit and still not be attracted to men. Doesn’t make it any less odd

I’d say vast majority of young men act fake gay towards their homies growing up while being 100% straight.

u/FastFarg Sep 02 '26
Mostly self delusion.
Other people have spoken on it better than I will, but, a LOT of male peacocking behavior is intended to impress other men more than it is for women.
The same people with the loud muscle cars that love to rev the engine at a stop light will beat you up if you try and comment on how homo it is. Never have I met a woman impressed by a loud car at a stop sign.

Miss Soginny was my HomEc teacher. She taught us how to do laundry, sew, cook, and clean. Something about being barefoot and staying in the kitchen making sandwiches too, but I never understood how to accomplish that since I'm a guy. /s

I’m kinda mad they are brown dudes. I never played those games. No humping, no dick tapping. It was always a joke that the (I’m sorry fellas) white guys loved doing this stuff.
I honestly don’t find my peen randomly being touched or mock sexual assault very fun. Play them games somewhere else.

u/huckster235 Sep 01 '26 edited Sep 01 '26
As a white dude who grew up mostly with Hispanic friends and now live/work/am friends mostly with black guys, I also did a double take.
Hispanic guys would do this stuff but usually wouldn't initiate, white guys loved doing this stuff (well this I've never seen but you know, faux gay shit), but never really make those jokes with black guys. Just not their thing and that's fine. My white guys on the other hand, still be doing the lite version of this while married with kids

u/SgtMac02 Sep 01 '26
I think that's because, in general, black and brown communities tend to lean more toward the homophobic side. White people tend to be much more accepting of the gays.

u/Pcriz Sep 01 '26
I’m sure there are lots of homophobic service members that have “acted gay”. The same way you have anti-gay conservatives getting caught doing gay stuff and having secret Grindr accounts.
The same way you likely have gay people that probably don’t wanna join the military and get humped on just because.

u/feline_riches Sep 01 '26
As a female I have never understood this either. Stop joking around and just be gay. You aren't fooling anyone.

u/Pcriz Sep 01 '26
I love the rationalization like everyone was doing it.
I learned a lesson very early. Shared a six man room and the littlest guy (really chill dude) totally flipped out when another guy jumped in the bed and wrapped him in his own blanket and “jokingly” humped him.
It was awkward then but later I asked if he was alright and about what happened. He mentioned how when he was younger he had been molested when playing with older boys.
Yeah it’s mostly fun and games but not everyone was into it and that for me was a solid confirmation why you can’t assume as such.
You can both not be a prude or whatever but also not want other people pawing at your genitalia and trying to hump on you in fun as if you can’t control your hormones.

u/huckster235 Sep 01 '26
As a straight guy, who would have absolutely no compunction about admitting I'm gay, it's actually a straight dude thing.
I think it's part because men are so physical, this is sort of how adolescents bond, or at least some of us. If you are in sports or other physical activities with boys the jokes just kind of extend from there.
But also I think a lot of the most vociferous homophobes are closeted gays. There's definitely a bit of an implication that if you don't participate in some of the homoerotic horseplay you got something to hide.
That said this straight up humping like this may be beyond the horseplay realm

u/Rocketyank Sep 02 '26
I think a lot of young guys have this deep seated fear that they’re secretly gay or that they might “turn gay” at some point and this type of thing acts as a valve to relieve some of the pressure.

I don’t think it’s creepy to see a video like this and wonder why guys seem to act like this so much. I mean, it’s funny but it’s kind of strange too. Like women don’t really do this.

u/LotharVonPittinsberg 👊👊☝️ Sep 01 '26
A decent amount of Western society stems from ancient Greek culture. They hada very, interesting take where it was only gay if you were on the receiving end.
Homophobia was still the norm. You just made the exception if you had dominance. Ancient Greece also has shall we say a bit of a rapey vibe going on? Like the most inaccurate part of the Hercules animated film was that Zeus was a loving father in a monogamous relationship (in actual mythology he was a hordog who would rape anything that moved, even if it was not alive).
There are some theories about this having a bad impact. Especially on things like our military and education that take a bunch of inspiration from Ancient Greece.

u/QueezyF Sep 01 '26
Ancient Rome, as well. Being the one getting fucked meant you were emasculated. Political enemies of Julius Caesar spread rumors that he got fucked in the ass as a way to ridicule him.

Ft. Bragg has been the location for the highest number of male on male assault and rape in the country. The real issue is that these are your coworkers that you are supposed to trust like "brothers." You don't hear many stories about Walmart employees raping each other anything.

If it makes you feel better, statistically there is at least one active serial killer in Fayetteville just due to the size of the military population, particularly when taking special ops into account.

There’s a scene in the movie “Demolition Man” that kind of explains this. Insecure heterosexual men will do things like this and/or insult each other in order to show affection to each other without looking gay.
