Shakespeare was not gay. He had a wife, many children, and probably slept around. He smoked pot, wrote while drinking in taverns, and was smooth as a motherfucker. Dicuss.

Plenty of gay men have engaged in all of these activities. Especially when if they didn't they'd have a medieval pike shoved up their ass and then set on fire.

Step 1: Don't give a shit about women, give them less attention than you give to your male friends
Step 2: Make fun of them when they show interest in you
Step 3: Be handsome

Why? I have ladyfriends who'll gladly donate their eggs when I want to have kids and in the meantime I have a much easier time finding people who share my interests AND want to suck my dick. :3 feels good man

Although one girl in my Russian lit class did seem pretty enamored when we talked about Crow, but I am no longer an insecure closeted teenager so nothing came of it.

But there are some out there!

Shakespeare was Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford. I do believe, friend, you should do a bit of research into the topic of who wrote Shakespeare before you go about making definitive statements about the man.

Da Vinci never got a flaming pike stuck in his ass (unless his boyfriends set their dicks on fire). But maybe Italy was more liberal about that sort of thing than England.

From what I've seen, it can work as a hook, just don't keep going with it. Get them interested with this only at very first, then use his method.

Vagina feels better, especially because you don't have to so wary about going bareback. Where anal is like a supertight ring followed by a very warm, squishy black hole, vaginal has a more consistent (although not totally invariable) tightness all the way down.

Getting fucked in the butt while you get your dick sucked is superior to both, though. If only there were more gymnasts out there with long dicks.

>> No.705580

I think the main reasons people like to think Shakespeare is gay are 1) he wrote a lot of fruity sonnets to a beautiful young man 2) he was involved in the theater scene, which is very open to homosexuality today.

Both of these points completely disregard the way things were back then. Expressing love for another man, especially a wealthy patron, was just the name of the game. You could have a bro back then who you trusted and loved and it wasn't gay. The theater was regarded as seedy by some, but certainly wasn't a gay haven. Just like today, although perhaps theater people are more accepting of homosexuality than the general populace, a love for theater is no indicator for homosexuality, positive or negative.

Pretty much. Take Marlowe, for instance: there's speculation that he was gay based on a few lines in his plays where he seems to write gay themes. Those themes are always in context with the work itself, though: Greek gods loving young men. It means Marlowe understood history, not that he was gay himself.

True story, mostly. They unearthed a bunch of pipes from Stratford-upon-Avon, some from the garden at Shakespeare's own house, and a few have them had resin caked inside. There's no way to tell if the Great Bard was puffing on it or if the pipes belonged to his gardener or something. Some scholar's point to his reference in Sonnet 76 to "the noted weed" and "compounds strange."

BUT DUDE, HE THAT LOVES NOT TOBACCO AND BOIES IS A FOOLE!!

afaik man-love was not an uncommon thing in those days, and it was very rare that anyone got medieval-butt-piked for it. In the court of James I, especially, there were high levels of homogay. The thing is that 'hetero' and 'homo' didn't really exist as orientations; few people were one or the other, and if they were in a de facto way, it may have expressed nothing more than preference (or some other reason). Personally I believe that Shakespeare had bum sex at least once in his life, but I have no evidence whatsoever for this, and I only really think it because A) it's plausible and B) it gratifies my conception of the guy as a total player.

(actually, no, contemporary reports seem to indicate he was kind of a dour workaholic who would often say "sorry, can't come to the pub, got to write a play")
