6 and a Half Questions for Ray (Beefcake)
- When did you first start questioning your sexuality?
“I’m not sure. Maybe in my late teens? I’ve always been kind of open-minded, but I never really gave it much thought until recently.”
- Have you ever been attracted to both men and women, or do you feel like it shifts over time?
“Yeah, I think so. I mean, I definitely find women attractive, but sometimes I notice guys too. It’s confusing because I don’t know if it’s just admiration or something more.”
- Do you feel more emotionally connected to one gender over the other?
“I think I’ve had stronger emotional connections with women, but that might just be because that’s what I’m used to. With guys, it feels different—like I don’t even know how to navigate that possibility.”

- Have you ever acted on your feelings toward the same sex, or do you feel hesitant?
“No, not really. I mean, I’ve thought about it, but I guess I don’t know how to go about it. Part of me is curious, but another part is nervous about what that would mean.”
- Do you feel pressure from society, family, or yourself to be a certain way?
“For sure. I come from a pretty traditional family, and I don’t think they’d really get it if I told them I wasn’t straight. And I guess I put pressure on myself too—like, I don’t want to be seen as ‘confused’ or something.”
- If you knew for sure that nobody would judge you, do you think you’d explore more freely?
“Yeah, I think so. If there were no expectations or weird looks, I’d probably be more open to figuring things out. But right now, it feels like there’s always something holding me back.”
6.5 (Half a Question) – If you had to label yourself today, even just for fun, what would you say?
“Uhh… maybe ‘figuring it out’? Or ‘mostly straight but open-minded’? I don’t know, man, I just know I don’t have it all sorted yet.”
