I have also read some of the stories about guys masturbating with their brothers and friends. Most of these people say they are not gay, but yet they get aroused off other guys and masturbate with them. Isn't that what being gay is? Being attracted to the same sex? I am straight and the only thing I have ever thought about while masturbating is women, and it sounds just plain nasty to masturbate with other guys.

There's a difference between being attracted to guys and being attracted to guys masturbating. Masturbation is sexy behavior, and sexy behavior turns most guys on – period. You are not necessarily gay if you like to watch someone else masturbating, or even if you're aroused by the idea of one of your friends masturbating. If you happen to think it's nasty, well, that's fine – but other straight guys seem to have different feelings about it.
