Like most you, I've watched many movies and documentaries about prison life and one of the most fascinating aspect is sexuality.
You have a bunch of "macho" men secluded from the outside world, they are supposed to be the epitome of bad. In many cases these men will be locked up for decades to life.
Obviously there will be people already gay in prison. But when does a man say "fuck it I'm gonna be in here for 20 or more years, I might as well like guys". Obviously it doesn't happen to everyone but it happens to alot. Were these guys always gay? Is the yearning for human connection so great the mind makes adjustments to compensate for lack of women these men "turn gay"?
In many cases these men continue being gay when they are released or bisexual. The same thing happens to the women. I've always wondered how far must a straight man be pushed to go gay cause he's given up hope. Even the "tough" ones that rape....still gay.
I don't expect any of you geniuses to have an answer and know none of you will including the gay ones...Please don't embarrass yourselves with pathetic one-liners.
