The Easy Lifestyle Transition
The urge to sleep with men isn't just a mere preference of which gender to screw. The issue is not just confined to sexuality but somehow encompass an entire lifestyle.
In other words, I do not exist in isolation. By proclaiming I like men as well as women, I am interpellated into a whole community encompassing very specific discourses, history and semiotics. Queer Eye for a Straight Guy may have thrust a subculture into the forefront of media cool, but I do believe a lot of the exaggerated consumerist stereotypes have some basis in reality despite the blatant product placements.
It is this reality I have already been living in. I love wearing pastels. I spent shitloads of money on aromatherapy products. The Holy Trinity of Toner, Cleanser and Moisterizer (yes, in that order) is not foreign to me. In fact, my queer friend tapped me on the shoulder once and told me that I was REALLY close in turning gay. Once, I cross over the hill and start playing ass, then my transition is complete, because everything else is in order.
For now, my friends and family label me as 'metrosexual'. I detest that term because of its commercial implications. On the other hand, due to my Christian principles I refuse to fully embrace my bi-sexuality.
As it stands, I am a metrosexual, with 'options'.
