Well good for you if you don't practice monogamy, but don't speak for the rest of us gay men please as if it is fact. We already have to fight off enough stereotypes.

It is ignorance. I know many gay couples who practice monogamy and many straight couples who cheat.

I'm not speaking on behalf of all gay men, more as a general rule. As with every rule, there will be exceptions.

Thought there was something creepy about him.

Ignorance is generalising

Warning: That Mirror article auto loads a video of their nauseating, desperate, attention seeking engagement.

No. It isn't. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge. Generalising is making a broad statement based on specific cases.

I don't believe that. I've got gay friends who are monogamous, and have been faithful to each other for twenty years.

Well, we'll all have to ask Andy when he gets out.

Generalising and specific are antonyms, dear

He probably gave him a hallpass

Yes I know, dear. That's why I said generalising is where you take specific cases, and from these find a commonality, which you then apply generally to things as a whole.

Which is what you've done about the gay community. Notice how not one gay person has agreed with what you've said? Clearly got issues so take some tissues

Damn very true!

An absolute nightmare. Deleted it within an hour.

Yes I know it's what I've done, I said as much in a previous post. It was a general rule based on my own personal experiences as a gay man and as someone who has known many gay men over the years, not one who has been in a long-term monogamous relationship, although many have been in open ones.

Cheating isn't nearly as common in gay relationships as it is in straight ones, for the simple reason that those who do seek monogamous gay relationships, of which there are some, will find them, and those that don't will have an open relationship, hence the lack of infidelity. There isn't the pressure on gay men to settle down, so for those gay men that want to 'sleep around' they can without ever having to cheat, and likewise, should a gay man want monogamy and fidelity they can have it with a like minded man.

If a gay man in a relationship is seeking sex with others, it's unlikely to be infidelity, more likely just enjoying the virtues of their open relationship, which they chose for the simple fact that they knew monogamy was not what they wanted, and had no trouble finding a like minded gay partner.

That's based on your experience alone. You can't speak for the whole gay community. It's not our fault you've been unlucky in love. You show your ignorance by generalising.

Ed wasn't loyal to Andy in the house. He said something critical about him to some of the HMS and also said he liked the people who Andy didn't like.

Oh ffs can't he not speak about his experiences.

He's not ignorant in the slightest. He's honest more like.

But it's not based on just my experience alone , but also that of the hundreds of gay men I've known over the years, none of whom have ever wanted nor had a monogamous, faithful relationship. I don't doubt that there are gay men who want that in life, and I will accept that my use of the word monogamy in my original post (way back when) was incorrect. What i meant was more along the lines of infidelity, and that those who wish to be 'unfaithful' simply avoid entering into monogamous relationships to begin with.

I have no intention of speaking for the whole of the gay community, I was simply making a statement based on the experiences of not just myself but every single gay man that I've ever met. And to clarify, I have never ever been unlucky in love, because love is something I've never sought.

Generalising is dangerous and leads to misconceptions

I'm glad that you've acknowledged its just your opinion. At first, you sounded as if you were trying to be the voice of god

People are being stoned to death and Ed goes and does this!?

To clarify, they aren't in an open relationship, or at any rate not one that allows either one of them to sleep with others. Emma asked Andy on Launch Night if he'd be looking for anyone to have a romance with in the House, and he said, 'No, I've got a partner…'

Of course, it's possible that Andy allows Ed to sleep with other people sometimes and Andy doesn't wish to himself. That does happen.

If Ed is cheating on Andy, I would imagine we'd hear nothing about it from him. Andy strikes me as the type of person who keeps his private life private.

If one were to obtain some photos of someone, one might be able to set up a fake profile.

Just saying.
