After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva found that they relish a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly spotting with straight culture.

I bring this up as the Internet is uncovering gay men prefer James Charles for preying on direct men. In his specific case, James had weaponized his own celebrity to allegedly seduce men to fall for him. In one case, he went for a waiter in Washington, who later told him he wasn’t into
