I wouldn't care im straight and I roll with girls and it's no big deal so i don't see it being any different for a gay guy who rolls with me.
Not a big deal...all the students and schools I've seen are very professional. Students are there to learn.
this occurs to me every time some friend of mine tells me grappling and/or mma is homoerotic somehow. if you do the math, probably everyone here with a year or so experience has rolled unwittingly with a gay man at some point in his training. (by the same math i'm sure at least a couple of our favorite MMA fighters are gay). not to mention we (by we i mean men, not trying to exclude the ladies but appropriate for this conversation) all have rolled or trained in class with a woman. i don't think those girls need to worry about our getting aroused nor do we need to "worry" about the potential arousal or whatever of a gay partner, given the evolutionary biology involved -- we are in fight (or flight) mode, the last thing our bodies are concerned with is procreation. or, better put, our bodies are trying to save us from our current circumstances in order later to procreate. it's why when i take my cup off my balls are shriveled the fuck up - they're protecting themselves from injury in what our lizard brains interpret as mortal combat. so unless you live in the year 1200 and are worried you're gonna catch a bad case of gay, i'd like to think the folks of 10th planet are progressive enough to get over it were the possibility of rolling with someone openly gay to come up. personally i'd be against the don't ask don't tell thing. people need to get past this shit. maybe i find it a bit easier because in my childhood universe there were plenty of openly gay folks and had i turned out to be gay coming out wouldn't have been as daunting an experience as one might have in other societies, nevertheless, i'd hate to lose out on the someone's hard work and insights as a training partner or teacher just because he was afraid that i or my classmates would be intolerant of who he decides to fuck/love/marry/whatever.
i'd be interested to hear the perspective of someone from a place not so forgiving of other lifestyles though as i sometimes take for granted my tolerance.
As long as no advances are made i could care less. But you dont really see men or women trying to do anything inappropriate when they grapple so i dont see why anyone would expect any different from someone whos gay. Though i probably would like to know if the person i was rolling with was gay or not. Not because it would bother me.. but just like i wouldnt get a girl in north/south.. i would probably try to avoid certain positions just for my own comforts sake. i hope that doesnt make me sound homophobic :S
ok, perfect. Although I am not gay. I am bi-winning, but that is a different story. How do you guys feel about the church in Kansas the "God hates Fags guys". I am not a fan and I have a plan to bankrupt them. You ask, 3rdeye what is this plan. I will tell you. ok, so check this out. Firs off we need about 20 guys. We get a bunch of "I heart BOYS" signs, and dress is solid rainbow. We follow them around and protest them. For sure after enough shit talk, one of them will flip and attack us. When he does, whoever he attacks has to take a beating. After the beating is good enough and there is sufficient damage. Then pull him off. Then sue them. Any civil court in the country would love to take allllll of their money and give it to the one that took the beating for "pain and suffering". Then the one that gets beat gets 50% of the cash, the other 19 split the rest.
Actually Anonymous is already on there asses, so they should be fucked without our help. Though the cash would be nice....Quote:

Those worthless douchebags from Westboro tried to protest a friend of mine's funeral who died in Afghanistan. I went to the funeral expecting a possible trip to the holding tank, but they were headed off by some bikers before they got into town (reportedly). Either way, they didn't make it to the ceremony.
And on the topic of "rolling" with a homosexual, it's a non-issue. Who cares.
So long as everyone's professional, I don't give a crap about what you do to satiate your biological need to procreate, so long as it's consensual. If you happen to enjoy double teaming midgets wearing clown suits, that has no bearing on your ability to learn/train/teach JJ. We're all a big jiu jitsu family, and as we know, there's really no such thing as "normal." It's possible we have every race, sexual preference, culture, age bracket, gender, height, weight, hair color, etc in our small tight knit family. I respect everyone here, and everyone in our familia who I've never met so long as respect is given as well.
be careful of your use of the word 'our'.......Quote:

I'm pretty sure gay guys don't roll with erections. if so that would be one hell of a rear naked choke.
I think that the last thing a gay dude wants is to roll with a straight dude that is not interested in anything other than strangling the fuck out of him. That said, I'm cool with rolling with anybody, except that one smelly fuck that has dirty shorts and ringworm.
If you care that they are gay, you're an asshole and you're the one with the issues.
I don't think anyone here does.
so it looks like the answer to your question is no one cares@3rdeye.
I had a guy tell me I smell good one time when I was rolling....... Does that make me gay? :)
I need to get this on a T-shirt. <3 Wanderlei. But in all seriousness, unless you're here to find people to date, it doesn't matter what sexual preference people have. We're all here to train and get better, or help others get better, or both.

I can't imagine not being willing to roll with someone because of their sexual orientation. If the ladies are willing to roll with me, I am willing to roll with a gay man. If things work out they way they're supposed to we'll both be too busy to care about anything but jiu jitsu.
I think especially if you are in danger it becomes biologically impossible to become aroused; gay or straight. If your head is in the game, your sympathetic nervous system is in high gear. The "fight or flight" system is opposed by the "feed or breed" parasympathetic system. If you are running for your life, the nervous system that controls your breeding instincts are all but shut down. You couldn't stop to get turned on if you wanted to.
And yes, I want that t-shirt. That is Shogun with Wandy isn't it?Quote:

what is ironic about bjj is that although it appears ridiculously sexual, it is the farthest thing from your mind while doing it. and if someone mind IS thinking it, you'll probably finish him off real fast.
it was why i liked rock climbing. when you rock climb and start thinking about falling/girlfriend/kids...you die.
Yes, and they're having a gay old time aren't they? *tee hee*Quote:

Then I showed her an arm bar from guard and she goes "oh man, that's awesome, I get it now." =D Seeing/Feeling is believing. She likes jiu jitsu now and tries to slap RNC's on me in bed lol. She's only 90 lbs by the way so it's fun to have this little chick trying to choke me out while I spin her around and she's holding onto my throat.Quote:

This will never work. Being from KC I'm very familiar with the Westboro Babtists. What most people don't understand is they're not the dumb Midwest, bible thumping, gay hating, crazies that they and the media make them out to be. It's one family, the Phelps family headed by Fred Phelps, and some of their friends. They are wealthy and well educated, several of them are briliant lawyers. What they are doing is getting people pissed at them, they are getting people to try and pass unconstitutional laws to attck them, they are trying to make people infringe upon their rights. Then they turn around and use the lawyers of the group to reap the maximum damages possible on their behalf in court. They had your idea before you did so i really doubt you will be able to trick them out of their money playing their game.Quote:

Kevin Smith's horror film "Red State" features a religious fundamentalist based on Phelps as a villain. He'll be here in town this Sat. for a showing and he has invited the entire Westboro Church to come enjoy the film lol.

Can we get back on topic?Quote:

Yes and it is funny... All joking aside. Who wants to protest these protesters with me? This could be a huge marketing tool for 10th planet.
And coming up next on AC360, Anderson speaks with Eddie Bravo on how his BJJ school single handily bankrupted the nations most evil protesters.
