They&#8217;re macho but not brazen about it. They&#8217;re receptive and feminized, but far from castrated. <\/p>\n<p>Both men and women can feel the pull of desire (if they&#8217;re open to it)! Everybody&#8217;s wondering who&#8217;s gay and who&#8217;s not, right? And I think that&#8217;s a huge chunk of the appeal.
