snug.bunny Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 My younger 2nd cousin just had both his ears pierced, and is now wearing a diamond stud in each year. He is only 17 years old. I am actually a tad surprised that his parents allowed this, as our background is strict Catholicism. He also has, what appears to be, a "Justin Bieber" hairstyle. He doesn't have a girlfriend, and his uncle is homosexual. My one aunt, who is a devout Catholic, has made comments along the lines of "I wonder if he is gay....". What's everyone's view on ear piercing on guys....Is it a sign of his sexuality or could it be something entirely different?
Emilia Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Depends on cultural and racial background. If he is caucasian then he is gay
t_i Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 My ex had his ear peirced, and hes very much straight. He loves women. I personally didnt like it though. I think its a fashion thing with some guys. He'll probably grow out of it.
EricaH329 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 My brother has both of his ears pierced and he is as straight as they come. I think ear piercings on guys are attractive. I don't find the gauged piercings to be my style, but a little diamond in both ears (in my opinion) can actually look really nice!
Jynxx Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 He has seen people with their ears pierced get laid, he thinks by copying their style he will get laid too. Believe me, a teenage boy doesn't think about how not to look gay to his catholic family, he only thinks of one thing and is most likely obsessed with it, like any other teenage boy. Stop overanalysing.

sm1tten Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Has nothing to do with sexual orientation or religious devotion/affiliation.
misssmartypants Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I think white guys can have their ears pierced and look just fine. It depends on the kinds and sizes of earrings he wears and how he carries himself though. I definitely think its a look a guy can pull off.
thehead Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 It could be something as simple as he think it's a cool look. Are you worried he's gay?
Author snug.bunny Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 It could be something as simple as he think it's a cool look. Are you worried he's gay? That is my thought as well... No, I am not worried. Even if he were gay, I would love him no less. I was surprised that his parents allowed it, I guess because he is only 17 and a non-adult. Not that getting your ear pierced is something that is supposed to be reserved for when you're an adult. They're strict with certain things, for instance, he was befriended by a 21 year old, and they disapproved of it and my younger cousin is not allowed to hang out with him. As far as females liking males with their ears pierced, that is a personal preference. Though, I have heard females comment on men they were dating who had their ear pierced, and questioned their sexual orientation and/or thought it was a sign of their "sexual taste" (I.e. kinkyness, s&m "stuff"...)
Author snug.bunny Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 I don't think males that wear earrings are homosexual. I don't either. The original comments about questioning one's sexuality, came from my Aunt, which I posted. For some segments of society this is seen as cool and they follow each other like sheep. Certainly nowadays there is nothing original about a male with earrings. It is basically an overdone trendy thing with many followers. Agreed. Unfortunately in some circles men with earrings are viewed in a very negative manner. Don't ever look for a job with earrings if you are a man. Agree with this too. In the end the earrings are not as bad as a tattoo because at the end of the day the earrings can be removed whereas the tattoo is forever. That is your personal opinion. Shared by some, others not. BTW, many men also die the hair blonde, wear Capri pants, do the eyebrows, and walk around with a purse just like the ladies do. Not my style, but to each his own. That would be a "metrosexual". Yes, many women find that look appealing/sexy, others not so much. If you people want to be copy kats at least copy something that is reversible. Within this context earrings are not as bad as tattoos. Again, that is your own personal opinion, and this thread isn't about a comparison of the two.
RepairMinded Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I think he might be a pirate. Does he have a peg leg too?
KR10N Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 It doesn't mean he's gay. Lots of guys have/had their ears pierced. Sometimes they grow out of it. An example of the 'ear piercing phase'... Mike Shinoda (musician) - not gay.
Feelin Frisky Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Totally not for me. I don't know how a man wakes up with ear rings on or puts them on and feels like a man. Does not compute. I don't have any kids so thankfully I won't have a son disappoint me in that regard. To some guys, it's just a chip on the shoulder and a way to get under daddy's skin. Stupid.
