The swimming club I'm part of got a new coah - Mikkel.
We already had two female coaches and a 50-something guy, so when we got the news we were getting a new male coah - that used to be part of the national swimming team - everyone got excited.
He got the wednesdays, which is normally a dead day with not a lot of swimmers showing up. But that changed quite a bit last week, when he came for the first time. Word-of-mouth quickly spread on the new coach, who was accidently young, hot and very flirtatious. There was one catch though - he appeared to be straight as an arrow.
When I say appear, I can explain: he is straight, but he knows that he coaches a gay & lesbian club, with 85% of them being men... and we know how excited gay men get with a new toy ;) So it was amazing how at ease he felt among us, not afraid or insecure how usually straight guys feel when surrounded by gay guys. He is actually too at ease with the fact - getting a shower, going to the sauna, even a beer after practice. And that's what troubles everyone - not that we are complayning, but there must be something to him if he's so comfortable and enjoys all the attention is getting (even though coming from other men). The thought of him being either bi-curious crossed everyone's minds and so there's this enigmatic feeling surrounding him.
Or maybe it's our prejudices kicking in. Just like everyone else, we can't avoid thinking that there's something wrong with a straight guy being too intimate (in a socail way) with other gay guys - it simply can't happen, and if it does it's because something's not right. We have it so impregnated in our minds (that something is either black or white), that it's very difficult to see the world through a rainbow glass.
I am sure it is just our secret wish of scoring him and telling everybody how we turn a straight guy, or the enigma/forbidden temptation he is that makes all this so hard to disregard, but boy isn't he something!!!
