Because it’s hard to say, well, no, sometimes I’m attracted to men, but not all men. And it usually has nothing to do with the fact that they are men.
‘It’s often like a good torso is enough, you know? The little abs. Yes, that’s all. The lines. The torso is dangerous. A beautiful arm.
‘Yes, it doesn’t matter the gender or whatever. And I don’t know why it is like that, but it is. It’s strange because to me that suggests that sexuality is not just about men and women.
