    There are many reasons why someone might act this way, so this by itself is not a surefire sign that he’s gay. However, if you notice this alongside several other behaviors from this list, it could be a meaningful indicator. [1]

    It’s normal for relationships to ebb and flow. However, if there's a decline that never picks up again or if he tries to convince you that all relationships eventually fizzle out sexually, it might mean he is hiding his true self. [2] Other signs include:
    • He seems turned off when you get intimate
    • He’s less passionate or mechanical in bed
    • There’s a lack of pleasurable foreplay
    • He accuses you of being sex-obsessed when you express normal needs
3

His dirty talk or fantasies involve other men.

    If it comes up infrequently and his arousal disappears when you’re not involved, it’s probably just a kink or fetish about a specific scenario. If he regularly expresses this desire, though, it’s possible he has an attraction to other men. [3]
    • Frequent pressure for a threesome with 2 men or a scenario where you watch him and another man are possible signs.
    • There are a lot of reasons a straight man might have these fantasies, including cuckolding kinks or even past sexual abuse. Be sensitive as you approach this topic.

Keep in mind that he could be bisexual, pansexual, or another LGBTQ identity.

    If you believe your boyfriend loves and cares for you but he "seems to be gay," keep in mind that he could be bisexual , pansexual , or interested in men.  For instance, if he is pansexual, (attracted to all genders regardless of sex) bisexual (attracted to two genders, typically men and women), or queer (not heterosexual) there's a chance he loves you and is attracted to you, but he's still interested in men or has had relationships with men--he could also be questioning his sexual orientation.
    • There are several identities in which someone can be interested in more than one gender, so don't think he's "just gay".
    • Don't blatantly ask him, "Are you bisexual?". This is rude and can surprise him. Instead, approach the topic by sitting down and asking him, "I had a question, I was wondering if you are interested in men?" If he says he is interested in men, also ask him if he's attracted to you/women.
5

He watches gay pornography by himself.

    This is especially true if he’s watching it with you. If you stumble upon evidence of gay porn on his computer or phone, though, that may be a little different. This alone isn't a reliable sign, but it may mean he’s withholding sexual information. [4] See if:
    • He erases his browser history regularly.
    • You find pop-ups of gay porn on your/his computer or stored video files.
    • He aggressively denies searching for or watching gay scenes.

    When you’re in public or around other people, watch to see where his attention goes. If he’s deliberately looking at no one or if his gaze falls frequently on other men, he may be hiding a secret attraction. He could also be asexual or not interested in relationships if he doesn't check out anyone. [5]
    • It’s likely a straight guy would try to avoid looking at other women while you’re around to avoid offending you. Look for subtle signs, not obvious gestures.
    • If he checks out men and women equally, it’s possible he’s bisexual.
7

He’s overly affectionate with other men.

    Observe how he acts in social settings. If he’s gay, he might thrive on other men’s attention, frequently touch or hug them, or exchange flirty comments with them (especially about their physical appearance). [6] Other signs might be:
    • He brags about getting hit on or asked out by other men
    • He gushes about other men’s bodies or personalities to you

    Look for signs of intimacy beyond typical friendship. If you feel excluded or like a third wheel when you’re with your boyfriend and his BFF, he might have secret feelings for his friend. [7] Some signs might be:
    • He gives lavish gifts to his male friend
    • They exchange secret looks or whisper to each other around other people
    • You get the feeling you “walked in on something” when you encounter them together

He has many LGBTQ friends.

    Notice if he frequently hangs out with his gay friends, or joins them on nights out at LGBTQ+ bars and clubs. His social circle could reflect his sexual orientation, even if he’s not 100% aware of it. [8]
    • He might also keep his friend group secret from you. There’s a chance he’d be outed if you saw him with them, or he might have a secret relationship with someone in the group. [9]

    They think, “If I act like I don’t like gay men, no one will think I am one.” Notice if he acts uncomfortable around gay men, regularly makes homophobic comments or jokes, or deliberately never talks about anything remotely gay. [10]
    • This is often referred to as internalized homophobia.
    • Another indicator could be an obsession with knowing another person's sexuality, like “needing” to know if someone is LGBTQ+ or identifying others solely on their sexual orientation. [11]

    If his relatives are highly anti-gay, he may not feel safe or welcome to come out to them. He might also be wrestling with internalized homophobia or self-loathing because of the conflict between his identity and his upbringing. [12] He may fear repercussions like:
    • Being kicked out of his house or shunned
    • Losing financial support
    • In extreme cases, physical violence

    You might notice a popular LGBTQ dating app like Grindr or Scruff, or it’s possible he’s using apps like Tinder or Hinge with the preferences set to men. Look for excessive texting or messaging at odd hours. [13]
    • He might use social media to coordinate dates or hookups. Look at his profiles for suspicious followers, and look at who he follows as well. [14]
    • It’s not recommended to catfish your boyfriend on an app or comb through his phone without his knowledge since this is a major violation of his privacy.

    Notice how you find out about it. If he tells you himself, he might be confident in his sexuality and just sharing a past experience. If someone else told you or he told you while he was drunk, it could be a sign he’s struggling and can’t talk about it openly. [15]
    • An encounter in his teen or college years is more likely to mean he’s gay or queer than an experience later in life, which could have more complex explanations. [16]

    If your suspicions are strong, a safe and warm conversation will clear things up faster and bring peace of mind. [17] Remember, sexuality is highly complex and includes more than just gay and straight. Your boyfriend could be bisexual, asexual, or only slightly attracted to men while preferring an emotional and physical relationship with women. [18]

      Tips

      • Don’t rely on gay stereotypes like an effeminate voice or walk, flashy or tight clothing, his TV and music preferences, or being a neat freak to determine your boyfriend’s sexuality. There are many gay men that exhibit none of these traits, as well as many straight men that do.
        Thanks
      • You did not cause your boyfriend to be gay or to engage in secretive behavior. If your boyfriend is sneaking around to meet other men, remember that his actions are about him and his unmet needs, not you.
        Thanks
      • Keep in mind he could also identify as bisexual or pansexual.

      Warnings

      • For the social, emotional, and physical well-being of your boyfriend, don't discuss his sexuality with others or publicly out him. It’s possible that he is not fully aware of his own sexuality yet, or he's hiding it because of safety concerns. A forced outing can be highly damaging to his mental health and personal relationships.
        Thanks
