Human sexuality is powerful and erratic.
There is no "normal", and calling someone else "deviant" is a dangerous tactic. It can cause you to repress your own "deviant" impulses - with resulting psychological and social damage.
You have no such "deviant" impulses? You're pure as the driven snow? Bullshit. They may not involve other guys (unless that's something you've very deeply repressed), but whatever - just relax and let them bubble up. They're perfectly normal. |

There's a reason they call it "vanilla".
And not "normal". ;-)
