    I’ve had my fair share of male on male dreams and that’s how I know I’m absolutely positively not a homosexual. I’ve never acted on a single one of those urges.

    hang on, you’re constantly dreaming of gay sex and repressing ongoing gay urges and that is supposed to prove you’re not gay?

      (tbf, because i have to be pedantic about this, sex dreams dont always represent repressed desires or anything. They can also be a way of your brain processing complex emotions. Dreams about about processing memories primarily, and sometimes your monkey ass subconcious mind cant process the complex stuff and just goes “sex!”. Thats why someone who does not at all want to fuck their family members might have an incest dream, for example. It can be very traumatic!)

        people can definitely have intrusive urges and dreams.
        this is not pedantry so much as removing unintended ambiguity. for this specific bit by a creep, the dreams and urges are not intrusive but repressed and denied, which is a different circumstance.
