A mate of mine
(no, seriously, this is not about me) was very arty, and astonishingly camp, and was convinced for most of his teens that he must be in the gays, as most of his arty, literary friends were.

He even went to the lengths of meeting some guys over the net and eventually ended up with a boyfriend. It was only at the point of actually getting down to it with another man that he discovered he definitely didn't fancy blokes. Hence the immortal exchange:

'I'm sorry, I feel I may have led you down the garden path here, I'm actually straight'
'Then what am I doing sucking you off?'
[pause]
'I'm not really sure...'

Ace!
Well, a blow job is a blow job I suppose...

I've always wondered...
...whether he'd managed to get it up or not. Unfortunately at the time he told me the story I was laughing so hard I could barely speak.

Well it's always better to be 100% sure about these things.
Still, you think he would have practised trying to knock one out over a gay wank mag first.

Apparently
He had, and it was fine. It was just the stark-bollock naked, hairy reality that didn't suit.

"I'm not really sure..."
What a wonderfully British response to such a situation.

School
A guy called Keith at my school did the same; he like dIris Murdoch and Oscar Wilde so figured he was gay...turned out he wasnt.
