Male Thelemite homoeroticism

Male Thelemites are not immune to using porn and prostituted women.

These types lack agape and eros.

What’s ironic is when straight men used to be against anal sex. Now they’re all for it thanks to internet porn. Another irony is how they would claim that homophobes are just closeted gay men. But they don’t look at how their porn usage promotes homoeroticism among straight men. Straight men now want women to engage in sex acts (such as anal), have a higher libido (like a man would) and be parodies of themselves in drag — in short, to have women look and act like gay men.

Straight men bond over the sexual use of women’s bodies. “Gentlemen’s clubs” are a euphemism for strip clubs and that’s their fraternity. There, they do not have to compete in their masculinity but are equal in their conquest and degradation of women as sex objects. Women’s bodies serve as the medium through which they demonstrate their love for each other. In their twisted cultural masculinity, they show brotherly love by hating women (note that no lesbians do anything remotely similar with men, because they want nothing to do with them, being solely attracted to other women).

Megan Diana Mackin commented: If you have ever gone to the sites, the horror woman-hate sites, it’s men wanking with other men, for other men, using the bodies of women filmed in abuse to do so. It’s a very homoerotic club, but it’s not unlike gang rape where men watch each other brutalize a female human being. There is a huge chunk of male sexuality that is — absolutely is — homoerotic, men performing for other men.

The Greeks have 3 main forms of love:

• philia: friendship
• eros: erotic, intimate, or sexually passionate
• agape: unconditional or divine

There are others:

• storge: empathy
• ludus: playful
• pragma: longstanding
• philatuia: self-love

Pornsick straight men do not have loving attitudes towards women, who they see as subhuman and inferior. However, they demonstrate philia and eros towards other men; that’s their brotherly love, which is their highest value. They masturbate with each other, and masturbate each other.

Additionally, they have been known to fuck gay men with the attitude that only the “bottom” is truly gay. They chase after trans-identified men and argue that they are still straight, because the TIM “looks like a woman” or is a “chick with a dick.” In prison and other sex-segregated spaces, they sometimes “go gay.” I think such men are really bisexual. There is an argument that homosexual acts do not necessarily equal homosexual orientation (such as experimentation); however, I think coining the term homoerotic shows the meaning of their behaviors and attitudes quite well.

Hugh Hefner talked about he only used women for sex but when he wanted to think and talk, he would do so with other men. He was known to watch porn while he was engaging in sex with the “bunnies” and have orgies where he watched other men fuck the women (a cuckold). Notice also his reference to women as “girls,” infantilizing them. Such men desire innocence because it allows them to take advantage of women with little wisdom or life experiences.

To demonstrate eros and how straight men do not have any eros (much less philia, storge, ludus and pragma) towards women, here are some quotes:

Now Eros makes a man really want, not a woman, but one particular woman.

In some mysterious but quite indisputable fashion the lover desires the Beloved herself, not the pleasure she can give.

-C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“The desire that a man sexually repressed feels for a strong woman is not the product of eros, but the expression of thanatos [death]. The man subjected under the tyranny of religious morality wants the possession of a free woman, not to free himself, but to put her in a cage with him. Male fantasies, suffocated by the authority of sin, focus on the powerful female sexuality not to seek communion. but to express violence and control in a practical and symbolic meaning….”

— Vanessa Rivera on Sex and God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality

If Crowley was such a woman-loving bisexual and helped so many women to magickal success, and some were as sexually libertine as he was, why weren’t they allowed to publish lesbian sex magick?

It has been my observation that straight men (who are probably bisexual) have homoerotic tendencies in their use of porn and prostitutes. They love other men, not women. Mentally, emotionally, socially, sexually and spiritually they relate with men, while using women as sex objects and for bonding with other men. For Thelemites, it is precisely why there is an advanced degree for gay male sex magick, but no such equivalent for lesbian sex magick.
