I think you're just curious to be honest.
I have the opportunity with what I do to share intimate views on topics that might not be so comfortable sharing in a more public fashion.
And what I hear and agree with really is that men and women, find beauty, beautiful. When there's an inward connection and they find the outside appealing, the line between genders isn't as black and white. So there's confusion. They are attracted basically and curious and desire more of that feeling, explore.
You're probably more comfortable with tradition, but find this person beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
I've heard many women say they find the female body, more attractive than a males. They just do, like a piece of art.
