Oh yes!
We can't have everything in life, sometimes we have to make choices and pick what's offered to us or what we can get.
Even in a relationship most gay men still fool around with others.
Every time I walk around DuPont I see gay men with or without a partner who own an entire townhouse. I don't think having of partner (with or without sex) makes much of a difference in their lives but it's becoming a social status, a sign of prestige.
