“In intercourse between men, one of the partners typically assumes the role of an insertive partner (top) while the other assumes a receptive role (bottom). The authors conclude with this tantalizing suggestion: “it is possible that similar effects may be found in opposite-sex relationships: women may be able to identify submissive versus dominant men from brief observations of appearance or behavior.” Accurate Identification of a Preference for Insertive Versus Receptive Intercourse from Static Facial Cues of Gay Men

Interestingly, they chose the correct roles at a rate better than chance, although they were biased towards choosing the male-stereotypical “top” role.Īs you might have guessed, the participants were using cues related to masculinity (e.g., thick eyebrows, large noses) to make their choices. The participants were asked to look at 200 photographs of gay men found on an online dating site (100 tops, 100 bottoms) and categorize them as tops or bottoms. To find out, the authors of this study recruited 23 participants from Amazon’s mTurk (including 7 females). But can facial differences be used to distinguish between different types of gay men - specifically, those who define themselves as “tops” versus “bottoms”? Hillary Demmon, who co-produced and co-directed the film with Montgomery's nephew, Robert Clift, said that the Hollywood studio system was "definitely not accustomed to that level of independence.It’s been known for a while that it takes less than a second for people to use their internal “gaydar” to decide if they think a man is homosexual or heterosexual, and such snap judgements tend to be right.

In fact, Clift was such a free spirit - and so ahead of his time - that he reportedly refused to sign any studio contract that might stipulate that he get married or that could force him to take roles he didn't feel suited for. Larson quipped that Clift "was closer to Jerry Lewis on-screen than he was to Montgomery Clift on-screen," adding, "He was very much a clown himself."

Actor Jack Larson, one of Clift's alleged former partners, claimed his day-to-day personality stood in sharp contrast to the brooding figure we saw on the silver screen.

The film argues that Clift was actually comfortable enough in his own skin to be openly affectionate with other men, and he allegedly wasn't overly concerned with his sexuality at all. In the book James Dean: The Biography, author Val Holley claimed Brackett "took in when almost no one else believed in him" and felt their relationship was the real deal, as noted by Real James Dean.īut in the documentary, Making Montgomery Clift, a different picture of the A Place in the Sun star emerged (via The Advocate). Talking to Ronald Martinetti for his biography, The James Dean Story, advertising exec Rogers Brackett claimed, "I loved him, and Jimmy loved me" (via Salon).

Composer Alec Wilder claimed "they were definitely a couple," adding, "Of course, the words 'sexual fidelity' would be unknown in each of their vocabularies."īrando wasn't Dean's only alleged same-sex conquest. He'd reportedly wait outside Brando's apartment like a "puppy dog," and ask Brando to burn him with cigarettes during sex (per the Daily Mail). In the biography James Dean: Tomorrow Never Comes, authors Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince alleged that Dean enjoyed "kinky sado-masochistic sex" with actor Marlon Brando (via Express).

Judging by other reports, Dean may have occasionally enjoyed going through life with both hands tied behind his back.
