| Topic | When gay men have stereotypical lisps, is it natural or put on? |
| Xelltrix 12/29/17 4:42:57 PM #12: | It's generally a conscious effort for some, an unconscious tick in others, and just plain natural speaking voices for the rest. The gay guys that do it consciously, do so to make themselves easier to identify, though plenty of straight and gay men have a lisp either way. Too lazy to look right now, but I remember seeing an experiment when they had some guys who had lisps under anesthesia and they would lose the lisp while they were under. Sometimes The big thing skewing these numbers, however, is confirmation bias. You assume the lisp means someone is gay and don't keep track of how many times you've been wrong about the assumptions versus how many times you have been right. You also aren't likely to realize how many guys without lisps are gay since you're not looking for it. --- Reading this post may induce one or more of the following: Nausea / Butt-Hurt / Lulz / UM?
