Tom Daley: 'I always knew I was attracted to guys'

So did I. Since age 3.

Duh.. we knew too Tom, ever since you were a little gay at 14. Don't worry though, I'm sure your "attraction" to women will pass.

Still bi?

Yes, R3.

[quote]I don’t put a particular label on any of it because right now I’m in a relationship with a guy, but I still have sexual feelings towards girls.

Not only is Tom bi, one DLB has sexual feelings toward girls.

Creepiest couple ever. A 20 year old bisexual and his 40 something year old bi curious bf, that is trying to look 18.

Also according to Tom they met at some award show, now they met at a friend's dinner party.

I thought they met at the Kids Choice Awards?

I smell something fishy, and I'm not talking about Tom's breath after a hetero hook up with one of the girls he still finds so sexually attractive.

I can't wait until they reach the 3-way stage of this doomed relationship. M - M - M

Why would it surprise anyone that theres some trace of opposite sex attraction there? After all homosexuality is essentially faulty wiring -- gloriously, , advantageously so, taken along with the whole suite of non-typical wiring that’s left a mark on human society, culture and artistic achievements such as left-handedness, synesthesia , higher functioning autism, bi-polar -- faulty wiring cannot be relied on to be consistently un-faulty

His bi, I bet when DLB dumps him in a year or two for a younger guy, Tom will go back to chicks. The two them them and their relationship is just so.... yuck!

Oh and among those achievements of Civilisation you will NOT find diving

r8 took the words out of my mouth. TD has access to so much top quality sports industry dick. DLB better enjoy that tight ass while it lasts! And while it's still tight.

Can someone translate this verbiage in intelligible language?

R10 Tom is not into chicks, have you ever seen him walk?

[quote]Why would it surprise anyone that theres some trace of opposite sex attraction there? After all homosexuality is essentially faulty wiring

Male sexual orientation is rigid, whether you're gay or straight. In fact, it is even more rigid for gay men. Straight men still feel some arousal when exposed to films of men having sex (there are studies on that). Gay men feel nothing when they're exposed to women.

“Straight men still feel some arousal when exposed to films of men having sex (there are studies on that)” Care to cite them?

“Gay men feel nothing when they're exposed to women"

So apparently there is NO heterosexuality just degrees of homosexuality? LOL OK

[quote]So apparently there is NO heterosexuality just degrees of homosexuality? LOL OK

Yes, that's exactly what I meant- that opposite-sex attraction doesn't exist. You illiterate cunt.

Tom rigidly staring at hottie!

So young Mr. Daley still does chicks. Has dad joined in?

Well his 40 something year old boyfriend has sexual feelings for women too.

Yes, R20. See R5.

OK R17, Poe’s law dictates I ask whether that was sarcasm or nah...or some queer supremacy shit

Let’s be, ahem, straight are you claiming that:

Kinsey 0s (zero attraction to same sex) effectively don’t exist? Kinsey 6s are the only pure monosexual orientation?

Well if that is so then the scale is fucked, and any data premised upon it is meaningless including your so-called studies, presumably

Yes, Tom. I had sexual feelings for women, too.

He basically said that he had attraction to both men/boys and women/girls when he was young and thought that was normal. HIs attraction to boys apparently didn't come alive until he met DLB.

"I guess it has always been in the back of my head, but you never really know. I’d never had feelings for a person along those lines. I’d been in relationships with girls where I’d had sexual feelings, but it became so much more intense when I met Lance. I thought, ‘Whoa, this is weird. Why am I having these feelings for somebody?’

“I always knew that I had that attraction to guys, but I just thought that was a usual thing, being attracted to guys and girls. It was only when I met Lance I started having such strong feelings.”

Oh dear is there a whiff of fear in the wind...will they be loading Kinsey 6s on cattle trucks....gulags.....lobotomies again????

R19, Rob Daley died of cancer in 2011.

[quote]“I always knew that I had that attraction to guys, but I just thought that was a usual thing, being attracted to guys and girls. It was only when I met Lance I started having such strong feelings.”

Ah yes, because someone who has been around as many gorgeous men as Daley just couldn't handle the sexual magnetism of Dustin Lance Black

You can't blame Tom for presenting a simplified story of his development, his meeting DLB and that being his first indication that he was gay. He does have a public image to maintain and he does rely a great deal on promo deals for his income, so that image is important to him.

So what if he really met DLB at some tween awards ceremony where Dustin was trawling for twink? Or that Tom probably had experiences with men/boys before meeting him? Or that those relationships with girls were all quite clearly PR deals to deflect the public suspicion that he was a flamer? The story he tells is a positive one.

Bi trash.

Disappointed.

Dustin Lance Black is 41? He looks the same age as Daley. Weird.

R15, having no arousal to women in porn doesn't mean you can't be attracted to women. Gay men are drawn to stronger women. The women in porn are disgusting and objectified. Not being aroused by them doesn't mean a gay man cannot be aroused by women. There are many levels of attraction.

R18 ... that clip is funny. But, CMON ...........that guy was HOT. If I'd been standing by him, I might have licked him.

R30 --- you must be DLB .........looks same age as Daley ? Ha.

Oh dear it sounds to me like Tom Daley is still doing damage control on his image. His popularity seems to have dipped quite alot since he came out, and of course his relationship to DLB has done no favors either. I have no idea if he's attracted to girls, my guess is he's mostly gay, and this is largely being said to give his female fans some hope. he hardly seems to be in the press much now, and his publicists must be getting desperate.

R33, don't forget they're going to lick Putin's ass in anti-gay Russia this year, they need to "hetero up" his image

[R10] Somehow I doubt this very much!

[quote]and this is largely being said to give his female fans some hope.

He has always said he was bi since he came out. This is nothing new.

R36, no he did actually say he's gay later in interviews, but now his marketing team is working hard to make him "bi" again.

“I always knew that I had that attraction to guys, but I just thought that was a usual thing, being attracted to guys and girls. It was only when I met Lance I started having such strong feelings.” ~ This is code for: I finally had a guy fuck my hot tight ass ... and I really really liked it.

[R37] I think it's too late, he'll never go back to how he was before coming out. he will slowly fade into the distance now. You see it's exactly this kind of situation that makes celebs nervous about coming out at all. You can't really blame them for protecting their careers. although it does seem tragic that a person has to forever pretend to be something their not just to keep fangirls from throwing fits of hysteria.

He could raise his profile by dating another celebrity who is out, but there aren't many guys his age to date. Most celebs and athletes dont publicly come out until they are well past 30.

He's not going to date another celebrity. I see him marrying DLB and having his babies.

R37, when did Daley say he was gay?

Sounds like Darren Criss but he's still in the closet

R9, how is being gay faulty wiring? Both men and women are beautiful; anyone who isn't afraid of sexuality knows this. There just happens to be men who fiend male beauty more to their liking than female beauty (and vice versa). I really don't see anything strange at all about the attraction. Scientists and philosophers can argue forever about it, but it's pretty simple. Some.men find James Dean prettier than Liz Taylor. It's just the way it is. And, as one of the few believers in a deity on this forum, I don't believe it's an accident. Most of the greatest artists, writers and thinkwers in history have been gay,lesbian or bi.

So stupid, most, all gay men can look at a beautiful woman and find her attractive, but there is a difference in that and sexual attraction. I look at those pictures of models on the Christy Turlignton thread and think those women are so beautiful, but I don't want to have sex with them.

I think some gay men think all attraction is sexual attraction, which is so retarded.

Anyway as of Tom and DLB, it is such a weird and gross relationship, but them again bisexuals are weird and gross.

So what.

[quote]His popularity seems to have dipped quite alot since he came out

Initially it seemed that the reaction to Tom coming out was positive, but is there evidence that his popularity is now subsiding afterall?

Does he still have that deal with Adidas? I think he does and I think that was his one major deal, so if he still has that I don't think he would be too worried in the short-term. I know that he really wants to go into TV work, presenting and so on. His ITV diving show has been pulled but it did okay I think, running to a second series.

I'm guessing he's the major money-earner not DLB (has he had a script greenlit lately?).

Why did Tom have to have a sexual relationship with DLB at such a young age?

[quote]Why did Tom have to have a sexual relationship with DLB at such a young age?

Because DLB is a witch who cast some kind of heinous spell on the lad?

Damn you Tom Daley for confronting us with our own feelings of inadequacy over our inability to live up to our basic evolutionary biological functions!!!!

I think it was a good interview. Gay/bi, who cares, it's obviously not an issue for him or dlb.

Tbh I think he's copped more flack for the whole Seaworld endorsement.

Like the poster said earlier, I can't see him dating another celeb. Him and dlb seem pretty much set and the discussion about kids has obviously been had.

Dead to me now! Now it makes sense... shilling for all that fish at SeaWorld!

Please together for ever, wait til Tom turns maybe..what, 22 maybe 23, then DLB will have ditched him for another 19 year old. DLB seems afraid of ageing, he acquires his youth vicariously through his 18-20 year old boyfriends.

I hope I am wrong, I really do, but I can't help but feel Daley will be a train wreak by 30, and I wouldn't be shocked if he does end up marrying a woman.

Tom you betrayed us! It’s like we awarded you the gold medal of our gay hearts and now you’ve been tested positive for a banned fishy substance. Give it back you filthy bislut!

[quote]This is code for: I finally had a guy fuck my hot tight ass ... and I really really liked it.

Since DLB is known to be an exclusive bottom, it's possible that Tom is the top, actually.

[quote]Since DLB is known to be an exclusive bottom,

Who are you? His gynecologist???

R58, guys who know DLB from California have posted about his bottom status all over the Internet.

It's not a secret on social media.

I assume this is your first time reading about DLB?

Tom is not bi, he took back the "I fancy girls." comment and said "I'm gay." The fangurls should let go.

R49 Understands nothing about gay men.

That's not what he said in this latest interview, R60.

The fact that he he has to always be like, "but don't worry, I like girls so I'm still normal" is annoying.

I honestly doubt that the reason for Daley not being as famous as he used to be is due to him being gay. I think it's more to do with the fact that he just hasn't done much since his show got canceled. People are fickle. I imagine that he'll start getting more exposure again once the Olympics in Brazil are on.

[quote]guys who know DLB from California have posted about his bottom status all over the Internet.

r59 I'm sure there are loads of people on the internet who claim to know what his status is, but I don't see how any one person can know whether he's exclusively a top, bottom or versatile. More to the point, I wouldn't necessarily believe anyone on the internet who claimed to know him (or any famous people) and especially not if they claim to know so much about him that they know what he does in bed all the time.

God I hope if DLB does dump him for younger ass he does it soon. Young Tom still has years left in his prime as a young, hot athlete. He can and needs to be sampling everything out there while he's the cream of the crop.

Surely they have an open relationship? I can't imagine either of them passing up the opportunities they must have all the time; esp Tom.

DLB is definitely not an exclusive top. Remember when he took pictures of himself getting fucked by the porn star, who later leaked the pics?

(Sorry, I was too hasty. By "porn star," I of course meant "skank who did cam shows.")

R66, “he’s the cream of the crop”

Only if that’s a crop of supperating pus filled boils

[quote]He can and needs to be sampling everything out there while he's the cream of the crop.

Why, R66?

I’ve smashed my Tom Daley limited edition commemorative Olympics hot beverage mug though not before hot tears had o’er-brimmed it. I advise others to take a similar course of action

We lost another good one :(

I kinda think Miss Daley's ass could turn anyone into a top.

Is it unethical to suggest we capture him so he can be deprogrammed? His male nanny must know some mormon brainwashing techniques

His popularity is way down now that he is an out fag

If anything, maybe just slightly R76. He's still very popular with females, especially young girls.

R77, the girls think he likes them too. As soon as they realize,they dump him

r78 doesn't know anything about teen girls in 2015.

He dived into our heart-shaped pool and then shit in the water

Oh Tom! How often I fantasied of inspecting your bronze medallion up close. But now you’re a bislut!

Bye, slut.

Anthony Rapp, Michael Urie , Elton John, all said they were bi when they were younger and look how that turned out. He'll figure it out.

R82, He’s young, he’ll get over this youthful silly same sex phase.

See how that works

Given it was love at first sight with DLB, if he is bisexual I wonder what kind of gals he goes for?

r30, if these 'gay' men you describe are aroused by women then they are bi, not gay.

Daley has consistently identified as bi. Does DLB identify as bi now? I hadn't heard that before.

[quote]Daley has consistently identified as bi.

No, he said he was gay, last year.

Surely they are bored of each other by now? Moreso probably from DLB's perspective. The kudos around Tom Daley has receded, much like his hairline.

The public interest went like this....A young promising, gifted Diver who won some medals.....whos Father died tragically.....who then won some medals at the Olympics.....who then came came out as gay/bi with the added public curiosity that he got involved with a guy nearly twice his age.

A few more medals to come id say, but then what?

A life of school/homework/diving practice, then straight into a monogamous relationship.

If he splits with DLB he could fill the rest of his twenties with catching up on all the DVD boxsets of TV series hes missed out on. Poor guy.

[quote]DLB is definitely not an exclusive top. Remember when he took pictures of himself getting fucked by the porn star, who later leaked the pics?

R68, I said that DLB was known to be an exclusive BOTTOM.

Read more carefully.

So yes, the pictures of DLB getting fucked bareback are more proof of his bottom status.

DLB could run rings round Tom Daley if he wanted to, what with all his exoerience of guys and all.

What do you think Tom sees in DLB?

Oh no! she’s not starting to lose her hair is she?!? Well that settles it then, the vultures are well and truly circling that relationship..much as that chickenhawk once circled

Where's the evidence that Tom is losing his hair?

He's only about 21.

Sadly, it does happen R93. All that chlorine can’t help

Any photos of Tom's supposed receding hairline?

A little tip for swimmers. If you wet your hair and body in a shower before you enter the pool your skin and hair take up much less chlorine.

When Ive seen Tom diving I like it when he gets out the pool and goes and showers while waiting for the scores. Love the how the hair on his legs forms waves when its wet and gets denser further up his inner thighs.

OOOHHH!!! Miss R97 has come over all unnecessary!

The irony is that whilst Tom Daley sought trophies, he [italic] was [/italic] DLB's trophy.

Isn't DLB a mor(m)on? That brand of semi-christianity has surely f'd up his sexuality, or at least added a sin/kink twist to his ole gay self

I remember when DLB won the Oscar for writing 'Milk' that he said he dreamed of being able to get married to a guy one day.

I wonder if Tom has ever been attracted to his twinky diving friend, Chris Mears?

Chris Mears:

R102 & R103 - what lovely photos ( and accompanying thoughts )

bump bump

No need to bump a thread after 24 minutes, r105 - DL really isn't that fast-moving.

What does bumping a thread mean or do? ( im new here )

Let's pause and take a moment to appreciate the hotness:

It gets it to the top of the thread-list, r107.

I'd fuck Tom Daley but I want to marry (or at least have a relationship with) Matthew Mitcham.

That's actually a pretty good interview even with the clickbaity headline and all.

Chris Mears -- naked ass:

And:

And:

R97 shame he's shaved/waxed/lasered his legs these days.

Maybe that's one of DLB's preferences, R115.

Chris Mears is more a thing a beauty than Tom.

R114 Chris has very beautiful body and he likes to show it.

Chris is supposedly straight, although his girlfriend is less pretty than he is, which makes me wonder.

What a pig. It’s all about the dollars and pounds. I’ll never trust a word out of that lying cockgobbler’s mouth again.

R112 R113 R114 - at a glance I thought it was Brent Corrigan.

Oh, for God's sake, WHO CARES? Tom Daley looks like he is 12, isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and, in the greater scheme of things, is fucking irrelevant. Just a an athlete in a VERY minor sport who was never meant to become a huge star. As for Dustin Lance Black, he looks like a cross between Justin Bieber and that Zelda character from the film Pet Sematary. He also has very little talent and, were it not for his shameless exploitation of the Gay Rights movement's history, he would be a complete nobody.

Why do we care about these losers? It's not like they are someone actually hot and relevant, so who gives a damn?

R122 - You are right, actually.

R122, they are both high-profile, successful gay celebrities who are in a relationship together.

That gives them a status as a power gay coupling.

The swimmer probably often said to himself: 'I can blow my competitors out the water.'

What swimmer?

R121, Chris Mears should be in gay porn, shouldn't he?

Yeah, R127. Damm. Love the furry legs and smooth chest.

Chris Mears -- ass in motion:

r122 So you wade thru 121 other posts just to spread some shade? In almost any gays mans sexual universe tom daley is worth some visual consideration. He may be dumb and a minor athlete but this in no way detracts from his youthful hotness, in fact it adds to it.

That Chris Mears is a far better version of the same type.

What type, R131?

Dark sexy twink with hairy thighs and a great ass.

Chris is prettier than Tom, if that's what you mean, yes.

R132 - type, as in young, dark haired, tanned, toned, athletic, cute faced sort of thing. At a glance they look quite similar but Chris has better facial features and I think his legs are better.

Chris has turned out well.

He had a scary incident several years ago when he had a diving accident and almost died from blood loss.

R135, do you like this photo?

His legs are on display here:

R136 - Is that what those scars are from? I didnt notice them in previous photos.

The thing that makes Tom Daley so attractive, I think, isn't just his physical attributes (which are all more than fine), but combined with the fact that he always seems so upbeat and positive. It's a very attractive quality.

Yes, that's his surgical scar where they had to operate on him.

But as you said, he has such nice features that sometimes people don't even notice it.

He was in a coma for several days and was given only a 5% chance of survival.

Here is Chris being interviewed on BBC at the 2012 Olympics if you want to hear what he sounds like.

Very polite & soft spoken. A little shyer than Tom, perhaps.

Here's another photo for the person who is a fan of Chris's legs:

Here's a GIF of Chris moving his legs around for a photo shoot:

Whoops - the photo at R142 didn't post properly:

Nice dark, hairy legs in this one:

Chris in black Calvin Klein undies:

And:

Bulge outline?

Chris & Tom's legs side by side:

Back view of Chris:

Damn, Chris is hot. I almost didn't open this thread because of the creepy "fans" of fugly DLB who populate any TD thread.

What surprises me is when gay guys only realise they're same sex attracted at puberty. I knew when I was 5.

I had the most intense emotional attraction to a boy in my class when I was about 6/7, but obviously sexual attraction doesn't really begin til you're in your early teens. I can't remember now if there were any other attractions between that earlier one and my properly developing a sexuality, but I don't think I ever had one as intense as that first one was, even after the sexual element developed.

Jesus Christ, enough with the Chris Mears pics.

R127 Maybe not, but at least show his stunning body as often as possible. R163 If you don't like, don't look.

R164 if you're so interested start a thread on him

Should we start a separate thread on Chris Mears, then?

We had one in 2012 during the London Olympics, but perhaps it's time for a new one?

What am I, bloody chopped liver?

His instagram is a mostly him taking pictures of his own face. Its a bit offputting.

Anyone who ever saw him walk or heard him speak also always knew he was attracted to guys.

R168, are you saying Chris is getting too cocky about his looks?

What are those marks around Chris's left nipple?

Presumably they are freckles or a birth mark.

I was watch a TV show about Seaworld last night and it was sickening, how Daley can be in partnership with such cunts is beyond me.

He is just a fame whore bisexual cunt.

Woah 173, you don't have to like him, but calling him the C word? That's too harsh. The kid is only 21 for god's sake, and seems like a nice friendly guy.

Bitchiness is a fun part of DL, but sometimes posters go too far because its anonymous.

Chris Mears and Tom look too similar to be a couple. It would be pure narcissism.

R170 - Im not sure if he is getting cocky about it but I think hes very aware of being pretty, from what he chooses to upload to instagram. But who can blame him i guess. It just bores me a bit when guys do face shot after face shot. I did like this pic with D.J. Adam Turner though.

R173 is right that Tom has always loved the spotlight and has always been an attention seeker.

But there's no need to make a personal attack on him.

And what is with the prejudice here towards bisexuals?

R177 He's not bisexual, that's the problem.

If I were a betting man, I say neither of them is bisexual.

Neither of whom, R179? Tom and Chris?

yes, R180

If Chris isn't bi, are you saying he is straight? Or gay?

Chris-tina still pretends she's "straight"?

Have you heard Chris is gay then, R183?

Tom Daley helped Team Great Britain win Team Gold at world championships!

Chris Mears and Jack Laugher won bronze and are both diving now individually. Chris is still looking so sexy :)

Tom supports Putin and his anti-gay policies he also posted a photo wearing "green men" uniform to support Russian invasion of Crimea.

Wow, sounds like Tom has a lot in common with Johhny Weir.

[quote]Tom supports Putin and his anti-gay policies he also posted a photo wearing "green men" uniform to support Russian invasion of Crimea.

WHAT?

That is such bullshit, R187. Any more delusions today?

Putin's ass slave.

DLB is a bottom? I recall him being a top in those bareback sex pictures that were leaked. Wait, nvm. That is him bottoming right?

God I love hypocrites. I should've saved the pictures of Austin Wolf barebacking when I had the chance.

This thread is full of deluded fangirls, dl doesn't fall for this bs pr talk. And lol at dlb being "bisexual" he's as much bisexual as bryan singer is.

Yeah, it's DLB that is the bottom, R191.

Tom is a top.

Tom is one of those "total top" guys who is disgusted of being gay. That's why he worships Putin.

I definitely started having crushes on guys around 3rd grade or so, but I didn't realize they were crushes until 7th grade.
