Gay but attracted to Vivian Vance?

Let me start by saying that I don't want to provoke anyone. This is only a personal experience and I'd like to share it because it does make me feel uncomfortable.

So, I have recently realized that I'm experiencing a mild attraction to Vivian Vance. It's something that had never happened before, and I'm not happy about it mainly because I really like being gay. The thing that annoys me the most is that Ethel never tried on those hostess pants that would've showed off her buttocks to all it's deserved glory.

I have thought that maybe it has to do with hormonal changes brought about with age (I'm in my early thirties), and I wonder how to "correct" it, not because I have anything against women, but because I can't afford to buy the "I Love Lucy" DVD collection.

So yes. Is it hormonal? Is it that I'm just desperate for affection and looking for it where I don't really want, or need to find it? Could it be that I find Vivan Vance more relatable emotionally, because she is only on TV?

I don't know. I certainly don't want a relationship with a Vivan Vance because she's dead and cremated I believe. I don't have the time to spend searching for 30 year old ashes, but I would like to pour them over me while I masturbate.

More than anything, it's annoying, because as I have said before, I am happy as a gay man in spite of having sexual thoughts for Viv.

So, I would really welcome constructive comments and well, a solution of sorts, because as I have said before, this is an annoyance. Thanks.

I am weirdly attracted to William Frawley's pants.

Why are they up so high?

What is he hiding?

She did do some blue movies in the '20s.

IIRC, one was called "I Fuck Lucy"

No doubt what attracts you, OP, is her big potamus. Plus she is a little hippy.

Be sure to wrap that rascal, OP, or Ethel will have to have another "procedure," and wait till the boys find out about THAT.

Ethel had a legit voice and was reasonably attractive.

Why did she settle for a loveless marriage to a man 30 years her senior?

You have pure-V-VCD. Look for a qualified therapist in your area.

An obsession with Vivian Vance is a modern manifestation of the obsession a previous generation of gay men had for the post-menopausal Ethel Merman.

Although Vance and Merman were roughly the same age, television has kept Vance's image alive, while Merman went out with vinyl records.

OP may want to consider full immersion substitution-transference therapy in which he exposes himself to Merman albums and films to the exclusion of Lucy reruns.

Viv's ghost can still be seen attending luncheon at Schrafft's the third Thursday of every month. Do with this info what you will, OP

by Anonymousreply 31August 20, 2015 6:12 AM

Your tongue-in-cheek musings on Vance as a substitute for Merman are more appropriate than you may realize, R30. Not only was Vance in the chorus of the original production of Anything Goes, she was also Merman's understudy as Reno Sweeney.

I'm not sure attraction to an onscreen woman who you will never meet puts your gayness in question. But I know quite a few men who as they got older experienced sexual attraction to women; they slept with a few and enjoyed it but still identify as gay and pretty much exclusively date and hookup with men, with just the occasional woman. So youre not alone nor do you have anything to be worried about; after being openly gay for decades most aren't going to decide to become het even if they feel attracted to some women.

Viv was "separated" from her husband. She was still Mrs. Bagley and her son was Sherman Bagley.

then she must have cheated on her husband with Mr. Mooney.

Sorry to revive this thread from a couple months ago, but I need to vent. I'm not the OP, yet he and I apparently have a lot in common. I woke up around 5:00 this morning in the middle of a rather erotically charged dream with Vivian Vance in a starring role. I got out of bed to go pee, and only then realized there was pretty fresh cum in my underwear. I'm 42. I've had three wet dreams in my life -- two of them when I was 11 or 12, and one last night at age 42. I don't remember details of the dream apart from Ethel's presence. I think there was some butt play involved (me on the receiving end). I haven't watched Lucy in years, so this comes out of left field. And before you ask, I took a melatonin capsule around 10:30pm and don't use any other pills or anything to sleep.

If I was going to have a sexy dream about any Lucy co-star, I would have expected it to be that broad who played Marion Strong, the vice president of the fine arts league. This Vivian thing just gives me the creeps and I worry what effect an ongoing attraction might have on my relationship with my partner.

Seeing that Vivian married two gay men and a third that beat the hell out of her, the OP is probably attracted to her husbands.

Vivien Vance was in an abusive relationship? It seems that so many of the actresses back then were in abusive relationships at one point or another.

by Anonymousreply 55November 5, 2015 4:31 AM

Vivian was a lesbian. You are picking up on the fact that she is a woman who doesn't really care if her husbands make physical demands of her. She and William Frawley were one of television's first fictional lavender couples. Frawley was a longtime bachelor and gentlemanly woman-hater who loved baseball, booze, and barbershop quartets.
