Does ideal love really exist? Meant as a feeling that lasts forever, the one that makes your eyes sparkle just mentioning the name of the one you love, which puts you in a good mood at the mere sight of her/him, and always gives you new emotions even after years? Today, given the ease with which we take and leave each other without much thought, without worrying at all about children and partner(s), it would seem not. In recent years, the male-female relationship is increasingly adopting what has always been a prerogative of the gay world: promiscuity (not strictly meant as sexual habits). Among the many gay stories I received, the common denominator in all of them is this extreme need to change while searching for the ideal partner (so to say), and only an insignificant percentage, I am obviously referring to what I have read, of gay couples love each other for life. I was hugely surprised, however, to find out that the feeling born between two males, one of whom has always believed himself to be heterosexual and the other to have always been aware of his homosexuality turns out to be much stronger than the previous ones (to this day I still get chills seeing, how nine years later, Mario and Roberto still look at each other). This led me to think that the difference is all in the complicity that is built. In unions, sooner or later love runs out, the different affinities and the little flaws that were barely noticeable get magnified until they implode. And as mentioned, unlike a few generations ago, today we do not worry about the children or keeping faith to the bond with which one is united. Piece of paper that, for so many years has been the alibi of gay couples to mask the desire for change. This new - straight/bisexual-gay couples have always existed, but they were sexual relationships at the end of which each person went back to his or her life - type of couple instead, seems more functional. And no longer worrying about living together, can be considered as an actual relationship. The homosexual person sees in the heterosexual what he has always dreamed of: the male archetype (what one does in bed is irrelevant), the guide, the one he can delegate important decisions to, the strong half of the couple, basically... security. The heterosexual on the other hand, aware of this newfound role, is flattered by it and is encouraged to keep it. He rarely suffers from jealousy. Of course, how can he, a male, be jealous of a man? Complicity in discovering common flaws and similar needs, interests and preferences do the rest.
