kissmeprobie | Tony's sexuality

Hi y'all,

Just wanted to start a little healthy discussion/debate about Tony's sexuality. Do you think he is Tim-sexual, bi-sexual, homosexual, pan-sexual etc? How do you factor his on-screen relations in regards to his sexuality, particularly Jeanne Benoit?

Personally, I see Tony as being very gay and all his talk of women is over-compensating. His infactuation with Tim has been there since the very beginning. I see him being mostly celibate and having slept with women in his past until he realised he was gay and sort of stopped the sex all together. Alas, the sexual frustration he gets from working round Tim day in and day out has driven him into the arms of a few men, but he tries to forget about that. For me, the forced relationship with Jeanne Benoit actually helped sell him as gay to me, he may have fallen in love with her eventually but I think a part of that was acting and sex, sex which he was reluctant about to begin with. It was supposed to be a fake relationship to begin with but I think that can be extended to include the fact it was fake because he is gay. Cole Porter married and loved his wife but that didn't make him any less gay.

What are your thoughts?

I believe that Tony thinks he is straight, and maybe tries to convince himself that he is straight. I don't think he's exclusively gay, but he definitely has some same-sex attraction going on and is at the very least bisexual. I think he appreciates beautiful women, but possibly more in an aesthetic manner rather than a sexual manner. He might try to convince himself that he wants to have sex with them, but the fact that we haven't seen him go on a second date with anyone but Jeanne -- and she was an assignment -- leads me to wonder why.

With Tim, he's probably been fighting his attraction since Day 1. He probably tells himself that it's inappropriate due to the fact that they work together, or he tells himself that he couldn't possibly be attracted to Probie/McGeek/whatever he calls him, or he tells himself that duh, Timmy is a GUY, and Tony doesn't do guys (yeah right.)

I agree with most of your comments, except for the fact Tony codes gay to me. I can see him being asthetically attracted to women, makes it easier to drool over them, but when it comes to intimacy and sex, a woman's body is too soft, smells too sweet, too fragile, and even if it's not fragile it still scares him (like Ziva).

I don't think Tim is his usual type, he's not tanned or muscular but he smells right and he feels right, not that he's ever really got to feel him and he repeatedly tells himself that he doesn't want to feel Tim like that anyway.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write out your thoughts. It's interesting to read and also helps me understand my own. Thanks again :)
