Hairy straight Male dude here. I think I had the closest experience to "spend one day gay". Gotta tell you, it wasn't a confidence booster for me :/
TLDR/Opinion; Based on what I saw, the one good thing about being gay is that it's a weight off your shoulders since gay dudes put in mutual effort to escalate things with you, unlike women who play games or whatever it is you call "playing hard to get". But I have to disagree wwith you. As a hetrosexual person talking to a gay person, going for confidence boosting would just lead the gay dudes on. That is TORTURE for them and I don't want them to feel that way. Being in this situation will not leave any sexual or social satisfaction for me. It would just ruin a friendship that I could have with a gay person.
I was sort of friends with a guy who I later found out was gay. I decided to get to know this person because we had no mutual friends and thus, I can feel free to talk about male related sexual stuff without me telling his friends stupid shit about me for doing so. I basically asked him how to shave my pubes and all sorts of sexual questions and techniques/positions he prefers (because I am a virgin. still am. but today, a more knowledgeable one). He taught me how to shave, and use lube, and condoms all that stuff. He said I'm good looking too and complimented my eyes or something, but I get that a lot and I don't think much of it when a guy says it (which doesn't make sense because /r/rateme rated me as an average of 5.5/10 on my alt account). But I disgress....
Then he said, "we should watch porn together" and somewhere down the line he said "masturbate me". I rejected both propositions and told him that "I'm not gay, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to lead you on". I felt REALLY bad, because I lead him on and all that. I know that the feeling of rejection ain't that nice especially when you reach THIS situation with someone. He messaged me a week later to hangout and do some "activities" again. Even though he was being persistent, I just told him "thanks for all the information you gave me, but ... [blabla something something let's just be friends]" and I never talked to him again out of fear of stuff like this happening again.
I wish I was biologically gay. No BS or games to play. Women are always expecting me to lead an interaction and all that shit and it's a lot of pressure on my inexperienced shoulders. I'm socially inept and don't know what I'm doing and I fear I come off as a rapist or harasser if I "persist" on being physical with a girl. I don't know if she thinks of me as the "safe guy" or if she's DTF me. So what it ends up looking like is that I'm disinterested in a girl sexually when I'm on a date due to lack of escalation, and I end up being friendzoned instead.
