I want to throw this out there and see if anyone has an opinion on this.
As my confidant and I were walking around Boston on Saturday we got into a
discussion about the aforementioned subject. I think that gay men who get
earrings and contain them installed in their left ear are simply hypocrits
to everything we claim we are against. I mean, if you are gay and are
trying to overtake yourself off as straight, is that not hypocritical? I
know that the old rules about the left and right ears is no longer used,
but some of my friends got earrings, and they are gay, and position them in
their left ears. They say they keep people guessing, I say that one look
at them, minus the earring, and they would not have to guess as to their
Astrological Benefits of Ear Piercing for Males
In many cultures, ear piercings have long been seen as a tradition for women, but today, individuals of all genders can freely embrace and appreciate ear piercings without feeling self-conscious. Fashion truly has a delightful way of keeping us on our toes. But have you ever wondered, What are the benefits of ear piercing for males? Getting your ears pierced offers many wonderful benefits beyond just enhancing your look. It is one of the 16 sacraments that Hindus perform to represent the various phases of life.
This sacred Indian practice is also known as Karna Vedha. It is also a representation of cultural heritage and upbringing. However, if you are wondering for ear piercing for men which side is beneficial, then remember, for each gender, there is a separate side. Girls get their left ear pierced first, and boys get their right ear pierced first. The reason for this is that the right side of the body is viewed as masculine and the left as feminine.

<p>Most white collar workers in DC seem to be clean-shaven except for mustaches usually. And no piercings. </p>

Why Did We Grow Up Thinking a Piercing in the Right Ear Was Gay?
On the playground, it was a truth so firmly established that defying it meant social suicide: If you have an earring in your right ear, it means you’re gay. We accepted it as gospel and never questioned its validity.
It may have been the subtle homophobia of my Illinois community in the ’90s. But as I grew up, it seemed like everyone I met, no matter their place of origin, knew and understood the earring code, as arbitrary as it seems.
It was even solidified in the New York Times: A 1991 report said gay men “often [wore] a single piece of jewelry in the right ear to indicate sexual preference.” In 2009, the Times covered it yet again, in TMagazine: “the rule of thumb has always been that the right ear is the gay one,” the author wrote about his own piercing journey.
Historically speaking, the truth is more complex. Earrings on guys have signified many things over the years, such as social stature or religious affiliation. In his book The Naked Man: A Study of the Male Body, Desmond Morris explains tha
