How are men made Heterosexual?

If you consider that men are, since their childhood, made to realise that the part of them that desires men is going to be an immense social burden on them (this burden increases tremendously with the heterosexualisation of the society), and the part that likes women is going to get them enormous benefits, status and most of all -- manhood, the most coveted thing for men... then is it any wonder that men compete with each other to prove their 'heterosexuality' and consider themselves lucky to the extent they're able to mutilate their sexual need for men (often beyond recognition)?

Does that make heterosexuality natural?

Men and Women are not the same

It's a Western idea that men and women are the same.

But, just by ignoring the reality you cannot change it. And even in heterosexual practise, men and women are not really treated the same. It just becomes a way for the vested interests to ahve their way and find a misplaced moral excuse.

Actually, men end up being treated far less, unless they conform to heterosexual norms. Whatever is modern is not necessarily good and whatever is traditional is not necessarily bad.

It's really self-explanatory. We today have an extremely liberal society in Delhi and there's a lot of anonymity and freedom for girls and boys to date. But still, in my class, the young guys stick to each other. they do talk about girls, but if they had any pressing need for girls they'd just chase the innumerable 'available' girls there. The most interesting thing to note is that, despite all the social disapproval of male-male sexuality, they are extremely open to sexuality from another guy. If they see you're interested in men, most of them go out of the way to show they're 'available'. But, this only happens between 'straights' (i.e. between masculine gendered males -- men) and generally not with 'gays' (feminine gendered males). Perhaps, apart from natural sexual affinity of a masculine gendered guy for another masculine gendered guy, one reason for this could be that with gays, boys are over eager to distance themselves from.

Men not only fight and suppress their attraction for men, they hide their need for the company of those they love, their feelings of jealousy, sex, loyalty, shame, their disinterest and sometimes abhorence for sex with women.
