He pretends to be gay in the bookshop scene in THE BIG SLEEP. He's not very good at it.

Feared he might be gay? Did he wanna gobble up every cock in sight?

Sounds like OCD.

Seriously that’s one form of it. The repetitive, intrusive thoughts keep telling things. For some people it’s “you’re gay”.

It didn't help that everytime he drove up to Scotty Bowers' gas station, that Scotty would say, "Hey, Bogie, I've got a hunky college football player for ya."

Bogey freaked when he realized he had a thing for this guy:

Let me clarify

For some heterosexual people it’s “you’re gay”. If my OCD told me that I’d be like “duh”.

[quote] Bogie had bedded an estimated 1,000 women including Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich and Ingrid Bergman

Dietrich was a lesbian

Thinking of the label maybe, if you're thinking of DICK, it isn't OCD or else all straight men who think about pussy all the time have a form OCD.

Ingrid Bergman pinged and the Rossellini scandal was weird

What about his rumored massive sizemeat?!

If he feared he was gay, he dabbled with someone at least once and liked it.

He was probably a closet case

Darwin Porter writes about every famous person supposedly being gay. Only the dead ones, so he can't be sued. This "revelation" by Porter about Bogart is no more credible than any of his other claims.

he lusted after teenage boys, see it’s not only me

'almost drove him to suicide'? Calm down Honey Bogart, it can only drive you to a Cher concert.

You might be amazed at what OCD can put in your head R9 and visuals are included.

R7, she was bisexual. And she preferred oral sex to genital sex...

Maybe he topped Peter Loree.

I love reading Darwin Porter books. Despite the fact that they’re horribly written just from a basic grammar aspect, I keep reading while muttering to myself ‘this is absurd’.

He and Dooley Wilson rubbed cocks on the set of CASABLANCA.

How do you have oral sex without the genitals?

Sounds like he wasn't ok about homosexuality, of course a very commonplace view at the time, but Hollywood had many people who were already fully evolved on the subject. Not Bogie apparently, he wouldn't have feared it so much if he didn't think it was a moral failing.

Bogart apparently dated Barbara Stanwyck and Stanwyck was a closeted lesbian

Dietrich was bi. At least with Yul Brenner.

And where did this "Humphrey Bogart fears that he was gay" information come from? Darwin Porter? Scotty Bowers?

by Anonymousreply 35October 29, 2018 9:40 PM

Darwin Porter is up to his usual tricks again. Another figment of his vivid imagination.

by Anonymousreply 36October 29, 2018 9:42 PM

Truman Capote said he offered him a beej and years later, Bogie wanted to take him up on it. The story is in Andy Warhol's Diaries but I can't remember if Capote actually did or didn't.

I read a book by Humphrey Bogart's mistress. She inferred that he was comfortable with gays and even told one fairly shy gay male journalist that if he (Bogart) were gay he would want the young journalist. Tried to make him feel comfortable.

Sounds like he just had performance issues.

by Anonymousreply 40October 29, 2018 10:05 PM

supposedly had a very big dick. Lauren seemed hugely in love with him and only talks about him glowingly, so whatever his issues it didnt seem to impact their relationship

I don't know about Bogart but I heard that Clark Gable was gay
