Just as future reference, there is a big difference between dakishimeru (抱きしめる; to embrace) and daku (抱く; usually "to have sex with"). So as I remember, this poll was not gauging guys' interest in "who would you want a hug from," but instead... well. Yeah. ^^;

If that's so, then it kinda doesn't make sense to have two options - man you'd like to hug/have sex with and man you'd like to be hugged by/have sex with. One question ought to do the trick. Unless the questions were seeking even more explicit information than you suggest. >.>

Mew was right. My first thought when I read the article was that the choice of words was too innocent.

Actually it should be man who I want to f... me and man who I want to f.... Sorry for my vuglar choice of words.

It might be ANN's heavy implication of well... "no homo".

It might've something to do with "who will top or bottom?" question.

I thought Joe Odagiri(Johnny Depp) will win, or Kento(lololol jkfc overrated) but truthfully it was a very manly choice.

It's saddening that a mtf transgender person was included on this list...

Yeah, you don't need to explain. But apparently I needed to be less delicate in the last sentence in my original post. Rolling Eyes

Considering the ANN Executive Editor and one of the Assistant Editors are both men and just got married and the founding member of ANN is in fact a gay man I think it's safe to say that would not be the case here. Moving on.

I was thinking the same thing. Unless she still identifies as a male at times, she shouldn't be included on the list. I can see why they chose her (she's super cute~), but. . . not male (identifying). :/
