For 4+years, I was part of the medical staff at a 400-inmate detention facility. We had federal, state, county, & city inmates. There were usually at least 350 males, plus 20-30 females & 15-20 juveniles. It was one of the best, most interesting & most intense jobs I had. Many times I got "flirted with" by the detention officers & the inmates, & many times I actually got "cruised" by the inmates. I heard so much "gay sex" banter it was unreal.
Many times I would get called over to Booking, to assess whether an arrestee could be "medically-cleared" to be booked into the facility. There was one street officer in particular who made the most intense eye-contact with me that I've probably ever had. It was like -- he would lock eyes with me & it was simply impossible to look away. He was a motorcycle cop with thick straight dirty-blonde hair & an enormous handlebar moustache, & he had a very nicely muscled body. He was 6'1" or 6''2". Earlier, like maybe almost 10 years earlier, he had worked undercover, & I saw him on the street 4 or 5 times. When he was working undercover he looked like a true street rat with dirty jeans, cowboy boots, a baseball cap, & real scraggly beard & ratty shaggy hair. One night I was leaving a bar which was sort of 50/50 mixed, gay & straight, & Officer R. saw me exiting the place & he engaged me with the same intense eye-contact. I was a fool not to at least try to get it on with him, but he was so intense & intimidating that I just didn't know how to proceed. Think of the most macho, best-looking COLT model you can remember... that was him!
So yeah, I DO understand your attraction to men in Law Enforcement. And I do take issue with the respondent who complained about the EGO involved in men who Serve & Protect. As far as I'm concerned, & as far as my experience goes, to complain about the "ego" of someone in law enforcement is both a stereotype & a groundless generalization.
