can you be gay but not have sex with men?

this is not about me at all

its my brothers best friend. he came out 4 months ago and said he was gay. well sunday night he announced that he doesnt want to have sex or perform certain sexual favors or have them done to him by a guy.
so how can you be gay and be in a relationship with another guy and say im not having sex with you ever.

I think your friend is confused. He may be having attractions to men, but apparently the thought of sex or sexual favors disgusts him so either he has a strong sense of moral responsibility to not do those things in the first place or he's simply, not gay.

PS. There are even Christians who are gay but choose not to practice it b/c they know that it's a sin.

I hope u don't take this 2 far but maybe he's lieing because he just came out a few mouths ago. He just don't want being gay bad anymore, like everybody says that gay ppl r 2 sexually active and that 2men sexually attracted 2 each other is bad and stuff. So he's probley saying " I'm gay but I'm not haveing sex with men". Just 2 try 2 fit in with u guys. He probley doesn't want u guys 2 think about what he does behind doors because ppl will think like OMG. You know how it is. I mean honestly what would be the point of being gay? There's obviously his hormones are attracted 2 them. If he wasn't sexually attracted with them he wouldn't be dateing them.

Being gay doesn't just mean that you have sex with people of the same sex; it means that you'd rather be intimate (both physically and emotionally) with somebody of the same sex. So, if he's not ready to have sex, all it means is: he's not ready to have sex.
However, anybody can be asexual. This means that you still love and show affection towards certain people, but you're just not interested in sex. So, if this makes any sense, maybe he's an asexual gay?

He could be a gay celibate person. One question I have though is how exactly does he know that he's gay? Does he just not want to have sex or does he not find men attractive and yet for some other reason thinks that he's gay? A bit confusing.
