I don't know what's up with LJ, is keeping eating my post :(

You mean the bit between Ianto and Gwen in "Twilight Streets", right? But that's not really a groundbreaking revelation, on the contrary I seem to recall that Ianto snaps back at Gwen by telling her that nobody has ever figured him out, not even he has figured himself out yet. That's hardly an admission of his (bi)sexuality, but I'm probably being a bit picky.

I imagine the simple fact that he is in a relationship with Jack at this point defines him as bisexual, and so I see your point. I don't have problems in believing that Jack is Ianto's first man, though.

<The problem I have with this particular pairing is the whole idea that Jack has turned Ianto gay with his awesome 51st century cock.>

Put it like that, I simple love it :D
But in reality, he couldn't ever turn Ianto gay by just using his magic cock, but by being... lovable? Caring? There when Ianto needed him? I remember you wrote a wonderful meta a while back in which you gave an explanation of the possible motivations Ianto may have had into starting an affair with Jack. And they were all more than valid points.

The reason why I love this particular pairing is right because is so complicated. It's everything but boring, simple like that.

But I don't see how Jack could have manipulated Ianto, to tell the truth. First Ianto is too smart for that. Sure after all he went through in S1 I agree he was damaged and consequently vulnerable, but I can't see Jack taking advantage of his state. Hell, Jack would be a sick bastard to do such a thing.

I try to have a more positive vision of their relationship. Maybe Jack was sincerely supportive and caring in those awful moments? Sure thing is they never showed us how things went between them therefore I'm willing to take for gospel the Captain's blog because that's all we've got, but I imagine Jack being THERE for Ianto did the trick if nothing else because as I said Ianto is not stupid, and he wouldn't have fallen for bastard!Jack.
