Has Colton hooked up with men?

Colton knew he was different from a young age. Before he was on the 14th season of The Bachelorette he actually tried experimenting with his sexuality.

He clarified,

“When I say ‘hookups,’ not sex. I want to make that very clear that I did not have sex with a man, prior to that. I remember feeling so guilty, like ‘What the hell am I doing?’ It was my first time letting myself even go there, so much so that I was like, ‘I need ‘The Bachelorette’ in my life, so I could be straight.”
