Brian’s heart raced as he unlocked the door, laughing nervously as he held it open and gestured to welcome his friend Coby inside. “How is this going to happen?” he thought to himself, not for the first time that eventing “…is this even going to happen?”
It had started innocently enough, a drunken party with friends had introduced the topic of same sex hookups. Around the room various party goers had shared their experiences, from those who pretended to have no interest, to Coby (who’s appetite for dating other men was well known in the group) rolling his eyes at the concept that this topic could even considered noteworthy in the current era.
“I mean … we’d all … LIKE to try it out at one point, right?” Brian had admitted sheepishly, making fleeting eye contact with Coby and then breaking it nervously. “I mean, I challenge any man here to deny that there’s some level of fascination with … another man’s … you know…” he trailed off. He’d had too much to drink and wasn’t forming his thoughts clearly. Coby was smiling at him knowingly with a twinkle in his eye as he stammered. “You have no idea” he winked.
