Well I have to chime in on this one. I first learned to JO with my brother and best friend. We had a pool table and stereo in the basement of our home and used to go down there and hang out after school. One thing led to another and soon we were all three naked and jerking off. Nothing gay, just having fun. After that in college I had a few experiences with roommates. We were always walking around naked or in our underwear. As I got older, I have had a few buddies that were pretty open. One guy I caught in my back yard jacking off. When I confronted him, he just laughed and said, he loved jacking and wanted to know if I had some porn and wanted to join him. We did, and it was so much fun. I think the first time we laughed more than anything else. I have always been open to this and agree it is a great bonding experience. Some dudes will get weird about it, but if you can find a buddy with a good sense of humor and open mind, I think have a bate buddy is the best. Feels great and so much fun.
