homoerotic behavior

And the more I think about this thread I tend to view this simply as brotherly affection and love NOT homoerotic. Why must we put a homosexual spin to things that are normal male intimacy, closeness and friendship?

I totally agree with you.

At this rate, a friendly pat behind the back from one man to another in recognition of some achievement will soon be deemed a "gay thing"!
 
So my straight friend in his 20s, who I have mentioned on this thread before, is flying to visit me soon. In reply to my matter-of-fact email about where and when we should meet the day he arrives, he responded, "Is this love, that I'm feeling? Is this the love, that I've been searching for?"
 
Me and a friend were hanging out. He asked me to pop his back so I did. Then told him to lay face down so I could pop it properly. Then proceeded to give a near full body massage. Would probably have been less erotic if the fucker didn't moan and groan the whole time. I sort of like giving massages but I don't do it for just anyone.
 
3 situations immediately come to mind:
1. Playing basketball. You guard a guy in the post by pushing your forearm into the guys back, and he tries to back you down by pushing his ass into your crotch / stomach, and you push back with your crotch / stomach. On rebounds, you box out by again pushing your ass into the other guys crotch, and reaching back with your hand touching his hip or stomach. Lots of sweaty skin to skin contact, particularly when playing without shirts.
2. Wrestling. Without a doubt the most homoerotic sport, with true crotch grabs, grinding, even your head being scissor-locked into another guys crotch. Erections on 100% straight guys is not an uncommon thing
3. Chicken fights in the pool. Nothing better than having some guys junk pressed against your neck, your head bumping into his abs, while holding on to his bare thighs.
 
I went camping to a lake over the long weekend with my old roommate. We didn't see another person the whole time we were there. The second day we were going to go swimming and as there was no one around he just striped down naked and jumped in. So I follow suit. or lack there of.

He is straight and knows I'm bi apparently it was no big deal. (In living together we kept it boxers at least for the most part but that was several years ago). After that we just hung around camp naked when it was nice out. Nothing sexual, but he does have a nice dick I must say. And I did get a semi on now that then. Also no big deal.
 
In addition to other examples, this also happens when two guys are on the same motorcycle, but does ANYONE think that's gay? I certainly don't.

When I was 17 I worked with this hot white dude who was the same age. He lived a few miles away from me and he had a dirtbike. He was very muscular and would ride the bike with no shirt all the time which means I'd be behind him holding onto his bare waist. At the time I didn't have a clue but I now realize he was willing to mess around a little. Oh well, here's to missed opportunities.
 
Nah, seriously, sometimes we help fellow officers out with a lint brush....just going up and down the front and back.... no big deal... we are all brothers and sisters...

it's amazing to me what is classified as homoerotic behavior in the USA. We are more relaxed here guys even hold hands when walking. At work we are all the back slapping, neck rub bestowing, hand around shoulders bunch. But even by Indian standards when one -as far as I know straight - colleague/friend butt slaps me I can't help wondering if he has some repressed desires :)
 
Once in high school, I was sitting at the piano when a fellow student walked up behind me, put his hands on my shoulders and leaned in. I felt this heat on the middle of my back. It was like electric shock. He's straight and I was closeted, but I can still feel it.

Once recently, I was sitting in the bar and another straight guy walked up behind me and did the same thing.

If I could feel "that" in my back, they had to feel my back on "that". And I hope it was as good for them as it was for me:)
 
wow, you poor deprived blokes...I've been flirted with, kissed on the mouth, had my nipples tweaked, butt checks rubbed and this all by supposedly straight guys, well some of the kissers where most likely bi and all his when I was in my twenties. I used to wonder what it was about me that made straight men feel so free with their affections towards me. I enjoyed the attention but it still made me uncomfortable. The USA culture is still unwaveringly repressed when it comes to any kind of true intimacy, male to male intimacy especially and often the simple touch of another is misintepreted and labelled sexual. In college I'd see older male student friends playfully touching each other, hugging, head on shoulders, heads in laps while laying/sitting in the grass and I remember thinking how cool and comfortable they seemed with each other and I wished I had a friend to be that way with, all this before I became a card carrying homo. I still wish more men regardless of sexuality could bond in a more intimate way.
 
yes when I was much younger say 30 years ago I watched the high school football practices with more than one school attending.
one school held hands before every play in the huddle, when i asked why the coach said it was to promote unity. and i agree even something as simple as holding hands is not really promoted in males in the USA. but we humans most of us are a touchy feely bunch others do not like being touched at all. I am veryoutgoing and love to touch and be touched if it is a friendly way
 
Both my best friends are straight and while I don't feel their actions are homoerotic they might fit well in this thread. I will say that I am glad that nothing has changed in their behavior toward me and our friendship since I came out to them about a year ago. For that I am grateful and slightly surprised that we've kept the same level of intimacy. Anyway, some of the things that we do: one wrestles with me almost every time we hang out (again, not homoerotic, but I'm glad he is still comfortable enough with me to have so much strong/agressive physical contact), the other one and I always sit very close to each other and almost alaways have either a limb or head on one another. I will also say that while I don't foster any romantic feelings for them, now that I am a card carrying homo, I can say things that straight guys have trouble saying to their straight friends like "i love you" and "i miss you." I say that to them and they like it and respond in kind.
 
The first time it happened was with a guy I met while I was in Japan. For some reason he likes to grope me/wrestle me any chance he get. The thing is he never does it to anyone else and back then I didn't even realize my attraction to guys. He's straight too so I was kinda confused when a female friend told me "to be careful with S". LOL

The second time was very recent. I had a gym buddy who again, was very touchy-feely towards me even though I never done the same thing to him. He'd pretend to show me how he tackle guys in his Rugby games but because he showed it to me (who has no knowledge on how to counter-tackle), he did it in slow-motion like he's going to put me on a bed or something. It weirded me out a bit since he's straight and because it was in the gym, I was also a bit embarrassed. I'm not a PDA type of guy.
 
i had a bud in grad school who would always tell me stories from his frat days. at first the started off more innocent. but then he confessed him and his buddies used to have dick size competitions and eventually he told me he had a circle jerk with them and 3 of them fucked one girl.

after we graduated he came to my apartment and him and 2 (1 guy, 1 girl) of my friends went out for dinner and drinks. when we got back my guy friend put an ice cube down his shirt and he laughed and didn't mind. then they went out to get beer and i went to the bathroom. when i came out he was face down on my bed and was like "i dont want to get up, come here"...i didn't go coz i didn't know when my friends would be back. i have some gay porn and he knows im into dudes. and they all wanted to watch a movie so i said "okay turn on the dvd player but don't be shocked if there's gay porn in there" and he got super excited and was like "let's watch the gay porn!" but the girl didn't want to. unfortunately didn't get to make a move coz of the company we had.
 
That's what you get for allowing a girl into your apartment.
