We've discussed this topic many times on LPSG so I think there are people who still struggle with it. I look at the issue in this way: many guys confuse our need for emotional intimacy with other guys as being sexual in nature. It may be but doesn't necessarily HAVE to be. If we feel some love for our male friends and want to hug or be close to them, those thoughts or feelings may drift into the sexual realm at some point. But usually it's just an emotional need that we may have for one another. For example, I love my best male buddy very much, but have no desire at all to buttfuck him. Cuddling with each other is cool though.
