I do not think that anything can easily fit into "pigeon holes". Those are man made constructs created to attempt to simplify and understand their world. Human curiosity and sexuality are as multifaceted as anything else. Be comfortable and open around your friends. If you are comfortable with a friend or friends masturbating around you or with you, then go for it. It doesn't mean anything more than you make it mean.....Do what feels right between yourself and your friends...all of your relationships. Personal relationships are each unique. Don't worry about what others may think or feel about relationships they are not part of. Male bonding is required for all of us. Each relationship may serve a unique purpose in your life. Be open and honest with those who are dear to you. Free yourself of any societal restrictions forced upon you. Live your life as you see fit, not as how others would have it. Stay well, enjoy any close friendships you find. Treasure them all for whatever they are.
Beautiful wisdom and insight, thank you bro!
Personal relationships are each unique. Don't worry about what others may think or feel about relationships they are not part of.
Showing affection to a person can take all forms. Helping them move. Complimenting their hair. Buying flowers. A hug. Sharing an old bottle of Scotch. A massage. An old-fashioned roll in the hay.
These are not the dividing lines between friendship and romance.
Lighten up, guys. Show affection. Be a friend.
PS: "allowing" a gay man to touch a straight man's penis is such a stereotypical power move it removes all desire to do so.
