I think that is part of the reason we tend not to have too many bros. It does take investment, and trust. Sometimes we need to cancel, but we are not deterred. The reality is that friendships take hard work, without clothes even more so I feel. I think it's our progressive attitude that got us both interested.
I hosted naked gathering in my home with people I did not know, and he was empathetic, and offered me support and assistance. We gave each other a big bear hug at the end of it, and the bond was made.
The next time it was at his place, just the two of us. That showed a measure of trust, at times of sexual tension was high. Not that we wanted to have sex, but just the mutual excitement. No topic was out of bounds. We mutually needed to break that level of excitement , which was also a very meaningful experience,
I found your testimony really wonderful - be open to find a friend invigorating with this synergy and acceptance of history without judgment ... I believe that, as simple as it may seem, this type of connection is a sign of human evolution, overcoming fears, self-construction ... great, great, great !!! Continues! if you can, please, continue to share with us! Big naked hugs!
