Nice to see more openness
I'm wondering if these words, bromance and now bromosexual, are just ways for men who have been playing it straight to come to easier terms with what their sexuality truly is.
It used to be seen as having a buddy "with privileges." As in, 'No way I'm admitting I want to have sex with another man. So I need to explain it through some other out which at least makes me look a little more "normal."'
I've often said that if every dude who has been with a man, or has thought about being with a man, or has fantasized about being with a man were to turn green for 24 hours, there would be a lot of shocked girlfriends, and wives, and um, bros who thought they were just hanging with their straight buddy watching the Steelers over some brewskis in the mancave.
And that's okay.
I'm a gay male, masculine, pass for straight, and people don't know about me unless I tell them. Usually when they ask if I have a girlfriend, etc.
But it's nice to see guys becoming more comfortable with just admitting that the the thought of being with another dude gets them going.
Because of the way I present, I've had tons of guys who claim to be straight, even on nudist sites, want to talk sex with me. Meet up. Etc.
If they want to call it a bromance, so be it. Cool by me. I mean, we're having physical relations with one another, which would make it "gay" to most of society, but we can call it whatever you want. ;)
I think there is more to it. Easily put, I think some guys do try to cover up their gayness by putting in into the bromance category. However, I do feel that there are genuinely some straight guys that just miss camaraderie with their fellow bros. Think about the life of a typical male; western culture. We are taught to be affectionate and cute when we are young, or we are allowed to express those traits at least. We can even be more affectionate with other males at that age. No one bats an eye when you see two male toddlers holding hands walking down the street or giving long hugs. We assume it's for safety or they're being cute. Or young brothers cuddling with each other as they watch TV. We lose that once we enter pre-teen and teenage years. We spend the rest of our lives being told having that innocent male-to-male connection is wrong. We have to be tough/macho/independent/strong/etc. Later on in life that looks like the "bro hug," fist bumps, pranks, "drunken I love you bro" nights, and locker room/sports antics. Some people find that with their spouse, but others would argue that it's not the same. It is a different type of connection and/or love. And I would agree.
And like I said above, I also think some guys just want to fool around with another guy. And that is okay as well. But with that, I also come from the perspective that most people are fluid with their sexuality.....meaning most are not 100% straight or 100% gay. Just my opinion though.
