Gay brojobs
Our obsession with bro-jobs highlights the sexual limitations of identity politics, writes Simon Copland.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where a lot of people believe men must be either gay or straight. However, not all men who have a sexual experience with other men are gay or bisexual — even some straight men are at it. Enter the term brojob.
Until one day you and a buddy get drunk and he admits to having been in love with you for years. And that buddy will in turn try to suck your dick. And if you're not gay yourself at this point, you just lost a friend. You let a man suck your dick for the privilege of losing a friend.
Men have been having sex since the dawn of time. And no, I don't mean with women, I mean with other men. Dispute this all you want, make claims of biblical proportions, but it is a well documented fact that man-on-man sex is not new.

No homo. It happens in fraternities and in situations where men are together for long periods of time. The first time it happened, the year-old had just broken up with his girlfriend and was looking to experiment.

In Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men, Jane Ward moves through frat houses, the military, and even biker gangs like the Hells Angels to demonstrate that sex between men has always already been critical to the project of straight, white masculinity. Rather she demonstrates that the particular confluence of whiteness, straightness, and cis-maleness allow straight white, men to remain categorically intact even in the throws of fucking one another.
