    “many gay men find and build community around an embrace of shared spaces,”

    I wonder why gay men have more “friends”.

    A: sex.

      No, we don’t all fuck our friends. I think I have a total of one friend who I’ve “fucked” twice in 7 years. Gay culture goes beyond sex, and so do our friendships.

        So, you admit that you are fucking your friends at least twice every 7 years?

        Guilty!

          I haven’t even been fucked once in the last 7 years. Can I be that guy’s friend? 😩
