A straight brother’s gift at Pride

[PozBearWI]

I like the "str8" brother's story even better.  Better to be in his head a bit.  It is one thing to get to a place where m2m sex becomes ones identity.  Quite another to recognize a desire to actually live life infected, and done so intentionally.

This chapter answers questions and gives much needed context from the perspective of Thomas, the "straight"older brother of Luke.  As I suspected, this pride parade wasn't Thomas' first or his only exposure to gay sex--his former college roommate was his first gay sex partner.  Thomas' reaction (getting married to a woman and denying his sexual preference/desires) was common in society and detrimental to so many gay men who felt the pressure to conform rather than express/peruse their true sexual desires.

I can relate to Thomas' situation. I felt the pressures from family, but I was not going to put another person in a marriage of convenience, so I am remained single until I came out years after my college days.  Thomas is finally allowing himself to experience the sex and intimacy with another man that he denied for so many years, and hopefully, Luke will understand this and be supportive.  One thing that we are not certain about is: Luke's views on having unprotected sex with poz guys.  There's a hint of apprehension when Chad talks about it with him, but I suspect Luke is/will be more open to it than Thomas thinks.  We now know which brother is the bigger slut!  Looking forward to reading more about Luke and Thomas.
