A new study published in Sex Roles: A Journal of Research claims that straight men in “bromances” make out and cuddle with each other, much like gay men do.

According to gay men’s magazine Attitude, which wrote about the study, the researchers asked a series of questions to a handful of British undergrads who identified as heterosexual. The aim was to uncover their hidden proclivities. The 30 young men who answered the questionnaire said they engaged in “non-sexual physical intimacy” including kissing, cuddling and spooning their best bros.

LOL, uh, no, this doesn't happen.

Why this incessant need to make the bizarre seem normal?
 
They're not gay, they're British.

;)
 
There is also the possibility that many of them could have been simply trolling when answering the questionnaire.

No way! College boys trolling a sex questionnaire? :shock:
 
It's not gay if you say no homo.
 
Not once in my 67 years have I seen two straight men kissing or cuddling.
 
It's definetely not gay if you beat them up afterwards.

The article itself contains the relevant qualifiers:

“A bromance is between friends whose mutual support is perceived as limitless and unwavering. All of the (30!!) participants said they had at least one relationship they would class as a bromance,” said researcher Adam White, per Attitude.

So, it's not a study of "straight men" at all, but of a few men who are willing to say up front that they're in a "bromance."

The findings are dubious, given that participants who self-identified as straight may, in fact, be gay. There is also the possibility that many of them could have been simply trolling when answering the questionnaire.

If there is any veracity to the study at all, it’s that there are many more gay men out there than people realize—but proving that will require a sample size much larger than 30 people.

So, the study and the article describing it are nothing but click bait..... :roll:

I can't say how common it is, but I have seen this done. Why are you so threatened by it?

I have never in my entire life seen two straight men make out with each other.
