[A feature to be found in the autumn issue of têtu· or by subscription.] Fans of bromance or locker-room vibes, like our anonymous witness, often enjoy organizing drink gatherings with friends where clothes come off, in order to grope each other among “bros” without judgment.
- Are you more of a birthday party that goes off the rails or a naturist aperitif among friends?
Both are pretty good, but apéros are really my thing. I invite four or five friends over to the house, we chat around a drink and then we remove our clothes, one by one, while continuing to talk about our vacations. Sometimes the heatwave has its perks!
- In beer-and-football mode or rosé-by-the-pool?
I like beer; it reinforces the sense of being a band of friends, even when not everyone knows each other. I find that a cool guy is a good lay. We’re not hookups, we’re not lovers, we are friends and we pleasure each other after sharing our office stories.
- Ça doit être quelque chose de parler à poil de Jean-Michel-de-la-compta…
It’s this offbeat vibe that makes the spice of the situation. Talking about daily life while touching yourselves is very exciting. At first, the situation is a bit awkward, you talk about the weather and then, gradually, a certain trust settles in. Without overplaying the performance, we stay in quiet virility: among friends, there’s less judgment, there’s not really any stakes. It’s a kink to observe the progressive disinhibition, to see the ice break.
- Et quand vous vous retrouvez à poil sur le canapé, tu n’as pas envie de sauter immédiatement sur tes potes ?
Exactly, it’s like very long foreplay! Building the temperature up little by little allows time to get used to the heat and to raise it even more… The sex, afterwards, is very different, more intimate, less mechanical, but not as passionate as with a lover. I invited a very hot Italian guy; it was incredibly exciting to let things simmer with him. We have time, we’re relaxed, no pressure, that’s the difference with a group sex session where you go straight to it, without an amuse-bouche.
- D’ailleurs, vous prévoyez des petits fours ?
And by the way, are you planning some petits fours?
Before swallowing anything else? You have to be very careful! The breath and the crumbs of chips in the mouth are terrible… So we avoid anything like Roquefort, garlic hummus, or anchovies! Anyway, cherry tomatoes and carrots are much healthier. We also avoid drinking too much alcohol; it makes you woozy when you go to bed and stops you from being as vigorous as a soldier.
- Et ensuite ?
The act itself isn’t the culmination of our relationship, but simply a moment of camaraderie among others. After the encounter, I often go to a restaurant with the buddies, and the party can continue!
