best friend??? bf????

I was in KL a few days ago catching up with some college and high school mates when one of my friends since 13 years old was nice enough to accommodate me. It's one of the routine during stay-over that we exchange the experiences of our love life at night before drifting off to the dreamland.

When asked about my girlfriends, I couldn't help but to correct it to boyfriends. He was shocked and silent for a bit before continued to go further into details.

"how can guy and guy be together?" he asked.

"why not? you start liking each other and fall deeper for each other and eventually in love with each other. The same process that straight couples go through." I responded indifferently, probably have been saying the same thing over and over again.

"what about sex?" He then asked, obviously very lack of knowledge on homosexuality.

"A stiff and a hole, same thing, only at the back" I then answered, expecting him to understand what I said.

"ohhhh, okok, then what do you guys normally do? hold hands and stuff?" He then asked. That was the first time I got such question.

"calls, movies and outings, just like what you do. hmm holding hands? it depends on how open-minded you are!" I then said.

"well, it sounds like what best friends do. except for the sex part! Put it this way, homo couples are just best friends that have sexual activities!" He then shared his sentiments while i dropped my jaw out of surprise.

"what the hell?" I said after my jaw returned to its position, still shocked by his words.
"of course there are some mushy feelings that you don't act on your best friends" I then continued.

Come to think of it, I have to admit I kinda agreed with what he said.


Is it that the definition of best friends has changed that people start to do thing beyond the fine line or is it that homo couples really do look like best friends with sexual activities?
