Bromance

The complicated term given to the close and at times affectionate relationship between 2 or more straight, heterosexual lads.

Used mostly amongst those aged late teens to those in their mid to late 30’s.

A Bromantic relationship often forms when straight lads are forced out of necessity to be at close quarters with one and other. For example living in army barracks, boarding at school, football and rugby teams.

Bromances can be displayed in all manner of ways. Most prominently there will be openly questionable moments such as declaring one’s love for another, kissing when drunk, hugging, spooning when hungover.

Lads in a Bromance will sign off messages with an X or more.

Lads in bromances will be comfortable seeing each other and being round each other naked.

Lads who are in a Bromance are so comfortable with their sexuality they will often have girlfriends or share sexual female partners. They have no problems touching or holding each others junk or bodies when naked. It’s no issue to them as they are not gay.

A Bromance can be secretly sexual usually made up of mutual oral sex and masturbation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: being in a Bromance is in no way gay. Only straight guys can have bromances.
