Recently, there has been a turnaround of sorts. You see, I had resigned myself into being the one doing who was doing the servicing. It’s not that I mind. I’ve always found Mike attractive. At any rate, a few weeks ago, on a Friday night – Mike busted out some 420. This wasn’t a surprise because in the past, we’ve shared a smoke together.

I was feeling his kiss like it was burning my skin, or maybe it was just the wine, I have no idea. What I do know was that my lips were looking for his and soon we were in each other’s arms, surrendering to a magic moment like we have never experienced before. It was a mix of outrageous and affection, since we knew we were breaking a taboo right there, but we just couldn’t help it. He had a girlfriend named Carla and he was dating her for two months when I first got a chance to meet her. I disliked her immediately, although I didn’t know at the time what was the reason for my aversion towards her. I mean she seemed a really cool girl. I just didn’t like her and I was under the impression that Timothy had noticed that. It also seemed awkward to me that he never said anything about it. You would have think that it would have been bothered him to know that I wasn’t too fond of her. Then he joined the army and we kept seeing each other only like twice a month, since I was also busy with college. Ok so I’m sorry for this but I’ve been a bit upset about something that happened a few days ago and I just wondered what others thought I should do regarding telling the boys mum. But honestly – that’s not what happened. At least not yet. I think in part this is because we’ve both pretended like it never happened. Unlike some other reviewers, I watch movies for the quality of the entertainment, not for the quality of the preaching. If I want to learn about AIDS, about the history or symptoms or progression or politics of the disease, I'll look it up - I won't watch a movie. I watch movies ONLY to be entertained, never to be educated.

Maybe you will find it in you to forgive his shortcomings. Or maybe not. Either way is OK to me. That is, what I prize in people is the ability to be who they are.

The act of sleeping next to someone you love can be extremely beneficial in improving your mental health and reducing depression. Couples who share beds have lower levels of anxiety, stress, and depression than couples who do not share a bed, according to recent research. The increased sense of social support and relationship satisfaction that comes from sleeping together, as well as the release of oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which helps reduce anxiety and is produced in the same part of the brain as the sleep-wake cycle, are two of the likely reasons for this. A number of studies have shown that sharing a bed may help to reduce inflammation-related cytokines. In short, sleeping next to your spouse can improve both your mental and physical health, making it an excellent option for those looking to reduce depression and get a better night’s sleep.

I suggest you meet with him and have a frank talk. You might begin by saying that you care deeply about him but there are some things he has done that you find hard to accept.

You may feel a desire to punish your friend. It's natural when we have been injured to want to lash out. But I think the best course is to spend some time with him and try to reach a new understanding that contains a further frankness.

At 9, I think he's far too young to have been masterbating! I don't think he's mature enough at that age to have any sort of sex drive. Of course, this only lasted just for a short while, because Timothy was always there for me and soon everyone started respecting me. But that doesn’t mean that I was happy. In fact, it seemed like it was the other way around, because now they won’t be anywhere near me and I found myself excluded from their circle. The only true friend that I had was my brother, Timothy. He was the only one that truly understood who I was and he was always by my side. Also, he was the first to understand that I was gay, without me ever telling him and I respected the fact that he never forced me to discuss the matter. I was ashamed enough as it was.

Later that morning as we had breakfast with our housemates, I asked him if he'd had a nightmare. He said he didn't, but I wondered if he'd simply forgotten and gave it no more thought. We have shared many rooms together over the years, but this time our housing arrangement required us to share a bed, which did not give me a moment of pause. Like many gay men, our platonic friendship began with a roll in the hay. That first time was something of a quirk for both of us, fueled by too much drinking and ecstasy. We are not each other's types at all. I should also mention that I have boyfriend and my friend is married, but neither of our partners came with us on this trip.

Snuggle Up For Better Sleep: How Sleeping With A Partner Can Improve Men’s Health We sat and he told me stories about his life in the army and they kept becoming funnier as we included more wine into the equation. It was already late into the night when we finally ran out of subjects to discuss and just to keep the atmosphere vivid, I asked him about his girlfriend. He told me he wasn’t dating her anymore and asked me about my own love life, with a bit of a smile in the corner of his mouth. This question saddened me, which he immediately noticed. And so, there I was, sitting on the couch in my grey sweats and pulling this bandana over my eyes. “No looking man – got it?” he said with a seriousness in his voice.
