Guys and affection

I believe this is healthy behaviour, it's great to know that the two of you are getting along well, and not being jerks. In my family, we hardly even talk, and it's great to know that the two of you can show affection without any blood ties. I don't belive you are bi, I belive you are two sensitive caring men, which will help in the future.

Whatever... Who cares? If you want, fuck each other silly. If you don't, do whatever you will. Bonding comes in many shapes, don't fret about your sexuality, it's not THAT important.

i think it's cute (i really like bromance)
but the cuddling seems a bit much. i've never known of any straight guys to cuddle together.
and really, you can't be perfectly 100%% straight if you're wondering...

i don't know though

I disagree with the firt comment
Nuthin is wrong with being sweet :)
Ive got the same here

Don't worry theres nothing wrong with this. If you dont get a hard-on when you guys cuddle then your not gay... Heres something most people don't know, in nowaday's culture this kind of behaviour would be thought at gay or abnormal but about 2000 years ago it was normal for 2 grown men to old hands and to cuddle and compliment eachothers. It was common behaviour for best friends. Your just lucky to have that. Don't change it unless your truely gay then you should maybe have a chit-chat about it with your friend.

there is nothing wrong with you, i'm female and that is adorable to me. I agree with little lady, make sure you pass on your genes and your affection, it is infectious. and infectious in a good way.

ps. just ignore the "your" before "people", that was a typo. I was not hinting at anything.. haha

I could see that ending badly.

I do this all the time with my friends, except I'm a chick and I'm also straight. I don't like stereotyping genders, so I think this is normal but your people might think your queer and make fun of you a bit.

dont listen to anyone enjoy your love and affection

I think this is normal, my best friend and I are straight yet we love eachother, cuddle, wrestle, hug, rest on eachother, rest our legs on one another, lay on eachothers chests while having an arm around eachother. We kiss with pecks but never kiss on the lips. We compliment and crack jokes at eachother. Perfectly normal man. I love my bro heaps, but not in a sexual way.

Dude you don't know how lucky you are, I had the same kind of relationships with other guys before, before i got married, unfortunately I didnt make it a priority relationship, and it faded away. F I could have my life over I would Make it higher priority relationships with other guys, when You are married it just become more and more Difficult to make close buddies and sustain relationships like that. Here Is a Link to a friend of mines website where he explain how It works in some other cultures. I wish that this kind of male male relationships can get the recognition it deserve, monkeybrothersplaying.org/NEW%20MBP/guatiao.html

Im a straight guy, and so is my best friend. We been thru alot in our own lives. I agree with first comment on here to your question. The cuddling is strange for some, others it is not. It depends on how you were brought up. Girls do seem to do it more then guys, but as long as it doesn't go any further, like sex, your ok. Sometimes a person cuddles for sense of secureness, and choose their best friend over family or other relationship because they trust that best friend more than anyone else.

I should also add...most everyone who said this is normal is female. If you are female this would be normal, but I've just never heard of two straight guys cuddling.

yeah...cuddling and shit is a little extreme even for bromance...you're probably bi, and so is he.

Let us know how it turns out

The hugging part is NORMAL. The back rubs are suspect. Do u get a boner around him, that's the question..... And answer

Don't worry I have the same story just younger....

I've heard of a few guy roommate who are crazy close. I think it has to do with age and needing to be secure. Honestly I don't know if cuddling is normal with the other dudes I know. It seems kind of gay but it might not be at all.

um I don't think your gay or bi unless you desire him.but just like hugging,complimenting him and cuddling with him doesn't necessary mean your gay.us girls do that and we are not lesbians.pls don't worry about it but make sure if you really do desire him that's the problem you should get help with.
-good luck

i guess its kinda normal... i have a few best friends, we hug, we love each other and all, and were open about it... so i understand where you come from... the cuddling/back rub part? idk if thats normal but yeah man. you're not bi. don't worry about it.

This sounds like me and my best friend! i'm a girl and shes a girl but she has a bf. We do like to hug and always compliment each other but being bi never occured to me cos i'v always still liked guys... i think some friendships are just like this.

Sometimes i did wonder why we do it but i never let it bother me.

i know i didnt really give advice but i thought if i share my story it might help :)

no straight guys hug! Even brothers hardly do it our family!

two guys showing physical affection to the extent you've described = normal (for gay/bi men)
