Is it normal for two male best friends to be this close?

Me and my Best Friend are both 21 years old and have been friends for 10 years, we are unbelievably close to the point that I’m unsure if its even possible for other straight males to be this close (hence the reason I’m posting this). I am interested to know if my relationship with my best friend is common and if other people experience such closeness with their friend.

We met and became friends back at school, all of the way through school, college, and even outside people comment on how unseperable we are together because we share such a close connection with one another. We have been speculated as a gay couple numerous times and often get asked if we are gay by girls when we are on a night out, however this does not bother either of us because we both feel comfortable enough with each other (and if anything we feel it helps us chat girls up haha).

We speak to each other every single day without fail and I feel lonely when he is not around sometimes, he is the first person I think of before I make any other plans. When we are just hanging out, having a few drinks, watching TV or whatever we are constantly physically in contact with each other, eg. Resting our legs on each other’s knee’s, putting one arm round each other, touching each other’s thigh, slapping arses , tickling one another and just sitting close so that we have constant physical contact with our legs. I must stress that we both consider ourselves as straight and we always talk about girls we fancy, etc. (we have had a 4-sum with 2 girls).

It feels as if there is absolutely nothing I would feel uncomfortable talking about or even doing with my best friend as we have done everything, we have seen each others penis’s, held hands and more importantly been through A LOT emotionally together.

I value my friendship with this person a lot and don’t actually care if anybody posts answers saying we are gay as we both feel secure enough with each other. However I am interested to know Do any other people share a connection like this with their best friend?

Thank you if you took your time to read this, even if one person can relate to me it will help

    If girls can be really close and not have anyone second guess it, than why can't guys? I'm glad you're comfortable with having company of the same sex. It's very cute and normal:) don't let anyone tell you otherwise:)

    Honestly speaking
    I also have this kind of best friend relationships and we're both Male , in my opinion it is 100% normal
    Because, we don't care if what other people said about the two of you. And also there is no rule about this things(specially the gender differences) when it comes to best friend relationships.

      It's not ACCEPTABLE! NEVER!
      Be Careful where your *Closeness* lead Your Friendship. Sucking each-other's Dick is HOMOSEXUAL (Friendship of LUST). But Kissing Your Bestfriend to the Lips, or on His Cheek, Hugging Him or Cuddling while You Sleep is fine because You Love Him so much. But with Sexual Intercourse is Part of IMPURITY AND IS GAY!!! MALE BESTFRIENDS SHOULD NEVER DO THAT. WE LOVE OUR BESTFRIEND AND NOT LUST ON THEM. #PURE #REALMEN #BROMANCE #NOHOMOPLEASE

    YES, it is VERY VERY NORMAL. I do the exact same thing to my best friend, everyone kept teasing and saying that we're gay. But it's not... it's a bond that we made. We basically love each other(basically bromance). But we still talk about relationships and girls. We feel lonely without each other, honestly. We sleep on each other, we cuddle. I wouldn't give up my relationship/friendship for anything. Just remember that, don't let other's interrupt your friendship.

      AAAAWWWWEEEE ♡ I Honestly want to Cry! I don't have a Bestfriend, but I really want to have one 😭 AND YES 👍 Don't let people say that BROMANCE is GAY And is WRONG in Society! And don't believe that You are Gay. You're not. Do they even know what the word BESTFRIEND means? That's the Person who you Really Really Love, You Smile flatterly whenever you meet, and doesn't get bored with each other `cause you can be who you are with your best friend, and he'll never judge you `cause he Know you very much. However, a Closefriend and a friend is VERY DIFFERENT WITH BESTFRIENDS!

    I have a relationship with my best friend just like you, I rub my friend's back, I fix his hair, I scratch his hair, we hug everyday, always take selfies, and put one arm around the other mostly in public places. I don't care if anyone ships us as a couple either. I do identify myself as a bisexual, but I do not feel aroused with my best friend at all, and the love connection is purely straight brother love. We have a lot of emotional conversations, and a lot of perverted ones too XD. I only met my best friend last year, and he quickly became my other half. I feel lonely without him, and I've had gone through a lot of emotion with him. We do argue over the little things sometimes, but we usually forgive each other in fifteen minutes and are hugging each other tightly within twenty minutes. A lot of people as shipped us like too many times, and it bothers my friend since he's straight. Your relationship with your friend is very normal, and super adorable. This friendship will be important for you both as you both get married and have children. I think it's great that you two managed to go through school and college together!

      This kind of Friendship (The Bromance Thingy) is not a Bisexual Thingy! Never be! *BUT* it will depends the Intention towards another or YOU YOURSELF *ALREADY* CONSIDER *YOURSELF* AS HOMOSEXUAL (BISEXUAL WHATEVER!) BROMANCES IS NOT HOMO AND NEVER WILL BE AND MUST BE PURE. ALRIGHT?

    Who can really say what is normal or not. My best friend and I have always shared a very close relationship without sex. I think I would be fine with exploring more with him as we already share anything and everything emotionally. However, as we get older he is less comfortable with the physical contact. I think most of this is due to his fear of being labeled as gay. I respect his feelings as our love and friendship is far more important than any physical contact. My advice to you is to cherish the relationship that you have. Both of you
    need to follow your hearts and whatever happens, happens. It sounds to me that it is unlikely that anything could damage the love and friendship you have for each other. Good luck!

      *SIGHS* I CANNOT SAY THAT HE'S Not a friend at all. But People change, because HE BELIEVES WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY. AND WHAT WANT HIM TO BELIEVE. BUT BROMANCES IS NEVER GAY NOR TRANSFORM YOU TO BECAME GAY. NEVER! IT'S UP TO THE BOTH OF YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO LEAD IT. LUST OR LOVE.

  • Im 62 and I have two best friend, a marine who is 23 and a neighborhood kid who is 16 and I watched him grow up. I talk to both of my buddies every day, the 3 of us camp together, hunt together, hang out together. The teen stays with me when his parents travel, I take him to haircute, the doctor and school. He is like my own son/brother. When we hang out, we all crowd the couch to watch a game, or a scarey movie, in contact with each other, 16 falls asleep and drools on my shoulder. Ive taught him to fly airplanes, scuba dive, swim, shoot, and he just told me during a hug "thanks for teaching me how to be a man...". Guys bond close and hard and usually for life, its great to have someone to love, a special and deep love that doesnt involve sex, specially when the love is returned.

    Is it normal? No, but that doesn't matter. What you have with your friend is really sweet and loving. It makes your whole entire world better to be so close to someone like that. I was close to a male friend for a little while sort of like that but not to that extreme so I know what you're talking about. Cherish what you have my friend.

    Yes that is normal. Me and my buddy act the same way as you are. When going anywhere or doing anything, he is the first person that comes out of my mind. We always hang out, talk over the phone and even go to each other's house without him or me knowing. That's real friendship!

    Yes, you guys are perfectly normal. Not everyone has such a close connection with a friend. Those that don't can't understand the closeness and how rewarding it is. My relationship with my best friend sounds very similar to yours. I wouldn't give it up for anything.
