31 y.o., and Joey is like a sex-starved frat boy with no compunctions of grabbing my arse or junk in public {even kissing me on the lips (no tongue) upon greeting or leaving one another with a hug}!!! He's undeniably in the closet, but he tells everybody that he's comfortable with his masculinity and (hetero)sexuality! In his defense, I do greet most of my friends (male and female) with a hug and peck of a kiss. Joey has held my hand in front of his wife and baby mama mistress ... lol, although, all the while exclaiming, "This is So Gay!!!" but he never let go and even secretly caressed his thumb over my hand while holding it.
I had to go to Las Vegas for a business convention in October of 2018, and I brought him along with me for 4 days & 3 nights. Joey was already publicly calling me, "Husband" in public for a couple of years by this time, so he fully adopted the philosophy of "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." For the first and only time EVER, open/public affection was the norm; he'd hold my hand walking through the casino or on the strip, face and arm caresses, french kissing everywhere, and our daily sex was multiple. Lol ... even with the soft water at our hotel, I had to buy us some lotion, because so many showers-a-day was drying my skin!!!
Joey is quite the charmer and a half when he wants to be: hilarious, caring, and even altruistic!!! In the same breath, when he's in a foul mood, he is an arse and half: vindictive, verbally/emotionally abusive, and physically destructive (i.e. holes punched in walls, cell phones thrown and shattered, or even 3 fractures in his right hand from punching a car window). So, I'll gladly welcome the good, and Liz can chance and accept the bad!!!
We are true friends!!! Though not as often as for a quickie hook-up, there have been MANY times that we got together to just hang out with one another, because one of us just needed a friend at the time. I do love him, and he me ... and I am beyond certain that there have been adolescent bouts of one of us actually being "In Love" with the other. So our relationship works out perfectly just as it is! Joey got a little miffed when I was dating Bryce and rebuffed his advances (even one with him pleading to just blow me ... and he was even willing to swallow, which is definitely not the norm)!!! Joey will always have an itch that needs to be scratched, but when I am in a committed relationship, I am sincere and true to that one person!!!
Needless to say, but Bryce and I didn't work out. I took Joey to go watch, "It: Chapter 2" when it first came out. Surprisingly, he has never had movie head (or road head for that matter until me)! We were the only ones in the theater, so I made my move, but he was still hurt over my rebuttal of his last advance. Lol ... I tried to tell myself that that was his loss, but I was truly craving his cock! He did initiate hand-holding while driving him back to his house (with Liz). He also did reach over, hug, and give me a peck on the lips saying, "Rejection hurts, doesn't it? Maybe next time, Husband."
I knew all was well when the next night he came to pick me up a bottle of Jack Daniels and a case of Budweiser! He'd already rented us a hotel room, and oh what a night!!!
