I'm not quite sure what to make of this study because, at first glance, you think this can't be real, right? And then you think, oh my gosh, it is real. According to research published in sex roles, a journal of research, who doesn't get that delivered to the house? I mean, I try to just get that delivered right to my email box, so I don't have to even wait for the postal service to deliver it.

There's a strong desire to cuddle and hug between bromatic friends, while kissing is just another way of showing affection. One of the students involved told the authors, you can lie in bed with your bromance, have a cuddle, just talk. Well, another said he understood it as having a cuddle buddy. A third thought cuddling, hugging, and sex jokes were a core part of the romantic relationship. Now, for those of you that aren't aware of what a bromance is, It's been defined as an emotionally intense bond between straight men.

Okay. Now, before I go on, I would like, I am like, I'm almost not a heterosexual male. Okay. I mean, some days I just depends. Don't look at me like that. I mean, I can identify whatever the hell I want, when I want. Got it? Don't look across it.

Don't look at me like that. And I have lived with other men. Now let me rephrase that. I have shared living space with other men. I have friends that I've known for years that are identifying as a male, as I normally do. and I have never wanted to use them as a cuddle buddy. Now, maybe it would have evolved. I mean, sure, you sit around and you drink and you smoke or whatever

and you watch movies, you hang out, you know, whatever. Maybe I didn't evolve fast enough. Maybe it would have ended up with, ah, just come here, baby. Just come here, cuddle. You need a hug, baby. A little, Lucas? No. I'm sorry.

No. If would I consider an emotionally intense bond between straight men of bromance? Yes, I've had that. I understand under oath, yes. Do I think that if you are cuddling and kissing your bro, that you're having an emotionally intense bond between straight men? No, I do not. In all 29 of 30 men who took part said they cuddled their bromatic partner.

It'd be fascinating to see what they're, what they're, I mean, what you and I think is cuddling. Fascinating what they think is cuddling. Don't think about that too long. The latest work also backs a 2012 study that found 89, 10% of 145 surveys, it's not 145. I mean, it's real small. Undergraduate heterosexual men had kissed on the lips. It doesn't say whether they were sober.

I mean, there's so many jokes, and it's just, I have to, I'm, I am toning myself down for you. You're welcome. One participant said, guys nowadays, nowadays, in my generation. okay well right there I got it I'm the old guy there is so much

kissing between guys because it's showing affection 888903033 is the phone number I'd like to know if you are in the kissing because it's a showing

affection generation added I hug and kiss my bromance and tell him I love him an emotionally intense bond between straight men is what a bromance is. Participants also talked about how comfortable they were to be naked around their bromances. You know what?

I'm kind of barely comfortable to be naked around myself. You know, for the most part. One participant said, I live in a house with three other guys and there are massive bromances going on between us. Okay. You know, good for you. But that is not necessarily, a straight relationship.

Sorry, it's just not. It's okay. But I don't necessarily think I would call it a bromance. Now, what makes this okay? I don't know. I don't know. Because they also walk around naked.

Look, I've got no problem standing naked in a room with my housemates. We feel comfortable being naked around each other. Is it a porn shoot? I mean, come on. The study was conducted across a three-month period between August 2014 and November 2014 and involved semi-structured interviews into the friendship. What does that mean? Semi-structured interviews.

Into the friendship experiences of 30 undergraduate men who identified as heterosexual or mostly heterosexual. Mostly heterosexual, I would say, leans this. They were enrolled in one of the four undergraduate sports. degree at the university of uh in uh in england says you're at at a single uk university at a university of k Kentucky okay guarantee you well it is the bluegrass rate i've no idea what that means so i mean that's where we're at right that's where we're at it just doesn't doesn't matter love the one you're with listen if you can't can't be with the one you love.
