I was looking at rooms for rent in the student newspaper. A students has a four bedroom house. One block off campus with two bedrooms left. The house paid for by a parent they were subsiding their income by renting out the extra bedrooms. The ad said four hundred plus utilities. About one hundred dollars a month. I had to purchase my own food and clean up after myself.

I show up for an tour and interview at 11 am. Two fairly normal looking students show me around. All the bedrooms are upstairs It was a huge house. Awesome backyard. We sit in the living and attempt to get to know each other. Timothy's father owed the house. He was a second year Music major. He plays the piano daily. Daniel was a second year student and the two of them went to high school together. He was here for Business Admin.

We were doing a round table of asking each other questions. It was two against one. The door bell rings and It is applicant number two. They want me to stay we all could be roommates. Keith like me was a freshman. While I was more football he was more basketball. 6'3" and all legs. He is undeclared and taking general education classes.

The four of us are having a blast learning about each other. Timothy was the bartender. Keith explains thought he and his girlfriend were getting an apartment together. He father refused to pay for that. She pitched a fit and now he refuse to pay for her college at all unless she goes to a different college. They just broke up after two years of hot sex and he is freaking out. I admit to being a virgin. Too many girls back home was looking for a baby daddy. If I wanted to go to college I could not risk it.

Timothy says there are a few things we should know. Timothy and Daniel having been sharing girlfriends for years. Occasionally they share each other. Clueless me I asked

Are you saying about you to do gay stuff with each other in between girlfriends?

Timothy - No we are more boyfriends than straight but we love to have three ways with a females. You two are safe we only have gay sex with each other. You can have sleepovers with who ever you want to. Just make sure you don't put us or our stuff at risk.

Keith say's I cool five a month and so close to campus. What do I have to do to get you to say yes.

I ask so is there a lease how long is it for and what happens if we find out we hate each other after five weeks.

Timothy - My dad has a one page MOU that you agree to pay and it can be canceled at any time by anyone with a forty -five day notice. Giving anyone time to find a new place.

I say I am in if you guys say yes. We Zelle money and sign the MOU and get key's. My jeep was grateful to be empty. My back was thrilled with the mattress. For a poor kid from Illinois this was a huge step up, and I felt guilty about texting the pictures but my mother insisted. Dad reminded me their mortgage payment on their house was less, then my one bedroom.

I get most stuff put away and crash just to wake up Saturday morning at 10 AM to piano music that I must say was extremely impressive and music to wake up to. Along with the pot of coffee I could smell. I come out wearing flip flops and shorts to find that coffee. I find Keith naked and pouring himself a cup. I am thinking his butt cheeks are implants, a little too perfect, and slightly girly. He catches me looking smiles and say check out the note on the frig.

Note: For free rent next month New Rule: Get and stay naked fifteen minutes of arriving home and don't get dressed no more that fifteen minutes before you leave. (use a timer on phone)

Keith - I would be naked if this was my place, I love free rent. So, what do you think? Too Gay?

I dropped my shorts expose myself freaked when he said damn nice bro. Then he reminded my I was looking at his butt. A jock all my life I have seen a lot of guys naked, never gave it much thought except to compare myself. I was thinking about girls at night every night. It was how I fell asleep. Jennifer what's her name form TV was my go to fantasy to fall asleep to. Tonight she looked a lot like Keith in what would be my first gay dream. About fifteen seconds of me touching that butt and then I wake up. I can't go out to the kitchen like this.

All four of us at home and two of us naked with two wearing almost see through shorts, leaving nothing to the imagination. Then a test by the two HOA managers as the doorbell rings and four young ladies walk in ready for lunch. There we were two freshman hunks of meat on full display. All the attention was extremely arousing. A buffet of meats and cheese and fresh fruit was put out and the girls all kind of pair off. I am talking to Sherry and Keith and Julie are getting personal. The HOA disappears to a bedroom the Keith does. In the most polite way possible I keep my virgin status but we both had a blast right there in the living room. This is how I survived high school.

Wow... Keith and I were freaking, sitting outside on the patio checking out if anyone can see us sitting there naked. Tim and Daniel join us for a conversation about earlier. They show us a black book of names of girls they have played with while acting a lot more like boyfriends right there in front of us. My Baptist grandparents are rolling over in their graves if that is real and they can see this. My first mistake was thinking let just see where this is heading. I could at any time just start paying rent. Right?

Tim's answer was yes, of course. Then I got a lecture about the use of condoms, and that my fear of becoming a daddy was going to make me gay. He seems to think every female on the planet is on birth control. No one in college wants to have babies that crap is for high school. That my friends was a homosexual seed planted in my brain to take up space. Guy don't have babies, just have sex with them instead. Weird it also had an effect on Keith who just had sex without a condom.

Classes started the next day, and the four of us become a more normal roommates still naked, but focused on classes. Evan the HOA was busy doing homework together at the kitchen table. Friday night I order delivery with a plan to read my whole English Course Book over the weekend. The Idea is to get ahead of what is happening in class so it makes more since when we get to it. The big picture view of what I was learning.

Naked on my bed company shows up. It was seven gay dudes ready for a party. I refused to leave my room and talk to each of them for ten to twenty minutes standing in my doorway. All asking for a invite to enter, I kept say no I am trying to study, and I have never done gay stuff. Not one person entered the room, I guy left pissed say I get it no means no.

Keith on the other hand seem to be enjoying all the attention. I did exit my room for a trip to the bathroom. I witness Keith sitting on the edge of his bed and gay stuff is happening.

We make eye contact and he gives me a thumbs up sign. I finish the leak and get to my room and close my door to the bedroom. Turn off my lights and go to bed trying to get that picture out of my head.

This was a choice of a new PS5 and free rent or pay rent wear clothes, and be normal. As the good Baptist boy I am I fall asleep going doing the list, what would my dad do, what would my mom do, what would Jesus do? I finally got stuck on... What would a straight guy do, What would a gay guy do... and What do I really want?

I wake up first on Saturday, make a pot of coffee and sit at my desk and computer and google gay vs straight men with a curious mind eager to delve into this subject. I find myself drawn to understanding the diverse experiences, challenges, and of gay men in our society. From historical perspectives to what the hell was normal now in 2023?

Joel Mittleman, a University of Notre Dame sociologist and the paper’s sole author, found that on an array of academic measures, gay males outperform all other groups on average, across all major racial groups. Some 6 percent of gay men have a Ph.D., J.D. or M.D. — a rate 50 percent higher than that of straight men. University of Notre Dame sociologist Joel Mittleman found that gay men’s considerably higher levels of educational attainment hold even after taking into account differences in men’s race and birth cohorts. My research on gay men becomes a journey of self-discovery, prompting me to reflect on my own biases, assumptions, and privileges.

I was preprogramed to react a certain way to everything. As a nineteen year old freshman trying to be an adult and make responsible choices. An Calendar app on my phone sends me a reminder that made me cry for a second. My parents anniversary is next week, a week before by birthday yet the same year. This had to be a mistake but that was the date on my mother's Facebook account. The reason not to have sex in high school like my parents did. My mother had just turned sixteen and dad was eighteen and that made it legal for them to get married. Dad got a job instead of college and mom would get a GED after I was born. They were Baptist this is what happens.

Keith stops at my door to say thanks for making coffee it is really good what did I do different?

I say, I add a pinch of salt to cut the bitter taste. He asks if we could talk outside on the patio. I grab my coffee and follow. He then tells me he did it with a girly gay guy last night. He is a bit freaked out, then he calls he ex-girlfriend and tells if they don't get back together he will probably end up gay.

Weird I find myself telling him not to freak out there are worse choices the gay sex. Our parents never took the time to challenge what they were taught and pasted all that crap on to us. We have to decide for ourselves what we want without all their preprograming making our choices.

Keith starts freaking out and runs down a list of top five highlight. Great kisser no difference, but everything else was so much better with that dude than even my girlfriend. How does that happen. She taught me everything, and I taught her everything and turns out we did know crap about have sex.

I say welcome to the difference between high school and college. What you were taught and the reality. He points out I am in the sun naked and should apply sun screen handing me the bottle. I politely say... Put it on for me. Confused but with a smile he complies. After he was done he got personal. He did gay stuff to me a first time for both of us. Things are getting rather intense. I say stop please not here.

He freaks. Please follow me to my room and be my first. One time just to see what it's like. We figure it out from there with that information. He stands to show me his butt and offer his hand to help me stand up. I take his hand and think to myself.

Two guy dudes rent rooms to two straight freshman and preprogram them to question everything. Plant a few ideas, and two young men find out they love gay stuff, and possibly each other.

Keith and I would get our own apartment second semester. We still kept that naked rule. The HOA recruited two more freshman students to help put ideas in their heads. The question on my mind. Were we freshman looking for an apartment or something else entirely.
