He, he... You got a Mason update, even though I missed this comment!
You're right, Joel is more complex than meets the eye. This was his fantasy, not for all perhaps...
I'm glad you could see Lucas role in this so clearly. He only wants Joel to experience life to the fullest, even if he is too shy to ask. Multiple partners aren't for everyone, but for some. I didn't get a predator vibe from Dean. I think he's a very caring guy. Just into big subs...
Joel was happy but overwhelmed!
