Being open minded is the first step toward so many things in life in general, and sex specifically. Being willing to try something new is a big step for Neil. So great to see him explore. hopefully, Alex is willing to let things grow naturally for the two of them. It seems that he is open to learning, as well.

Neil reminds me of a buddy from my college days. He was very adventurous sexually but it had to remain a secret from everyone. The day he thought someone might know what was going on, he packed up and moved from Lexington to Indianapolis. That was almost 40 years ago. I personally never heard from him again. I know from others that he’s a divorced father of three. Wife left because he kept getting caught with men. Hopefully, Neil is smarter.

I miss Slav! Hot bears coming of age will always get my attention.😈🐻🔥😉 Jason also has potential.

This has been a great story. Will you be picking this up soon, @Robert Hugill

I like the fact that Neil took the initiative to test the waters. So much easier for everyone when the straight man makes the first move. I’m really impressed by the slow gradual move toward a relationship. Very rewarding to be friends that happen to fall into bed than f**k buddies that have to decide whether they like each other or not.

The foundation to have been put in place. I look forward to seeing the characters develop. lila seems like she is going to be a handful. Charlie is an enigma. Neil on the other hand seems to be more than curious about Alex. Based on the title, I assume they become more than just chums. I’m really looking forward to seeing how things evolve for the two of them.

Very interesting trajectory for the characters. Definite growth for all of the main characters. Each one seems to have found themself and ready to truly take off. it was a good story and more importantly, I see great opportunity for each character to play significant parts in future stories. maybe one of the minor buildings could become a pub. Wouldn’t it be great to have Boots and Jocks just outside your back door? I personally would enjoy the thought of Charlie, Gus, Joss, and Tom strutting their bits about with a pint in hand while Louis frantically tries to sketch. The Dick-ionary could gain valuable material!

I share your appreciation for the characters’ growth

The prospects that are now open for discussion are enormous. Gus is willing to pose for Louis. It sounds like Joss and PJ are as well. All of these hot men on display and the possibility of seeing more of them at a “boots and jocks” event. The pace of things is really picking up, but still no clue as to the location of the artifact.

The characters are really growing. Developing bigger personalities. It’s great to see the story evolve. Looking forward to seeing how things develop and whether the revelation of the artifact’s location affects each of them. wouldn’t it be a twist that Ian has known the location all along? Aunt was using it as a door stop or to prop the window open in her sewing room when she wanted just a little breeze. It’s been lying at the foot if her bed since her passing. Nobody asked him, so he didn’t bring it up!

That is a showing I’d attend. Many years ago, when I was living in the French Quarter, a local men’s bar had a similar photo album. It was called the “Dick-ionary”. A collection of men that frequented the bar. I thought it great to see how my i could recognize. Most of us played volleyball, tennis, etc. so had seen each other in the locker room often, or in the dark rooms at various clubs (including Club New Orleans). I think men should be more comfortable with being seen by other men. Just consider the options. Grouped by various sports, leather clubs, or even neighborhoods in the city.

I picture it being used to hold a door closed or as something to balance an uneven table or cabinet

It is great to see the characters developing. It would be fun to see the characters develop further in a sequel with fun, romance, and more interaction. This is a great core group. I’d like to see whether Charlie, Lewis, PJ, and JB might develop a friendship. Tom and Ian are growing into themselves. There are multiple options. Although, I am curious to learn whether the artifact materializes and has a major effect.

Charlie is a great character to develop as a romantic interest. He is sensitive, roughly handsome, and a skilled artist. Hard for him not to become someone’s romantic interest, in addition to a fun time in bed. although, I would characterize this story as more mystery. A little extra romance never hurts

Great holiday where everyone had the comfort of being who they need to be. I’m really looking forward to following them as they fit these people back into the life that waits at home.
