I disagree with your assessment here, Eric was exploring here, he didn't know the 'rules' per say. Yes your right about about Eric's past tryst, but he was fueled by Jansen's prompting and his urge. Eric is Eric, blunt but by no meaning to, he is simply reacting to what was given to him in the past. Maybe he should have taken that San Franciscan trip and explored his feelings with Cody. But, still you can't totally blame Eric in this one, Come on Jansen initiated the touch in the first place! Eric had no clue other then one night stands here, sigh, maybe the bi-kid will wake up, maybe not. Not everyone is gay, Me thinks Eric will confront Jansen and tell him it was just a lustful encounter, nothing more!
