While I agree with @Summerabbacat I think we could refer to them as the gayzen. Now, we don't know what kinks they may have, but there could be a couple of 'daddies' in the group.

Ruth is something else. I'm in a relationship with someone else and I'm breaking up with you. You should be upset. Why aren't you upset?

This chapter brought back memories of 2020 for me too. We were restricted to travel within our LGA or withing 5km of our home. I live in a large LGA outside of Sydney so I had scope for 'essential' travel. I have friends who are a retired couple and live in a small LGA and used the 5Km of their home rule. As a result they got to know every walkway, park and cafe withing 5km of their home. (Leaving home for exercise was permitted). Schools and universities were messy. Sometime open for (mask covered) face to face teaching and sometimes on line. I was lucky. I didn't catch COVID19 and didn't have any side effects from the vaccinations so have stayed up to date. I had my latest COVID vaccination about a month ago. One thing I do remember with smile was the willingness of people where I live to wear a mask and stand spaced 1.5 metres apart in queues. It was however a serious time and I feel for people who died and especially for people who were unable to visit their dying relatives and friends.

Martin is generous to Justin even though it could give Justin more dots to join. Ray stays in this story, although this shows Nathan has experience working with victims of sexual assault.

Sex education is a fraught area. Often, parents who are too embarrassed to provide sex education to their own children want to dictate what they want (or more often don't want) in sex education courses. This can result in sex education courses that are incomplete and not as informative as young people want.

Benjamin and Justin are experienced enough to give Martin all the information he needs at this stage. 😉

Yes, The turmoil in Ray's past has been resolved to some extent. Glad you saw the humour in the sex talk role reversal. Martin is still hiding a lot about himself from Benjamin and Justin and also from Nathan.

Yes, @VBlew, Ray's attitude was molded by his previous sexual abuse experience. Things are now better for him and for the restaurant. In his meeting with Justin, Rick commented that he didn't think Martin and Nathan knew how to have sex together. Now at least Martin has some ideas. How will Nathan respond?

So true @akascrubber, so true!

Martin and Nathan have a lot to explore, especially now Martin has had 'the talk'. Let them enjoy Easter. After Easter, who knows?

I loved that one too.

Justin is physically and emotionally becoming more part of the family, apart from some minor insecurities. Yes, the opportunity to give Martin a gay sex talk was payback for both of them. How often do young gays have to sit through straight sex "education" and not have their own questions answered?

Me building up to more turmoil! What makes you think that @Ticklishboy30?

Thank you @chris191070. Things seem to be running smoothly, don't they. At least Martin knew who to go to for gay sex advice, even though he outed himself to Benjamin and Justin.
