friends don't let friends hook up with other friends
lesson #1. if you hook up with a friend, you are virtually saying, terminate this friendship. that is one line even william b. travis wouldn't cross.
even if that amigo is a hot soccer player from honduras with a really sexy accent. even IF that comrade seduces you. even IF that boy was the last good thing you remember about being straight.
so while yes mr. central america was the great brown hope for all men that would eventually cross my path, he went down in glorious flames when we made out one careless summer night while watching al pacino try to tommy gun his way out of his mansion in scarface. my friend J vanished out of my life as memorably as pacino floating in that fountain.
see the thing is, when you hook up with a friend, you are erasing a little line called boundaries. boundaries keep the friendship working. they give us rules. and a framework, a constitution even. tell me - when has anarchy ever worked? this framework between friends makes the friendship long lasting and every bit as satisfying as the long LONG long tongue action you get. in the end, testing the limits of friendship will leave one person in an abyss of emotional hyperbole. (that was me btw)
so we kissed. sex got in the way. we complicated life. emotions got in the way. we lost. my best friend of nearly 3 years was eviscerated from my world. all in the time span of 1 month. so learn your lesson, dear readers, stay away from that juicy best pal of yours just because you want to jump his bones. lust will never work as the spine of a strong relationship. love is the key component.
