    May I ask your input in this so 1 know if it's just my gay delusion ass wanting it to be real or if the other guy is doing it on purpose.

    So I've had 3 separate encounters now where I've seen this hot Latino and his hung softie. First time it was like damn and trying to not stare. Second time it almost seemed intentional with how long he would dry him and even tugged on it a couple times after we both showered and happen to come out at the same time. Third time today, he was in the locker room after showering and drying himself as I walk in. I do my bicep flex post workout and I see he's still drying himself. There's one other dude so I'm trying to not look as I open my locker and then glance over to him still drying but focus on dick. Then is full in nude after the other guy leaves and I can't help but look at his dark tan dick. While he's throwing on underwear, he does take his time and even lingers a little before moving his dick inside.

    Which I found interesting cause the second encounter he turned around to throw on his underwear. After that he gets dressed after throwing on some coconut body lotion. Same thing happened again. He was facing my direction as he lotioned his dick whereas last time he turned around to do so.

    So I'm like is he doing it in on purpose or am I just delusional

    Advice column:

    Dear Handbasket After Dark,

    May I call you Handbasket?

    Long time listener, first time writer here requesting advice from fellow homos.

    About 6 months ago I moved to Boston from California to move in with my partner. While I’m thankful to have his ring of friends to hang out with at any time in this new city, I’m still struggling to find my own friends and community out here. What would be your best advice in trying to find friends? The gay scene out here isn’t as…dare I say robust as it was back in California and the weather definitely doesn’t help.

    With love and thirst for Carlos’ chest,

    Fernando.
