His Little Secret Is What Friends Are For: a Straight-to-gay Roommates Story of Size and Submission in Buddy Book

When my shy roommate finally told me why he never brought girls home, I almost believed the reason he gave me.

And something in me I didn’t have a name for came to the surface.

What I stumbled upon in his laptop told me everything, what he watched alone, what he wanted, what he’d never had the nerve to ask for.

I came to him with a plan. Something we could justify. Something that sounded like helping.

My best friend almost believed me.

I think he wanted to.
