1. SAME STUFF, DIFFERENT COLOR

    Today’s reader finds herself in an awkward competition.

    Me and my best friend, who is a gay guy, went out for drinks one night to scope out some men. Five cosmos later, we had both found one. Unfortunately, we both had our eye on the same guy. This isn’t a problem we run into often, so we decided to turn it into a friendly competition. We expected the guy to choose between us, but it turned out we were both options. 

    “I don’t have a preference,” he said. “I’m bisexual.” So now the competition had heated up and I was downing drinks and flirting shamelessly. He said he wanted to go home with me so I was pretty happy that I had beat out my friend until on the way home I realized that I was on my period. I didn’t want to admit that I should have just let my friend go home with him because he wouldn’t have had this problem.

  2. ONE THREESOME TWO MANY

    Today’s contributor is caught off guard by a startling proposition

    I met Colin at a bar, and since he was relatively cute and had several visible tattoos, he met all of my one-night stand criteria.  I took him back to my apartment, and from then on we started hooking up regularly.

    Eventually, I noticed a small, unidentifiable blip on my gaydar.  Don’t get me wrong — that boy was as straight as they come in bed.  I informed my friends of my lingering suspicion, but they all assured me it was false. 

    I continued hooking up with him and had brushed off my gay theory, until one night when I was hanging out with him and his friend Mike. Colin and I were on my bed flirting, and I told him that he should ask Mike to leave, given that we were awkwardly subjecting him to our noticeable foreplay.  Instead, he insisted that I invite Mike to “join us.” I’m no stranger to unconventional sex, but this proposition caught me completely off guard.
