Circle jerks, frat initiations and touching penises: bromosexuals

The latest ad from Andrew Christian stars “bromosexual” men.

“A guy who is bromosexual is ‘totally straight.’ In fact, he will punch you in the face if you say that he’s gay,” the ad explains. “He’s so totally straight that he has sex with tons of chicks — so he says. Sure, his bro might be in the room with him, maybe videotaping it — with lots of close-ups of the penis — or doing the same girl at the same time, with their penises touching . . .”

Bromosexuals “always hang out in the showers at the gym and, yeah, maybe he was in a few circle jerks in middle school. And sure, he puts his penis and testicles on his friends’ faces every chance he gets when they’re passed out drunk. And sure, that frat initiation thing was a bit weird, but . . . he is ‘totally, 100 percent not gay.’”
