ANSWERING THE SIREN CALL

ANSWERING THE SIREN CALL

To be caught in an emotional turmoil was the last thing I expected I’d have to deal with when I resumed school for the final semester of my university education three months ago. I have a gay roommate who had reluctantly obliged my request to keep our relationship strictly platonic. I had a fuck buddy who, given his insistence, I’m surprised hasn’t assassinated me since I made it clear to him in no uncertain terms that I wouldn’t be accepting his longstanding request for us to be in a relationship. I’d given several evasive responses whenever he brought it up, which was often and sometimes during the weirdest of times. Heck, he once brought it up when I was violently nutting inside him. What am ambush.

When I couldn’t bear his persistence any longer, I had to let him know that I really couldn’t handle being in another relationship, at least not anytime soon. Truth was that I don’t think we are compatible enough for a relationship. I mean, once upon a time, I would have really dated him. This was about the period when he served as a big source of mental strength for me when I was having an emotional breakdown. Then I discovered that the gonorrhea I contracted was from him; my fuck buddy apparently had several fuck buddies of his own. And that just ended any need I might have had for us to be anything more serious than bedmates.

And then of course, there was my roommate’s friend. He is quite effeminate, something I’ve noticed I’m attracted to. Fair and vivacious with a glorious voice that seemed to stir my every being every time he sang in the room. He was aware of my sexuality and had made some passes at me, which I had to turn down because I didn’t want to risk my relationship with my roommate.

Finally, along came Luke. This was the one person I truly had the hots for since my breakup. His room was four doors away from mine. He is quite tall – a big turn-on for me – and has a laidback attitude. Sexy eyes with an enchanting smile. Most times, whenever I walked past him and he called out a greeting, I would find myself struggling with the best informal response that would communicate something, anything, without giving away too much. And then, there was his perfectly-sized derriere. I would look back at that ass and find myself fantasizing about all the fun my dick and I could have with it.

However, the hots I had for Luke faltered when I found out from a friend, Andy – who was his coursemate – that Luke was not only straight but homophobic. Andy would talk about the vile remarks Luke often made in their department whenever homosexual topics came up. This knowledge cast a pall over my desire for the guy.

So, there I was: managing a faltering brotherly relationship with an attractive gay roommate, battling an atrocious post-STI recovery period, containing the feelings of my roommate’s friend, and dealing with a huge crush on a supposedly straight, homophobic guy. Not at all where I thought I would be this semester.

However, despite what I now knew about Luke, I couldn’t resist the allure he presented for me. I didn’t know whether it was an unexplored desire to get back at my ex fuck buddy, seeing as he too was coursemates with Luke, or if this was simply the straight boy appeal that many a gay boy suffers. Whatever was the case, I still found Luke irresistible. Something that was ironic, considering how often I’d previously chastised my friends over their obsessions with straight guys.

Besides, I couldn’t even trust the source of what I knew about Luke. Andy was a bottom who I friendzoned soon after meeting him, even though he’d hinted at wanting us to hook up. How was I sure he didn’t say these things about Luke to frustrate any attempt I might make to get him?

Or perhaps, I couldn’t get over Luke because I’d noticed how he seemed to let his gaze linger on my chest, and even winked at me one time we bumped into each other on my way back from the bathroom. Maybe I’d imagined these things because I was diligently searching for a greenlight – or really, any light at all that wasn’t red. Lol.

However, because of my reserved nature, I couldn’t muster the courage to try anything. And so, we maintained our thing of greeting each other whenever we walked past each other.

That changed the day he made, what I judged was, an attempt at furthering our acquaintanceship.

My department had been tasked with producing the school magazine, and I was appointed the Submissions Manager. Part of my duty was constructing a broadcast message calling for entries for the magazine. The broadcast message, which had in it my work email and WhatsApp number, had been shared across several virtual groups in the school. That day, I was idly sifting through my WhatsApp messages without any attempt to reply any, when a new message from an unknown number dropped in.

It read: Hello, sir. This is Luke from the 200 Level Department of Mass Communication. I came across your message and was wondering if I could submit an article as well?

Really? I thought to myself as I began smiling a very wide smile, before clicking on the icon on the far-left corner of the page. The image that opened up immediately filled me with a rush of warmth. I wasn’t ready; I just sat there, feeling the surge of emotions flow through me as I stared at his bright face, slightly tilted upward, his left hand cupping the side of his neck.

This is definitely not a masculine pose, I thought, before quickly chiding myself for being stereotypical.

‘Yes, you can send in something,’ I typed back. ‘I hope you’re good though, because many articles will be discarded with the amount of entries we’re expecting.’ I really just wanted to prolong the chat by adding this last bit.

And it worked. Luke and I chatted further, with none of our exchanges pertaining to the magazine, the issue that had connected us. We just chatted about random things. I kept waiting to catch any hints, veiled references to either his sexuality or attraction for boys. I kept getting disappointed. He was even starting to exasperate me with his respectfulness toward me; always adding “sir” to every message he sent to me.

I was close to ending the chatversation – and perhaps my crush on him – ready to accept that my gaydar signal levels needed some serious upgrade, when he made another request. This time he wanted to borrow a textbook my department used in the previous session.

I told him I would check for the book. Then I swiftly messaged a coursemate of his, asking if their department had any requirement for the textbook. He said no, that there was nothing related to the book in their course outline. This confirmed my budding suspicions, solidified my hope that Luke just needed a gentle push to realise the things we could do together.

I decided at this point to step out of my comfort zone and take the bull by the horns.

I called Luke and asked him to come get the book from my room at a time when I was sure I would be alone. When he knocked and entered, he was wearing a tank top and really brief briefs. I instantly felt myself get hard. My god! I didn’t even stand a chance.

I stood up to hand him the book, making no attempt to conceal my hard-on, and noticed the slight lingering of his eyes on my nether region. He took the book and opened the first page before remarking at how nobody would try to steal the book, not with the way I’d branded my name on it. We both laughed, and then as he turned to leave, using all the willpower left in me, I reached for his arm and pulled him around.

Then I kissed him.

The brief moment the kiss lasted was heavenly. I actually felt him kiss me back. I also registered how lacking he was in the kissing department. Was he rusty or was he still finding himself? I found myself wondering in that micro moment.

Then the moment ended when he jerked himself away from me and bolted from the room.

The consequences of my ballsy (pun intended) move came swiftly. First, I noticed he’d blocked me on WhatsApp. Then he would either quickly head the other way or avert his face whenever we found ourselves walking toward each other.

And this has set me on the path of confusion and apprehension. I don’t know if I’d kissed a straight guy who might decide to out me anytime soon, or a queer guy still discovering himself. I don’t know what thoughts are going through his mind, what his thoughts are of me. I am still hugely attracted to him and that kiss, however brief it was, has even cemented those feelings. But I do not have the gumption to approach him for us to talk, because I don’t know what to expect.

I have lived a very discreet sex life in school right from my first year when I battled with accepting that I was also sexually attracted to boys, up to my current stage of self-discovery. I am also quite popular on campus. So, the repercussions of getting outed would be really scandalous. What do I do?

    Well just in case u still value your future reputation in school, u will do well to avoid that nigga. Infact next time u see him better apologise and tell him u were just high on drugs or something. He’s gay obviously but not yet ready to deal with it. A homophobic gay man is the most dangerous cos he will inflict any pain he feels about his sexuality on the nearest willing victim: aka YOU! It ain’t worth it bro. Abandon ship!!

              Sorry , there is no substantial evidence here to make me believe Luke is gay .

              Everything the writer thought about Luke giving him the greenlight probably existed in his phantasmagoric illusions .

              The writer mentioned he is pretty popular – did it ever occur to you that Luke might just want to be friends with the popular guy ?

              The aplomb friendliness *

              Asking for a text not in his curriculum *

              Humans have always gravitated to popular personalities – in school where clique and social status means a lot , Luke might have had a zillion and one reasons for wanting to be palsy walsy with the writer … having his straight homophobic lips forcefully ravaged might not be one of them ???

        The guy is some type of gay. lol. A straight guy would have retaliated swiftly somehow. The evasive attitude can only come from a gay man who is still struggling, weighing how he feels about the kiss with how much consequence he should visit on the person who gave him what he wasn’t ready for.

            I was answering a question about how the guy might be gay, and offered nothing by way of my opinion about the kiss.

      I honestly agree, but in reality boy do you think you are living in some 80’s romcom. You don’t ever, ever and i mean ever kiss another man in Nigeria without him kissing you first, no matter the quote unquote signals you might have received. You need to make this right walk up to him blame it on the drugs, the devil something but make sure you have a conversation with the kid because only the good lord knows what is festering in his mind and God forbid the hell he is about to unleash. Just like ken said homophobic gay men are demons of destruction and that’s on periodt.

                      I may not have your two PHDs and I don’t intend on having them either , but one thing for sure , I know how to make money and KEEP it .?

          I guess all that Raii is tryna put out there is that there should be a sort of agreement or consent from the other person first or between the two people involved lest you follow your passions and kiss a tarantula thinking it’s a harmless frog prince ???
          (You just don’t wanna get stung).

          It makes no sense. Someone must make a move at some point.

    You need to apologize as you’ve been told and do it in person and blame it on whatever u choose but pls don’t do it via text as he could have it as evidence to really out u.. And just in case he still decide to out u, first u need to confide in ur queer ally so as to gather minions to ur defense and make it his word against you and ur ‘others’ (operation damage control). May rainbow Jesus be on ur side.. Peace

    This reminds me of my childhood friend Onyeka. He was a bit older than me and I would go to their house to play during holidays. It was easier for me cos we lived in the same neighbourhood. I was twelve and knew I was attracted to boys. Never knew the word “gay” and used to think I was the only “weird” boy. I had a very religious background that I would hide in my cocoon thinking that letting someone else know how “unnatural” I felt would disrepute me, and that my parents might get wind of it.

    Onyeka was lecherous with girls and that often made me think I was abnormal. But, he would kiss me, rub his dick in front of me, touch my erogenous zones and get jealous when I seemed to get too attached to someone else. This made me really confused cos I knew he was into girls. I didn’t know anything about ‘bisexuality’ so each time he made attempts to get me in the mood, I’d shove him off.

    I look back now, and fantasize about what I’d missed in Onyeka: The touch of his dick when he dry-humped me, the warmth of his breath, the sight of his swollen dick when he jerked off in front of me, his overprotective, caring and loving nature which I took for granted. They all overwhelmed me that I intentionally disengaged myself from Onyeka.

    T-man, I think you acted too rashly. You could have waited for the two of you to be friends first before making any move; to make him adjust and become comfortable.You can’t quite tell if he is gay now. Maybe a curious guy who is still on a journey of self-discovery and is not just ready to delve into it yet. Thus, you owe him an apology. Let him know that you still want to stay friends. That way, you two could get along.

      Thanks man. Your advice is just lit! However, it has been several days since the issue and Luke hasn’t outed me, at least not yet. He’s gone back to the genial guy that he was with his incessant greetings. He’s also unblocked me on Whatsapp, probably an indication he’s now made peace with himself.

      But I’ve decided not to approach him for any further discussion not academic related. He knows my sexuality already, so if he feels he needs to explore any nascent homosexual part of him – if any – he could hit me up.

      In the meantime, I’ll keep praying to the rainbow gods to grant me the fortitude to numb my feelings.

        Hmmmm….I think you should approach him and still apologize to him. He will appreciate it and your little misstep will definitely over look. Anything after that will be on him to make the move. But please apologize to him.

    And he hasn’t

      The fuckery! You couldn’t be more apt! ? Awon “you’ve got a friend in me” people. But those kinda friends are really cool having around. My best friend is straight though we’ve kissed once – I sent an entry on this sometime ago – but he’s always interested in my homosexual adventures. Wonder what turns him about them.

      You should be careful though with the number of straight guys you’re making overtures at.?

    You do realise you very likely sexually assaulted him? It’s irrelevant if he was gay or not.. or how you were feeling etc.
    Imagine someone you had no feelings for or attraction to, approached you with a hard on and kissed you….. the reaction is usually shock and then fight or flight response.

    You owe him an apology at the very least, what you did was inappropriate. I would also be wary of him being friends again…. he could very well have told someone and they’re waiting for you to slip up.

    Dunno mehn, emm next get a consent or at least do the initial ground work before attempting to kiss a guy like that, even if I were gay, and you attempt to kiss me out of the blue, I go clap you. cause kissing is more intimate than actually fucking to me

    Seems you’re a new gay, when I said initial ground work, this is what it entails.
    – at least b friends first, get to know a guy, study him,get those intimate details out first, play alittle head psychology, make him comfortable with you.

    – test out possible sexual scenario on him and gauge his response, if you were in this situation where a guy made a pass at you, what would you do?. Stuff like that. Do not take this answer as an indication of anything, it’s about how he says it ,not what his saying.

    -get a consent, don’t just lean in and kiss, humans go through shock, they’ve got shock absorption too, let it kick in, so it overrides reaction time. No body, atleast straight or would be straight, wakes up in the morning expecting a kiss from another man. But given ample time, enough time them they might just be curious.

    I was shagging a guy, a straight one and here I was struggling to fit it in, be gentle and build up alittle sweat and this nigga was laughing and apologizing, it was truly his first time and he’s not gay, in his word “getting in bed with another guy is just funny, that laugh was his shock absorption, his reaction, how he was copying with it. Now it took me 2 months to get his mind to that place.

    What to do in this your situation ?.
    Mehn, avoid the nigga, it never happened, live like it never happened, cause it didn’t. And if worst comes to worst and you’d have come face to face with accusations, challenge boldly and be very irritated by the idea of such, don’t over do it, don’t be defensive but let the distain be visible.

    That’s how a real straight man would react to any gay allegation. Against but not defensive, plausible yet impossible. Avoid throwing him under the bus, if you can.

    My flatmate told me twice last night that she “loves” me. Once over the phone, the other as she was leaving my room, said, “Good night, I love youuu”. I just shook my head. We’ve lived together four months now and this is the first time. She’s looking for trouble. Doesn’t know I’m gay. She go think say na play. The day I’ll grab her and kiss her ehhn.

    OK, in this kissing first, when to kiss and who to kiss problem, all I can say is; asking for someone’s permission before kissing d person can be unromantic sometimes especially when d person also wants to kiss you. So in order not to violate someone who doesn’t have mutual feelings as you, a suggestion is to lean in slowly before kissing d person. This might sound ridiculous but the wasted time will give d person time to think whether he actually wants it or he doesn’t get down like that. Just my suggestion tho, I stand to be corrected.

    OAN, concerning d story, I think d writer should go ahead and apologize to d Luke guy. This would give him morale to approach you if he also has feelings for you or not to take it seriously and personal if the feeling isn’t mutual.

    Please T-man even if this is coming late, apologize to him. Perhaps do it verbally…. sending a text message might be evidence if your village People decide to do their work later on. Just walk up to him apologize and leave… dramatically…
