I don't know...is "emo" still a thing? I am so not up-to-date and unhip, so I don't know. I see dudes who look like "emo boys" fairly often, but I don't know if they are still called that. Back in my day, they were sometimes called "alternative" or "goth" (depending on level of darkness) or, less charitably, "fags." Well, whether the terminology is current or not, I can say that I wholeheartedly endorse the premise of such boys kissing one another, making out, groping and teasing with the prospect that maybe, just maybe, they will full-on do each other. So how did I get off on this weird tangent?
Well, I was doing some research for a work-in-progress and wanted a picture of two dudes kissing that I could use for reference as I described my handsome characters doing the same. Words were failing me, and my description was falling flat, so I figured if I had a still image in front of me showing what I was after, then I could get the details of how their mouths and eyes should look like and where their hands ought to be (assuming they were somewhere other than in each others' crotches). A Google search for "dudes kissing" quickly brought to the websites Emo Corner and EmoBucket, the main attraction of both (at least from my standpoint) being photos of emo boys kissing. While EmoBucket seems to have a lot more photos of more different dudes doing this than Emo Corner does, Emo Corner offers this odd bit of information:
"Emo boys kissing.yummy. Considered to be the hottest thing in the emo scene. Usually there is no attraction behind the act of emo guys kissing [italics mine] They just do it because they can, and they know girls think it's hot! Boy, are they right, there is just something about it that makes chicks just want to see more. However, sometimes there is a attraction behind the kiss."
Ahem! I see. So, if true, these boys sucking each other's faces off and swallowing each other's spit are probably actually mostly str8 buddies just having a good time, enjoying each other's company in their emo style, with the added benefit of being all fucking HAWT in front of (even FOR!) their girlfriends. If this is actually true, then good for them. But...hmmm. Don't get me wrong: I would love it if it were true that there exists a subculture of str8 boys who are totally cool with kissing each other even as they ready themselves for a night of str8 sex with the girlfriends that they are turning on with their lip-locking. But I have some doubt.
Here's a fan-video documenting the phenomenon. Yeah, no attraction there at all.
