It's more like male bonding taken to a different level.

Mr Fisher.'If guys can be with gals for no romance type sex, then alternatively, can't guys be romantic with each other with out sex.
It's the total decoupling of sex and emotions and reapplying them where needed.  
After all, guys already have similar interests, so why not bond with them?
Woman have been doing this for years, and no one accuses them of being dykes for doing so.
Let's here it guys:  Kumbaya

ROFLMAO Funniest post I have read in a while,Mr Fisher, though much of what you say is true, while lacking a few  specifics, when male
bonding gets totally out of hand.
Exactly why I never joined a fraternity.
I could never be a guys guy,banana wrestling in the dorm ,instead of chasing ladies..
Nothing up my ass, unless the right woman is holding it.
 Cheers.
