Bendy

2023 | Contemporary | LGBTQ+ | Romance

Straight guy (24M, photographer) tries to cheer up his straight best friend (24M, electrician) by talking about feelings…

What happens when Josh comes home to find his roommate and best friend, Ben, still moping around after his split with his girlfriend? Nothing good, because instead of doing the smart thing like getting Ben drunk and throwing darts at a wall, Josh decides to make Ben spill about the breakup.

The next thing he knows, their conversation about erectile dysfunction shifts into kissing. Turns out, Josh's straight is a little bit bendy, and Ben's straight is about as rigid as a rubber band. Ending up in bed together isn't what Josh expected, but who could blame him? Ben is hot as hell and twice as needy, and he's a sucker for a man who doesn't quite know what he wants but is willing to jump with him into just about anything.
