New research has revealed that heterosexual men in “bromances” are likely to share cuddles and kisses.

The study analysed 30 British undergraduate sports students and their relationships with their best male friends.

It found that most of these men had formed close bonds with their closest pals, despite what masculine stereotypes may have led you to believe.

The research, which was published in Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, found that those who were studied would often have physical contact in the form of hugs and sometimes kisses.

Adam White, the researcher for the study, explained that this type of “bromance” was probably more than best friend status and more like a brotherly love.

White explained: “Participants suggested, for example, that a bromantic friend was ‘someone who is literally there for you all the time’ and ‘will always be there to back you up if you need it’.”

He added that all participants in the study had at least one friendship which they would consider to be a “bromance”.

“A bromance is between friends whose mutual support is perceived as limitless and unwavering. All of the participants said they had at least one relationship they would class as a bromance,” White added.

As well as offering emotional support, White explained that “non-sexual physical intimacy” was a normality in a “bromance”.

“All but one of the men interviewed engaged in cuddling and spooning their bromances, and most had kissed their bromances.

“They said things like: ‘You can lie in bed with your bromance, have a cuddle and just talk’,” White added.

I've actually never seen a purely qualitative study until this point. Like, they literally just document quotations from the interviews in this paper and that's the entire thing.

I would say Americans are a lot more strange.

Any closeness between two males is regarded in a repulsive way. It's immature.

They're probably talking about people who are actually comfortable with their sexuality.

I've played football. I've spanked dudes asses and slept in the same bed as some of them.

Never seen any of them celebrating their close bonds with kisses.

Can confirm ironic cuddling tho

I'm very comfortable with my sexuality, just the thought of cuddling and kissing dudes turns that into discomfort. I don't even kiss my dad.

It's a thing some Current Events posters do to try and feel morally superior. People make too much a fucking big deal about sexuality. I hug men and my boys. But I've never kissed my dad or my sons. It's nothing to do with sexuality it's a person's personal level of what they're comfortable with. Why waste time caringif hugging a man or not hugging man has any bearing on your sexuality. To me the whole kit and caboodle is silly.

Straight guys will do this stuff jokingly to each other, but rarely ever seriously.

Male celebs are definitely not a reliable source of confirmation since they'll do practically anything for shock value and their typical lives can be several degrees separated from the existences of regular men.

Yeah many celebrities live off in their own world, some of the weird shit they do is insane.

lol more like if you're kissing the same gender on the lips and still pretend you're straight then you're extremely insecure.

It's basically a fancy way of saying "no homo". I really don't see that as gay propaganda
