"A few years ago, I, a 21-year-old man, agreed to take part in a stupid frat hazing activity. Unbeknownst to "Felipe," a 21-year-old man, I performed oral sex on him during that activity while he was blindfolded. At the time, Felipe was just an acquaintance-we didn't become good friends until much later. Felipe's big brother at the frat, "Ron," is the only person besides me who knows that I performed oral on Felipe."
"Felipe, who is straight, knew that a man was blowing him, but not the identity of the man. Ron doesn't like me hanging out with Felipe and threatened me that he would tell Felipe that it was me if I don't stop hanging around Felipe this coming semester. I really like Felipe-as a friend-and I can't stand the thought of losing his friendship. But I also can't stand the thought of Felipe finding out that I was the one who performed oral on him."
"Rich Juzwiak: I like the idea that this frat drama is so gay. It's not even just the gay sex; it's the ownership and the "I don't want you talking to him" dynamic. Though I also do question the veracity of this letter for sure (and anecdotally, some former frat guys online refute that this sort of thing really happens)."
A 21-year-old man performed oral sex on a blindfolded acquaintance, Felipe, during a frat hazing; Felipe did not know the performer's identity. Ron, Felipe's fraternity big brother, is the only other person who knows the performer's identity and threatens to reveal it if the performer continues seeing Felipe. The performer values Felipe's friendship and fears both losing that friendship and the consequences of Felipe discovering the performer's role in the hazing. Observers describe the situation as exemplifying possessive, gendered dynamics and liken the scenario to sensational, plot-driven sexual melodrama. Some doubt the story's veracity and liken it to pornographic plotlines.
