Guys Who Won’t Let Go of Their Boysfriends!!!
I was at Pops for Champagne to see Amy & Freddy’s show on Black Wednesday and having a great time. I was surrounded by friends and a great bottle of Champagne with incredible Martinis to follow. I noticed an older couple walk in, with who appeared to be their son and his boyfriend. The son sat down by the bar next to his parents and his boyfriend did as well. From the moment they walked in it was apparent that his boyfriend was a “latch-guy.” What do I mean by latch-guy? I mean a guy that latches onto you and will never let you away from his side. His boyfriend had his hand on him when he was walking in, taking off his coat, ordering drinks, and his hand firmly on his thigh throughout the performance. I noticed even when the son would get up for something, perhaps to adjust his seat, the boyfriend only grabbed harder. Several of my friends noticed this and found it rather amusing.
After seeing this I was half tempted to send a drink over to the guy, how funny would that have been! But I contained myself and did not partake in such an amusing (and controversial) act. However, it got me thinking “what if your boyfriend is a latch-guy?” For instance, with this couple, what happens when they go to club? When one needs to use the washroom? God forbid what happens when one starts a conversation with another guy? What are your thoughts? Has anyone been in this situation? I guess this can sometimes be typical for a brand new relationship, but what about those who have been dating for a while?
My personal opinion is that it is very unhealthy, smells of insecurity and instability, and doesn’t allow either to live their lives.
I dont see anything wrong with being a “latch guy”. I have been in a long-term relationship (in boystown standards) and my boyfriend refuses to let me be a “latch-guy”.
I would love to be a “latch-guy”, especially when walking down the street and not in a rush. I think gays holding hands just pushes the gay movement forward and gays should feel free to do the same as straight couples.
Thanks for reading and for the response! What I mean by “latch-guy” is not a guy that holds your hand or has his arm around you. I mean someone who will NEVER stop doing it. That 100% of the time they are with you that is all they do; hang onto you afraid to let you go and talk to others, look at others, etc. That is what I mean by latch-guy.
That is nothing more stuff you will find more amuseing in time;-) Some guys just never leave your side. Don’t get caught up in that mess it will bring on a distress.
Hell, if I had a boyfriend I probably would’nt let him out of the house. Just kidding! (Am I?!)
