Bromance

The complicated term given to the close and at times affectionate relationship between 2 or more straight, heterosexual lads.

Used mostly amongst those aged late teens to those in their mid to late 30’s.

A Bromantic relationship often forms when straight lads are forced out of necessity to be at close quarters with one and other. For example living in army barracks, boarding at school, football and rugby teams.

Bromances can be displayed in all manner of ways. Most prominently there will be openly questionable moments such as declaring one’s love for another, kissing when drunk, hugging, spooning when hungover.

Lads in a Bromance will sign off messages with an X or more.

Lads in bromances will be comfortable seeing each other and being round each other naked.

Lads who are in a Bromance are so comfortable with their sexuality they will often have girlfriends or share sexual female partners. They have no problems touching or holding each others junk or bodies when naked. It’s no issue to them as they are not gay.

A Bromance can be secretly sexual usually made up of mutual oral sex and masturbation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: being in a Bromance is in no way gay. Only straight guys can have bromances.

Bromance

Bromance is a thing for bestfriends. It basically where you guys act like you're dating regardless the gender. Like saying "I love you" or calling them "love". Bromance and platonic love are different. Platonic love is only where you mean it in a friend way. But in bromance, you mean it both romantically and platonically.
hey my love??? Did you eat now?? I love you, bromantically💗

bromance with benefits

Mocking slang, meant to undermine a deep and close emotional bond between two dudes who are involved in a bromance and to imply that there is something-something physical involved as well.
I can see that Jack and Bill are just as tight as anything, hanging out together all the time, telling each other "I love you" and nudging each other just so, like it's for kicks or something. But don't you think, sooner or later, those two will slide into that "bromance with benefits" territory and want to touch each other's private parts? It's only a matter of time. And that time's ticking.
