Get the 18 Second Rule mug.The 'Golden Rule' = it's not gay if it's in a 3-way.
This rule dates back to Ancient Greece. Legendary cynic, Tortuga, has argued it could possibly be gay if the 3-way consists of three males (zero females). According to early prophets, the gender of the participants plays no role in the gayness of a 3-way. Therefore, any form of a 3-way is never gay. The Golden Rule is valued by many as the most important rule in human history.
