After reading some experiences from people in same-sex relationships, Ezra realized that he had not been active enough during their intimate moments.
Because, for god's sake, the things he read on the internet made him gape in shock... Ezra probably wouldn't go to the extremes of some of the stories he read, he wanted to take this step by step.
In fact, he had just found out that some people had strange fetishes, which could be considered very questionable. It led him to mutter to himself about the astonishing absurdity of human nature—lust knew no bounds.
As he closed his laptop, Ezra's gaze wandered aimlessly across the room's walls. Reading about others' experiences left him wondering, Did Raphael have specific preferences too?
Despite being friends with the man for years and even knowing him since childhood, Ezra had never noticed any signs of Raphael's sexual preferences.
