Camping. It’s a straight people thing, right? It’s dirty, has no amenities, no bars…. but then again, it’s always been kinda homoerotic. And more and more queer people are doing it. And there are gay campgrounds. So maybe it’s gayer than we think?

From the Pride48 live-streaming weekend, Mike and Kyle get into pegging! While its modern incarnation was from Dan Savage’s Savage Love column, it has historical roots that go way back before that.
