What happens when masculinity starts to dress differently? From painted nails to red carpet looks, more and more straight men are embracing styles once seen as queer, but what does it really mean?

Here’s why I think the answer is no.

Casual sex: an opportunity for silent communication. A sadistic and sweet game that plays with the tangible distance of the other self. External perception, desire, discreet seduction.  All in a pink little box I tenderly whisper to. Let’s reveal why we want the ethereal to be a daily chore.
