I quite liked this story of Adam and Josh, college roommates. Adam and Josh, both sexually inexperienced and naive, accidentally (and serendipitously) discover a shared interest in / titillation by M/M BDSM porn and agree to try it out with each other. As they explore, experiment, Adam develops feelings for Josh and it appears to be reciprocated.I like how as the boys have their sex play they also become friends, spending time together outside their room -- I do wish, though, that we'd been able to be part of those times, like when they (repeatedly) had lunch together. It would've been nice to learn what else, exactly, they have in common, and how they respond to one another.It really was a sweet story, tenderly written, about young people finding themselves, finding each other, and feeling safe and connected in the process. I always like stories about people respecting themselves and not settling -- I think that is such an important message, one which cannot be repeated oft enough.
