Realistic BL

Accurately portrays the prejudice against gay people, including their immediate family and close friends.

MC has always liked his best friend, however said best friend has always been in love with their other (female) friend. One day, drunk MC decides to confess, but ends up stumbling upon his crush’s twin brother and confesses to him instead!

Besides portraying the lives of gay men in New York, it also gives the reader a look into what the porn industry is like and the consequences of working in it. It’s got a bit of “turned straight guy gay” vibe with the MC but his crush on the other character was developed slowly enough that it wasn’t jarring.

MC needs to pay back the debt left to his by his grandfather, so in order to gain money fast, he decides to shoot a gay AV. However, he finds himself weirdly attracted to the producer.

No self lubricating/magically clean assholes to be found here! A bit of a "straight guy turned gay" vibe with the MC, though I'm willing to overlook that.

MC stumbles upon a barbershop, and finds a barber with a super soft touch.... he can't stop thinking about it, and it seems the barber in question is just as infatuated.
