True. The real reason for it was obvious. You were not bfs/guys in a LTR/ or lovers. Most dudes were just going through a period of situational homosexuality. The sex drive was there, alive and well, and the girls were not readily available. The guys, on the other hand, were all sharing the same problem, and looked amongst themselves for quick and easy solutions.The catchphrase in those days used to be, "dude, you've got to help me out".
In the beginning, mostly the top dudes were using it. Soon enough the bttm guys picked up the parlance, too.
Sure, people must have wondered. I am also sure that a few had an idea of what was really going on. But everyone agreed that this was all a private matter, and no one's business.
