Try It

At least not until Johnny makes an ignorant comment and asks Ken if he’d ever considered just not being gay. When Ken, angered by that, snaps back that maybe Johnny should try gay sex if he thinks that’s all there is to it, he never expects Johnny to take him up on it. Nor does he expect that his friend will love it and want to do it again. But once feelings start to grow, will Johnny be able to deal with the fact that he’s obviously not straight, or will he let the world pull them apart? Try It is a gay romance between a jock and an artist who turn from friends to lovers. It features explicit scenes.
