My girlfriend called me brother while having s$x
The narrator, a 28-year-old male, and his 29-year-old girlfriend were engaged in s*xual activity. As they approached climax, the narrator reached for his girlfriend's hand.
She unexpectedly grasped his hand and pulled it toward her in a movement resembling a friendly handshake, saying, "h**l yeah brother." This action immediately stopped the narrator's arousal, causing his erection to subside, leaving him feeling as though he had just shared a casual, platonic gesture with a friend. The narrator is now seeking an outlet to discuss this confusing and deflating experience.
