A game of gay chicken

There's an interesting game being played by young straight men these days. It's called gay chicken and the rules are pretty simple: one player moves in for a sensual kiss until the other player backs off or pulls away. The winner is the first to break from the kiss. And yes, tongues are permitted.

Is the game as innocent as it looks? Some would argue it promotes homophobia by emphasizing how distasteful man on man action can be. We're not so sure about that...

For others it's just some good clean fun and a safe way to explore sexuality. Hell, what we wouldn't have done to play this with our straight friends growing up.

See how long some of these university guys last playing chicken after the jump...
