Even though Justin hits like a girl...
Warning: This is an actual serious post. I thought about stuff. It's rather shocking of me.
(Loosely based on a couple of comments I made in my previous post.)
I wrote all this, and didn't even know what I was trying to prove until the very end... but I try to explain "Why does Justin instigate an aggressive game with Brian, and then later let Cody jerk him off?" and "Is it cheating?"
I think (and these are just random thoughts and theories which may be contradicted by later canon, or not even fully addressed at all)...
Right now, Justin's into the violence and power of everything, and also the thrill of danger. He can get it from Cody and not from Brian, which even further separates his reactions to those two parts of his life. Posse business, like beating people up and having Cody beat him off - that's not about Brian. Brian is different.
Thus, this is how Justin can keep making out with Cody boy and not consider it cheating, and I don't see a reason, in Justin's mind, why he should.
The gunjob? That's not about Brian either. That's also Posse business. There's this bond that he has with Cody, where maybe he doesn't entirely like him, but he believes in him. In what Cody stands for. And he doesn't kiss Cody then, because there's no bait involved, and to couple kissing with an act of sex would be cheating on Brian, because there would be an emotional component, and not just visceral.
Also, Justin if needs this kind of interaction at all, he needs it from Cody, because - when Justin tries to bring that same intensity and violence to his interaction with Brian, it doesn't work for him.
The chairsex? That was pretty fantastic, and Brian was pretty into it. Ahem. But that was Justin just starting out with the Posse, just discovering what he could be capable of. He's getting further and further into this new world of his, and maybe he's finding that he needs more questionable stimulation as it goes on. And meanwhile, Brian has his limits to how far he's willing to go with Justin in his current frame of mind.
And we see that from the roughness of tonight's episode, with the "geezer" baiting and the naked wrestling. I don't think that's what Justin wanted. Justin can't get that same rush from Brian that he gets from Cody.
Sure, as susanderavish pointed out, Brian's got nothing against rough sex or kinky stuff, when it's all for fun, but when his partner (hee!) starts ranting about evil straight people and getting way too intense about the power play... that's when Brian gets wary.
There's no way in hell he would ever hurt Justin, basically.
And to the best of his ability, he would try not to let Justin hurt himself, in any way.
So if it's the danger and violence that's the turn-on for Justin, and he tries to get Brian to really let loose (thus the baiting and the slapping) - and still Brian doesn't indulge him...
I think Justin is perfectly aware that Brian would never actually be a danger to him, but he's not even thinking in those terms. He's pushing for something nameless, and he's not sure how to get it. The Posse stuff is getting into his head, and basically controlling his dick, too.
I personally don't think there's anything wrong with violence when it's someone you trust. But Justin trusts Brian, loves Brian, and that's the whole reason.
Does Justin trust Cody? I don't think Justin wants trust right now. He wants to be feared, he wants action, he wants the thrill, he wants... a cold handgun rubbing against his crotch, in a dark alley, with a guy who he only knows by powerful words and acts of aggression.
And that's why.
This being said, I also believe that after that last shot of Justin flipping Brian, they had mad, passionate, slightly more sedate sex, because Justin loves Brian, Brian loves Justin, and they can't ever have bad sex... also, the next time we see Justin he's so not with the angst. He's all, "my boyfriend", and "look at me I'm so well-fucked and/or he's so well-fucked."
But again, that makes Brian separate, not dragged down in the grit of the Posse, and not part of whatever equation led to the Justin/Cody alley encounter.
I thought too much about this.
