Gojyo, while we know from canon is an enthusiastic ladies' man, my fanon is that he's had at least a few same-sex experiences -- hustling for survival in his younger days, and quite possibly something with Banri.
Yeah, I have thought from day 1 that Gojyo probably turned tricks as a kid. I mean, realistically what else is a 12-year-old going to do to survive? (I wonder if this is why Minekura hasn't gone too much into Gojyo's past... that maybe a a Bit Much, and hey, we can all read between the lines pretty well).
As for Banri, it was really driven home to me in the Burial OVA that Banri was at least bisexual. I hadn't realized from reading the manga what it was he was doing when he was sort of looking at Hakkai side-long with his hand raise. But in the OVA, he's actually shown running the back of his hand along Hakkai's face in a sort of caress (well, we all know how well that went ;P ). Also, flemmings had some sort of write up about that (which I can't find now, of course) where she said that the whole subtext of all that is that Banri is commenting that Gojyo has changed where he does his business, e.g. from Banri to Hakkai. So, word.
I hope they run across Banri again. He is such an unrepentant bastard, what's not to love. :D
Hakkai is the kink-meister, eh? I have always thought so. ;D I am not sure he and Gojyo would get into S&M though, I think that might be hugely issue-laden for Gojyo. D/s, sure, there is already elements of that in their relationship. Bondage, maybe, heck, some of that isn't even all that kinky really.
I totally agree with your comments about uke-Hakkai being so only because it would be what he wants. And yeah, totally topping from the bottom (funny how I see both of them doing that, hahaha)
