The Comfy Chair

As far as the experience being enough to generate a bond--yes, there would be 'we're in the same boat' closeness, maybe somewhat mitigated by the fact that this very freaky thing that is making one uncomfortable is also writ large all over the other, a sort of constant reminder of the embarrassment and discomfort--knowing someone else knows how you feel isn't always a comfort if you don't like how you're feeling and don't enjoy being reminded of it. If this was being written as a 'straight guys like sex and they'll pretty much do it with anyone, under any circumstances,' sensual/sexual exploration type story, then that would be workable, though it would drop it more into the PWP realm, for me, which would take some from the depth I'm enjoying in it. I think what follows argues against that reading, at least for me. Maybe it's a case of my wanting to see it deviate from that particular trope, as it deviates from the WNG trope?
