See. Ben is the type of guy that would wind up frustrating Arcade to no end by these answers. And this answers every last question about why the man is friends with Alex. "Just give it up," he complains to Neil. "You're going to have to name drop to get some of them to talk to you so just get comfortable with the fact that you're with Alex. He's not the worst you could have in a lover, and it's not that embarrassing to be with him."

The other man gets down to things, and when he questions Neil, Arcade again pipes up. "Less pleasing the boyfriend and more mutual pleasing." He's not brave enough to share details about Alex's... talents with a stranger.
