A common trope in slash fanfic is for one teenage boy to suggest to another that they need to "practice" kissing with each other, ostensibly to prepare for kissing future girlfriends. (Hint: they don't usually get around to the girlfriend part.)
This trope is not exclusive to fanfic and occurs in film and television. See TV Tropes.
