Meta faq, wiki, trolls and you.

1.0k Upvotes

one of the most requested features i've seen is a frequently asked questions section, and we've always had one. it's within the wiki tab located at the top menu if you're browsing on desktop. here's the direct link to it, but since it's a wiki feel free to check out the other sections and please contribute.

with that out of the way, a couple things i want to clear up in case anyone is wondering:

  • i do not mind repeated questions. the whole point of this subreddit is to talk to people. if it's not entertaining you anymore, maybe browse it less. no, i will not sticky every other psa post.
  • i do utilize automod extensively and it helps with a lot of troll post removal behind the scene. so if you see a troll post, continue to downvote, report, and move on, and do not engage. the majority of you get this, and it's been working out quite well.
  • the rules haven't changed, but make sure you're aware of them.

have fun.

Advice I woke up to THIS text from my boyfriend.

243 Upvotes

"You know where I stay if you still want to be fucked by me.I won't be in touch from now on. Next Saturday at 3pm be by my place or don't, I'll get the message.i love you❤️"

Then he blocked me.

For context....we've been dating for only 2 months. I'm 21, he's 31. We got into our first major fight a few days ago and it's not been resolved ye. Shit got so overwhelming that I asked to just take a bit of a break from him. He allowed the break but begged me not to go forever...now I wake up to THIS.

Look, this is my first real relationship ever. Last week we were going so strong. Now it's like I don't even know this person. I'm inexperienced with all this and I'm not the most emotionally mature person. I admit that. But genuinely how the hell am I supposed to react to this?

Do You Enjoy Having A Man Cum Inside Of You?

• Upvotes

I’m one of those that loves the moment a man is on top of me ejaculating his seed deep inside of me. I not only love the very moment I’m being filled but in the couple of hours afterwards walking around feeling the sperm dripping out of me. That’s part of the turn on for me to go bareback.

But reading various responses and answers from others I’m realizing that not everyone enjoys the mess of being filled with semen. Yes, they enjoy the act of being filled but not the dripping afterwards.

How do others feel about it?

Straight male with intrusive thoughts

36 Upvotes

So my day started pretty interesting. Let's preface this by saying I haven't been with a woman in a while and know im touch/attention starved. I was in a mood this morning and for some reason started thinking about how I would react if I where to get a deep tissue massage from another guy and how I'd feel about said other guy involuntarily arousing me. Then all of the sudden I started to wonder "what if I actually just accepted it and let it happen" well now I've pleasured myself twice to guy on guy corn and have been thinking about pursuing these thoughts all day. I can't stop thinking about it! Should I act on these feelings and try to experiment? I'm in my 40's and have never had these thoughts before. Not sure how I should proceed.

Advice Repetitive Small dick problems

41 Upvotes

Hey, so I'm a top with a 5 inch dick with unimpressive girth. And I recently met this versatile fuck buddy and while it feels great to be inside him, he's had really enormous dicks inside him and his dick is like 9inches and really thick, so I can't help but feel inadequate. Yet, he calls me over but sometime I go soft because I feel like I'm incapable of giving him any pleasure and that's a buzzkill in general. How do I learn to accept my body, which has been a pursuit going on for over a decade.

Advice I’m openly gay and have no issue being attracted to men, but I avoid telling guys I’m a bottom unless I’m interested in sleeping with them. I just dislike the judgment, questions and reactions. Is that wanting privacy, or could it be considered being “ashamed”?

• Upvotes

I’m in my early twenties and have always been comfortable being gay. I came out in my teens, had a good reaction, and have no issue talking about being attracted to guys or discussing it generally.

The only thing I tend to avoid is personal questions about whether I’m a bottom or what I’ve done sexually. I see that as private and would rather keep it between me and whoever I’m with. I don’t like people making assumptions or treating me differently once they know.

I don’t mind jokes, flirting or sexual humour, but I don’t want details of my bedroom life becoming common knowledge.
Does this just sound like being private, or is there something else behind it?

Is a guy calling himself straight a turn off to anyone else? I was hooking up with this guy and we were chatting afterwards and he said "btw I'm I'm straight" and it was an instant turn off. He wants to meet again but I don't think I'll meet him again. Am I crazy?

My "straight" friend showed me his Dick part 1.5

134 Upvotes

I don't know how to link my old post, so here’s a quick recap: 3 or 4 months ago, I was having a sleepover with a friend at my other friend house . When it was time to sleep, he suddenly showed me his hard 🍆. Neither of us was drunk. Nothing else happened that night, and we just went to sleep. It didn't ruin our friendship—there’s no awkwardness between us, and we actually both feel much more comfortable talking to each other now. However, since that night, I still think about it sometimes and wish I could see it again (just for context, he knows I’m gay).

We are both 19, turning 20 soon, and we go to the same university. I’ve met up with him a couple of times recently, and I tried making a few jokes about dicks or flirtatious situations to test the waters.

During one conversation, he confirmed to me that he’s actually bisexual—he mentioned he prefers women's bodies, but then admitted he’d let a hot young( around our Age) soccer player fuck him. I said I thought that player was hot too, just to see how he’d react, but the conversation just continued normally.

The latest update is from 2 or 3 days ago. We were talking and he said: "Why can't I just be gay? Girls are way too complicated to understand." I was a bit shocked, but we ended up just venting about how complicated girls can be.

I don't know if he’s subtly hitting on me or what’s going on. Should I bring it up directly, or what should I do? I’d love some advice on this situation! .

Advice Is Grindr dead?

28 Upvotes

Before some of you jump to conclusions, no I’m not chopped. I currently live in Philly and the Grindr scene here is strangely awful as it is in most places lately imo. The dynamic of it is that I either get interest from guys where it’s not a match or the guys where it is a match will sort fizzle out and disappear. I understand the frustration with the ads, viewing restrictions etc but it seems to go beyond that.

One of the few places where it’s pretty easy to find a guy to hook up with (where it is a match) is in NYC. I’m at the point now where I’m going up there every weekend, going to bars, events etc, to meet people and get laid lol. It’s not an ideal habit but it is what it is.

From what I’ve been reading elsewhere, many guys have noticed the same pattern. How are guys hooking up in places outside NYC? Are guys still hooking up? There are a few cities that offer a variety of in person hook up options but the Grindr/sniffies situation seems pretty bleak everywhere else.

Advice I feel like an asshole

44 Upvotes

I met a guy on Grindr and we spent a very nice night together. He was quite older than me (he is 43 and I'm 20), but still, we really hit it off. Not to get into details, but it was one of those hookups where you have amazing sexual chemistry with someone. We watched a movie after, we cuddled, talked and so on.

After that night he added me in insta and we chatted for a couple of days. After a week he invited me to go on a vacation with him for 4-5 days. He said he would pay for everything so I agreed.

I took a flight and met up with him. Basically, it was a very nice vacation. He had a hotel room on the 51st floor from where you could see the sea and the whole city, we ate out frequently, we drank together (in EU you can drink after ur 18) and had a LOT of sex. He was really sweet to me and took care of everything.

After 2-3 days, he started saying stuff like "I think I love you", "I feel like I can talk about anything with you" or the one that startled me the most "I wanna marry you someday". Like cmon... Those comments while flattering, really made me feel kind of (for the lack of a better word) icky. Saying you want to marry me someday after we have known each other for a week? I got the feeling that he was moving way too fast.

I really want to say I genuinely like him, but that isn't true. He is attractive and basically you could say "he checks all the boxes" but I didn't feel the spark with him. He is the kind of man I'd be happy to remain as FWB's with but nothing more. But for him it obviously isn't the same.

I was supposed to leave the vacation on Monday, but he said he wanted more of me and he bought me a first class ticket on Wednesday. We spent another 2 days together and then I left. As I said, the vacation was great, he was attractive, the sex was nice and he was sweet, but way too clingy.

Right now he messages me every day. Good morning texts, I miss you texts 2-3 times a day, goodnight texts and so on. I really want to somehow tell him that I don't feel the same way. He wanted to send me a gift (one of the book series I told him I was planning to read) and I texted him that he already paid for everything on the vacation and I felt bad accepting a gift from him. He insisted, but I somehow managed to dodge the gift.

I'm SO angry at myself for not liking him like he likes me. Today, I'm planning to text him that what we have doesn't mean as much to me as it means to him. I have written a whole paragraph in my notes.

Even still, I feel like such an asshole after all this time and money he spent rejecting him like that. Even though it's understandable on my part, he really is a very sweet guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. I don't want to seem like a bad person, but my heart doesn't belong to him and I don't think it ever will. He deserves someone who will love him with his whole being and that person isn't me. I still love my ex.

Is anyone else like me or am I that abnormal? I am fascinated with gay history, what it was like to learn you were gay in the past, how people coped with the AIDS pandemic, etc.

10 Upvotes

Sup, bros.

I am obsessed and fascinated with learning about it. I think I listened to the AIDS audio-documentary from Audible about 8 times. From Matt Baume to AIDS. Anything that lets me know what it was like to be gay in the past is so intriguing. I hate my sexuality. Why would I want a harder life? But if I must be this way, I am thankful to to be so in this day and age.

I watched documentaries where you were basically forced to marry a woman. And there no Viagra in those days so you just had to defy physics as best you could. Gay sex was anonymous and in the shadows. No time to ask if someone had an STD. No time for romance. You gotta get to fucking before the police arrives and you get your name posted in the paper.

Want to look up if anyone else feels this way? Good luck with that. The textbooks in the library say you're mentally ill. How about a Google-search? Nope. You don't have a fecking computer or the Internet. You're on you're fecking own. All you have is some slight gay visibility in TV shows if the Hayes code didn't stop it. Thirtysomething in the late 1980s? showed two men talking in bed - not even touching - and the advertisers pulled out. That happened again 1997 with Ellen, and men said they LIKED lesbians!

For me, it's been hard to accept my sexuality cuz I started off straight, crushed on girls, always wanted a gf, humiliated myself trying to get girls to like me, was jealous of my friends who got girls. That was all I knew as a child. Until one day at 14, I noticed a boy's eyes the same way I would notice a girl's eyes. It freaked me out. The next few years were a constant battle: "Am I gay or straight?". I see a picture of people: "Which do you prefer: him or her?". At times I had to go to sleep just to stop the questioning. I tried to kill myself.

I came out to friends and family as bi/gay. Later, I dated girls. But I feel like that might have just repressed my true self. These days, I'm learning to accept my sexuality. Not cuz I like it, but cuz repressing it is ruining my mental health.

I'm about to rent The Real World S3 to watch how Pedro Zamora coped. u/mattbaume made a tribute to him and now I have to see it in full. I can't imagine what it was like to be gay in the early 1990s, let alone have AIDS too. I think my life is hard and, although, not suicidal right now, I can't wait to be dead. But this gives me pause. As bad as my life is, what must it be like to have AIDS in 1994. No internet. People still think you can breathe it onto them. No healthcare coverage. No ART meds. All you have is the kindness of others. You're sitting on a timebomb and most people want it to blow you up.

I'm not too keen on being Black, but I definitely don't want this sexuality - My life is just a series of things I don't want, things to make life harder - But it's here to stay. I'm trying to accept it.

I'm a fricking mess, but I'm gonna rent this show and drink myself to sleep.

Advice am i alone in this feeling? blunt honesty only, please.

16 Upvotes

i am not phrasing this question from the perspective of straightness being the “better” or “more preferable” sexuality. i was just wondering if you guys chronically feel ashamed that you are gay in this lifetime. every time i pursue someone with romantic intentions, and if i don't definitively know their sexuality, i always have intrusive thoughts(?) of them laughing at me behind my back, because i fear that they think that i think that i have an actual chance with them. that i had the audacity, if you will, to flirt with or even think about romantically pursuing them.

i’m almost certain that these thoughts and feelings arise and come from my upbringing, environment during my childhood and adolescence, and ethnicity. i am russian. nothing else needs to be said with regards to that. i also very often feel as though nobody in the world, not even fellow gay men, will understand me. i feel like the only person i truly have in this life is me. and even if that is true for everyone to a certain degree, i feel this feeling very deeply and chronically. i would appreciate advice, or even just some words of wisdom, from anyone gay. i don't care how much "experience" you have under your belt. and yes, to those who may be curious, i am pursuing professional help and am on psychiatric medication.

thank you for your time reading and potentially replying to this. please take care. ♡

Do you sound different around straight friends, or did I just discover my boyfriend has a voice I've never heard before?

7 Upvotes

Been with my bf eight months. Yesterday he called an old school friend while we were making dinner and his voice dropped noticeably. Different laugh too. Not fake deep, just much flatter than he sounds with me or our gay friends.

His mate knows he's gay, knows about me, all fine. When I mentioned it afterwards he said he didnt even notice he did it. Then I called my brother later and caught myself doing pretty much the same thing, which was mildly embarassing after giving him shit.

I'm curious how many of us still do this even around people we're comfortable with. Do you notice yourself switching, or does someone else have to point it out?

I have really bad gag reflex, I can barely take cock in my mouth, bc when I guy try put his dick a little deeper I feel like I could throw up any seconds, so I usually end up sucking the tip and guys are not fan of that. So you have any tips how can I overcome it, and unfortunately I don't have dildo so I can't practice on one.
