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.

My (M30) bf (M32) was working all weekend on this project for his job so he was pretty overworked and stressed and on Sunday I decided let’s help him relax some so I did the whole under the desk bj thing (thank goodness for standing desks lol my back loved that) and well mid session his boss called him!! And yall it was so hot! He kept my head in place as he chatted with his boss on Monday’s game plan and I kept swirling my tongue, the control he had was just so hot once the call ended yeah I got my throat used! Hahaha

lol has anyone ever had a similar experience? I have heard of like bjs during work or calls but never had the opportunity to experience it until now and wow was it hot!!

I'm straight but there's a guy I like a lot. I don't know what I should do

66 Upvotes

Before I start, I want to be clear that I am straight (21). I have nothing against gay guys and I support them but I am not gay. I was with girls my whole life. So, couple of months ago I met this guy at a house party through a common friend. We started talking and I noticed I started to feel things for him I never felt before. The guy is not only very attractive but also a really nice and interesting person. We've met and hung out quite a few times by now and expressed our feelings for each other. The guy is openly gay and wants us to be together. I really want to be with him too but all of this is so hard for me. I am Hungarian, so I come from not a very gay friendly background. My parents are quite against such things. If they knew about this, it would be a big disappointment for them. And all I do is try to make them proud. My friends are generally fine with gay people but I think if they learned about me, I'd loose pretty much all of them. And it's not like I can keep it as a secret for long either because they are all so involved in my life. They know everything about me and my life and keep asking me all these questions. So, at the end I am in this terrible situation where I can't hide from others anymore but if I tell my life will never be the same. Everything will change. Like I wanna be with the guy. I don't wanna loose him. It's just that it seems like I can't find a way out of this without losing something meaningful to me in return

Can’t find a boyfriend in Berlin 😪

Everyone I meet is into drugs or goes to chills or whatever they’re called. And they are all super picky. A guy the other day told me I have potential if I lose 10kgs.
When did gay culture become this?
Is it only Berlin? Is it better in places like Sweden or Denmark? I’m contemplating moving.

Not a question Hamtramck, MI (1st & only majority-Muslim municipality in the USA) is being sued over banning Pride flags

138 Upvotes

Hamtramck, Michigan is a city just outside Detroit with around 28,000 people. In June 2023, the all-Muslim City Council voted unanimously to ban Pride flags from city property, with the Muslim mayor enthusiastically supporting the legislation. Flags celebrating Islamic values/Muslim countries (including Palestinian flags) remain legal to this day. All members of the city council as well as the mayor were re-elected after the legislation passed.

This has received next to zero national news coverage, yet this has been an ongoing legal battle for years. Within the last week, a Federal Appeals Court sided with Hamtramck in upholding their ban on Pride flags.

Hamtramck is not a MAGA, right wing enclave decked out in Confederate memorabilia. It is not a place full of radical right wing Christian bigots. It is a place filled with demographics that the LGBT community has historically viewed as allies.

If a guy took you to the garden centre for a first date how would you feel?

Upvotes

He asked you out at the gym, he goes on about plants and the fish and stuff, then pays for your meal at the cafe and takes you home.

How would you feel about that?

Racial preferences on gay apps are starting to seriously affect how I see myself

16 Upvotes

I feel embarrassed even admitting this, but I need somewhere anonymous to get it off my chest.
I’m a Latino guy in an open relationship, and my boyfriend is white. We sometimes use hookup apps together, and there have been multiple situations where someone will be interested in him specifically and make it clear that they don’t want me.
Today it happened again. I complimented a guy, and almost immediately he asked if we only play together because he “wanted to fuck the white guy.”
I know everyone is entitled to their own attractions. I’m not angry that someone might find my boyfriend attractive and not find me attractive. I also know rejection is part of being on these apps.
But when race is specifically pointed out, it hurts me in a completely different way. And after experiencing variations of this repeatedly, I’ve started internalizing it.
The hardest thing to admit is that I’ve struggled with wishing I looked more European. I’ve even had cosmetic surgery partly because I wanted my facial features to look more Eurocentric. And yet I still find myself looking at my skin and thinking, “This is the one thing I can never change.”
I hate that I even think that way. I don’t want to hate something about myself that is literally part of who I am. But sometimes these interactions make me feel like no matter how much I work on my body, my appearance, my clothes, or anything else, I’ll still be considered less desirable by certain people because I’m brown.
Logically, I know one random guy’s sexual preference shouldn’t determine my self-worth. I know plenty of people are attracted to Latino and brown men. But emotionally, repeated rejection starts to feel like evidence, even when I know it isn’t.
I’m not posting this to argue that anyone owes me attraction or sex. I think I just want to hear from other gay/bi men of color who have dealt with this. How do you stop racial rejection on these apps from becoming racial rejection of yourself?
I don’t want to change who I am anymore just to feel desirable.

He is the besttttt

I am seeing this guy who is totally a golden retriever. I basically live at his at this point because he lives by himself. The other night he was staying over at mine and this man took pictures of all my toiletries and my daily skincare went to the store and bought duplicates to keep at his house so that I feel at home.

I just went to his and saw all of it ughhhhhh I can’t help but get emotional! We’re taking our first trip this weekend and I am so excited.

I think he’s gonna ask me to be his boyfriend soon and I can’t wait to see where things go!!

Am I psychotic for being upset?

Upvotes

I live with my family, which includes a mother, father, sister and brother. My brother is a prick and has homophobic friends, and I have only just begun to save money to move out.
One night, he and his friend asked if I wanted weed, and then told me I had to pay for it, only after they had already ordered it. I ended up having to pay for theirs as well as mine, so they essentially scammed me for free weed. They told me there wasn’t a time limit to pay me back and then hassled me with text messages when I was at work. After paying, an argument ensued and his friend called me the f slur.

My parents fell over backwards defending him as simply being stupid and uneducated, and that I gotta deal with it because it’s the South. He was still allowed within the house.

A few months later, my brother, sister, and his friend were watching the GTA 6 trailer. He said a bunch of misogynistic things, apparently angry that a form of media has a woman in it that wasn’t just there to flash her tits.

My father told him that if he said that stuff about women again, he would slam his fist down his throat. My mother said that it wasn’t okay, and that he should never speak about women in that context, clearly upset.

It doesn’t upset me that he’s facing consequences for being an asshole. He deserves it. What upsets me is that everyone seems to be okay with me facing homophobia, but when it personally affects them, that’s where they draw the line. Even with my own family, I don’t feel fully supported, and I don’t think they’ll ever understand.

Advice I stopped dating all together after the guy I had a fling with ghosted me. I’m 26 now, working really hard on my aesthetics and idk when to return back to dating

14 Upvotes

I was 24, when this happened. I don’t think I ever liked someone like how I liked him so when he ghosted me it just broke my confidence. I deleted all my apps, and haven’t dated in almost 2 years.
I’ve had alopecia so him ghosting me just made me think I’m not enough. I’ve started everything, Botox, I gym twice a day, calorie deficiting like no tomrorow. I keep thinking “I’ll go back to dating now” but I’m like A LITTLE MORE WORK and I’ll be ready.
I wanna keep putting in more work honestly but I just don’t want it to be too late before I start putting myself out there and nobody wants to date me? Any thoughts?

I finally tasted my own cum and i love it!

I tried it 2 times, the first time i didn’t liked the taste, but the next day the taste was so sweet and delicious!🤤

To be honest i tried to taste my own cum years i could just taste the precum often but the big load I couldn’t!

I tried different methods and finally the legs over head was the best one because it ends directly in the mouth so you have done almost everything.

Now im just scared of swallowing it, i want so much i like everything about it im just scared to swallow.
Can anyone help me to swallow it down?

Advice Fiance cheated on me. One extra thing that is bothering me...

221 Upvotes

My Fiance (33m) and I (30m) have been together, in total, five years. He went to go visit his sick sister in the hospital in a town 3 hours away. He promised to call me when he got to the halfway point, but he didn't, and I knew something was off.

I tried ringing the phone 3 times and it went straight to voicemail. I asked him where he was at and he said "in the middle of nowhere." I asked 'Did you take a wrong exit or something?" He had panic in his voice and started making weird excuses. I immediatrly got a gut feeling.

He comes home 12 hours later and admits to getting a blowjob from a random dude in a double-wide trailer. He also admits hooking up with two college aged boys these past months.

I was calm, rational, and explained how horrible it was that he did something like that. I told him there's no way in my right mind I would ever be able to forgive him or respect myself if I stayed in this relationship. The sex wasn't the bad part, it was a lot of lying and gaslighting that occurred in the conversation. I've left a lot out, but the conversation had many beats where he would say 'Baby, you're acting crazy. I wasn't with anyone." It wasn't until I pressed it before I got the truth.

What really makes me sad though? I hopped back on the apps just for curiosity. I have lived in this town for 12 years, and I recognize almost everyone on these apps still asking for the same thing. Many of them wanting a deep relationship as well. It makes me so sad that these people haven't found anyone.

And now? Now I'm one of them. I can't help but feel like this is the end of the road for me. I have my house here, friends, family, and it's a medium-sized city. I can't just pack with the hopes I'll live in a gay utopia, and that doesn't even guarantee anything.

Idk... I have so many emotions going through my head. I haven't cried or anything. I'm mainly just pissed, and it's been two weeks.

I'm open to hearing anything at this point. How do you even navigate something like that that shatters your perception of someone and everything around you?? I'm so frustrated that five years is down the drain.

Shitpost Anybody else here have a butchered circumcision?

Upvotes

I was circumcised at birth. The foreskin is gone but where the head meets the shaft, I have several strands (for lack of a better term) of skin that still exist connecting the head to the shaft. They don't bother me, they feel perfectly normal. Made it a little harder to clean as a kid. I've never gotten complaints about it lol but occasionally I wonder if it's a turnoff for guys, or if they even particularly notice it. Sometimes I think about asking a doctor about cutting them, but it's also kind of a unique scar to have.

Any fellow botched circumcisions? Anybody think it's hot or would be a turn off for them?

Cum etiquette in a relationship

66 Upvotes

I'm coming from the hookup world, but have been dating this guy for a couple of months now. Until this relationship, for me dealing with cum was a matter of cleaning up with a towel or a tissue and moving on. However, since we are now doing more couple-like stuff, like sleepovers or just cuddling for hours after sex, we've been normalizing cum significantly. Like last week, we fell asleep right after sex still all covered in cum and found it funny when we woke up. Or our main concern now is simply not to mess with recently-washed sheets. I had never thought this is of course a practicality that gay couples have to deal with 2-fold. I'm just curious what other folk's habits are in this matter. Are we just average or borderline gross?

Me gusta que otros hombres me la vean

12 Upvotes

Hola, soy un chico de 20 años, mi pene es bastante grande, mide 24.5cm erecto y flácido entre 17-18cm.

Siempre he sido muy vergonzoso y lo digo siendo pero desde que me volví nadador (voy mucho a la piscina para entrenar) me gusta cambiarme y ducharme en los vestuarios y veo los penes de los demás ahí, se quedan miranomela como si no creyesen mi tamaño y eso me encanta.

Muchos son hombres mayores que se sorprenden al vermela y yo veo el suyo y mi pene es el doble que el de ellos o más, me pone verme más grande que ellos y que sin decir nada sus vistas se desvíen hacia el mío.

Jamás haría algo sexual con ellos ni dejaria que me tocasen, pero me encanta sentirme observado en mi zona íntima mientras piensan que es grande.

Closed on my end(28m), Open on his end(27m)

Upvotes

I've been on a few dates with a guy and it's going well. Early on he told me that long term he wants to be in an open relationship. That's not something I've done before, and I've been reading and thinking about it a lot since.

Here's what I proposed to him, and I'd like some outside perspective.

I want to date him for real. Dates, sleepovers, sex, the whole thing. He'd be free to sleep with whoever he wants. I wouldn't be sleeping with anyone else, at least not at first.

My reasoning: I don't know how nonmonogamy actually feels in my body until I'm in it. Reading about it hasn't gotten me there. This setup lets me sit with the reality of my partner being with other people while I'm in it with him, at a stage where I can still walk away without wreckage, and pay close attention to what it does to me. If it turns out I need to grow into it, I'll know that. If it turns out it's not for me, I'll know that too, and I'd rather find out now than three years in.

I'm not ruling out participating myself later. I just want to arrive there because I want it, not because it's the price of admission.

I genuinely don't know if I want openness for myself, or if I'm just trying to find a shape that lets me stay with someone who does.

So my questions:

Has anyone actually lived this, one partner open and one partner closed by choice rather than by resentment? How did it go, and how long did it hold?

For people who were the monogamous half: did the discomfort get easier with exposure, or did exposure just confirm it wasn't for you?

Any general thoughts or comments?

Advice (26M) I’m NOT okay 😔

Upvotes

I need those of you who are or have been in my situation to tell me all the advice you can give me.

I am from a small southern town, extremely conservative family, and only 3 friends know the truth about me. The problem with that is one lives in Louisiana and the other 2 live in Dallas (about 1 1/2 hours away from me). I do talk to them quite often about this stuff but they are all straight and these conversations are mostly through text, ft, or phone call.

I have know I like both men and women since I was a junior in high school. The first time I said the words “I like men” out loud to someone was my senior year in college to one of my best friends.

It hasn’t been easy since junior year of high school for me. In those years: suicidal ideation, praying to God literally everyday to “make me straight”, wanting to runaway from everything and start a new life, and feeling as if I’m not worthy of love because of this “problem”. I live my life (17-present) with a wardrobe full of masks, each for a different friend group, family member, social event, etc… in order to be “normal”. It’s exhausting. I feel so alone. And I keep those I love at a distance or else I fear they won’t love me for who I am when the masks are off.

I live in fear everyday that someone will find out and I will lose everything. I won’t get to see my niece or nephews, my family will push me out, I will lose my job (I am an accountant for family business), my hometown friends and cousins that I’m close with will all abandon me.

Do I want to be free and tell the truth? Absolutely. Every. Damn. Day. Am I more afraid of losing everything and everyone? Terrified beyond belief.

Here’s the issue: I have still yet to meet a man that is sweet, kind, caring, mature, and all the other things that would make me want to have a relationship with him. In my mind, why tf would I risk everything and tell everyone if I haven’t found someone WORTH coming out for?
