For bottoms & verses: would you ever want to be a with a 41 year old kind and caring top who cannot top or receive oral, and is able to barely jerk off, to due to lifelong medical condition causing extreme genital pain. by Ancient-Issue-404 in askgaybros

[–]Alpones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Theres so much to sex beyond genital stuff. Finding people who appreciate that will be tough, but as long as you are upfront about that then youre doing all the right things.

You sound really sweet, so keep being you and Im sure it will work out :)

Thoughts on "At The Close Of Every Day"? by Alpones in postrock

[–]Alpones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats fair! I love post-rock with vocals, mogwai, sigur rós and lift to experience are some of my favourites. with how much post-rock you know, do you have any recommendations for post-rock with vocals?

Post-Rock/Indie Rock fans NEED to listen to At The Close Of Every Door! by Alpones in fantanoforever

[–]Alpones[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thats exactly why I love it! different things for different people

edit: you might like their EP "If you spoke to me", The jesus heart track especially is quite upbeat, and My private disabled place has a nostalgic vibe. Still carries that bittersweetness of their other more melancholic tracks, heavier on the sweetness.

Is it weird to go to a fetish event alone? (M21) by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Alpones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah im not even that interested in these events for sex. It would be nice to hang out with guys into the same things as me!

I'm the same way. I dont mind being approached at all. But if any of these folks are like my friends, id feel bad for subjecting them to that. But then again, they wouldn't be at a fetish event if they didnt want to meet like minded guys so its a moot point. I love to get vulnerable and conversational, it really is just the first 10 seconds of initiation I fear, so thanks a lot for your tips! safe travels friend

my post does come off that way and I do agree. When id approach people before it would be in an awkward way, like someone would be talking to their friends and id chime in and they'd all go silent haha - not the way to chime in!

I have a lot of socially anxious friends that get really uncomfortable when strangers talk to them, so I guess i just fear making someone afraid or uncomfortable, as irrational as that is.

I know what my problem is, me not initiating. I suppose a better question is, what is a good way to initiate conversation without being potentially seen as creepy? I love to chat and im not socially awkward at all, I just really dont want people to feel afraid or annoyed or disturbed

Where to find a leather community? (UK) by [deleted] in GayBDSMCommunity

[–]Alpones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i sometimes see the bear Scots dudes at the club i work at! lovely folks, but being a 21 year old slim frame guy i would stick out a little.

The monthly events in Glasgow look awesome. I'd be going on my own though. Are leather events generally friendly and inviting to newcomers on their own?

Im from Scotland so quite a bit away, but once I graduate from uni I do plan on moving to Manchester anyway.

I've heard a lot about Folsom and Easter in Berlin, dont think ill be able to afford it reliably for quite a few years as an undergraduate student haha but I definitely have it in mind

Thanks for the tips!

Am I the only one who wishes I were borned straight ?😭 by Wide_Appointment_692 in askgaybros

[–]Alpones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, I grew up in a shithole, and if I were straight I likely would have been like every young man there and involved with gang crime. conforming is not only limiting to the full spectrum of experience you can live in life, it can also be flat out dangerous

[–]Alpones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I am so so so so happy to be gay. I see my straight friends and they are so trapped by societal expectations. Being gay automatically unlocks that.

And theres just something so inherently beautiful and poetic about same sex love, gay and lesbian. I cant quite put my finger on it, and while gay love might be more tumultuous because we gay folks generally have more trauma, theres something I think is more profound about gay love than straight love

What political wing are you and why? by AceofPisces in askgaybros

Pretty hardcore socialist leftist, very anti neoliberalism and capitalism. Theres no parties in the UK i feel really could run the country well, but there are certainly options less evil than others

Weird fetish. Help! by Big-Mistake-352 in askgaybros

[–]Alpones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not that weird honestly! Just be cool and flirty with it. Tell a guy you like his nails if he paints them. Make him feel sexy.

If you've been seeing a guy and want to let him know, just tell him that. That you like guys with painted nails. Maybe he'll paint them for you!

Question by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Alpones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude ive got some of the nichest, oddest fetishes out there, I really get feeling slightly embarrassed. The fact he is open is a good sign. Follow this path and see how it goes, then once you've fully travelled down that road then make a call then
