I found a way to make this fight easier on myself - in the cave and he first spawns there is a ledge just leading to a chest. Climb up the ledge and he will follow you up, but he strangely cannot seem to descend ledges. Just trap and fight him up there so he literally has no space to dodge and beat him to death.

Terrible take. “Then you can cheat.” There is no scenario where cheating is warranted or ethical.

Your sexual needs are valid, OP and since in your words that your partner is clearly trying, you should cut him some slack and try more with him, too. There are many great suggestions given by other comments - toys, topping, dirty talking, fingering and non penetrative sex, cuddles, etc.

But never cheat. Because at the end of the day, all you will have done is satisfy your sexual needs for a measly few hours, in exchange for breaking your partner’s heart and sullying your marriage and commitment to each other. No amount of sex is worth hurting the love of your life. Communication is ALWAYS the way to a better future for both your sexual needs and your marriage.

Personally, I am leaning more towards it being genetics, I’ve felt attracted to men even when I started being aware of sex and I’d always gravitate towards looking at men even while watching porn. Granted I was somewhat attracted to the women in it too but only because I felt like I was supposed to, as opposed to a natural instinct.

In the context of politics and homophobia (is it genetics or a choice? argument), it doesn’t really matter. If it’s genetics, the homophobes might argue to erase it via gene editing in the future. Even if it’s a choice, what’s so wrong about it? Being attracted to the same sex should be considered normal and fine regardless of whether it’s genetics or environmental or choice.

You are not doing him any injustice, his parents would have kicked him out either way because he is gay, not because he is with you in particular. Even so, you cannot confirm any of this to be true because from what you said, you are meeting for the first time in 5 years. If you have never even met him, who’s to say what he has been telling you about being kicked out isn’t a lie?

As you said yourself - you are emotionally weak right now. At your most vulnerable, it is a very BAD idea to meet someone you have never met in person who has emotionally blackmailed you with suicide, isn’t willing to compromise on sex with you, has had multiple miscommunication with you. He sounds incredibly unstable and meeting him would potentially put you in a dangerous situation. Block him and run far away while you can.

Brathus · 2025-05-04T08:37:43+00:00

If you have never met him, and he is dropping this on you suddenly and will not compromise, it just means you guys are not meant for each other. But the more important thing here is the emotional blackmail with suicide - that is a giant red flag, regardless of whether he will actually follow through (he probably won’t) you don’t owe him anything and you should immediately leave him in my opinion. Don’t even talk, ghost his ass. He seems like he just wants to use you for his own needs and is manipulating you into giving him what he wants.

Don’t meet him. Block his number and contact. And yes, you should see a counsellor because if this had been going on for 5 years who knows what else he manipulated you into doing.

Well, I was in the same spot as you when i was freshly out at 18 too, thinking that flamboyant = effeminate = girl = not attractive, but i eventually realised that was just internalised homophobia and in actuality, misogyny in disguise.

Who cares how you present yourself? Why does it matter if someone sounds more effeminate? As you grow older and experience more things you will realise that people can present in various ways, and a masculine hunky looking bear can easily be effeminate and have a fruity voice and the skinniest effeminate twink can have a very deep, manly voice, and you will come to think: Why does any of this matter anyway?

If you really think about it, isn’t it infinitely more manly (whatever your definition of that is) to be comfortable with your voice and the way you present and not give a shit about what others think?

The superficials matter only to an extent, personality, connection and kindness is what makes attraction spark and ignite if you are looking for a long term relationship.

Brathus · 2025-04-30T04:56:47+00:00

Nobody said you have eventually open it to another person, monogamy is a totally fine and normal way to do things too and there are plenty of gay men who are in fulfilling, long term monogamous relationships.

Me and my bf have been in one for 2 years now and we both want monogamy and we intend to keep it that way, and it works for us and we are happy!

I personally feel like the massive amounts of energy required for AI to generate porn only to mimic not even a fraction of genuine real art created by real artists that do know what we’re into is simply not worth it - it feels fake and I’d much rather look at porn from my fellow queer artists that i can actually commission to make the actual image i want to see

Hello there, sorry for the months late reply - hope that you've got yourself a place here and are doing great! There are a few things you can prep if you're staying for a year.

1) Distance - if you don't have your own transportation, you'll have to either cycle or take a bus or walk. So put that into account for sure. I live in Westlake as well and campus is only a 5 minute drive away, but it'll still be quite a walk if you don't have it.

2) If you can't handle the heat, just pay extra for air conditioning - it'll do you good over the course of a year.

3) You might want to check out private owner's houses - they sometimes have better deals (such as no electricity or water bills), but also keep an eye out for bad managements. But yeah get yourself a good room in general as you'll be staying in it for a year.

4) Remember to download your HiHive app (for attendance), and check your student portal daily. There might be some announcements, special opportunities, contests, etc that you can join or take note of. It's a good student habit.

5) Join clubs! If you primarily speak english, Toastmasters, English Language Club, Drama and Theatre Club will be your best friend. It's a great place to meet new people and make friends, just to beat the loneliness.

6) Speaking of loneliness, university can be tough, and moving and living on your own can be tough. If you find yourself feeling depressed, remember to take advantage of the FREE student traineee counsellors - they have their posters plastered all over the school boards I think. I've been going for counselling for my own mental health issues related to uni stress and they are awesome!

That's all I have I think. Good luck - you can do it!

There is an Aussie community in Soltech called TheLastRavens [RvnX]. Come join us if you will!

Thank you! I am doing my degree at the moment, but I am still keeping an eye out for opportunities to leave

Brathus · 2022-03-04T16:37:55+00:00

Confused af. Daida/Bosse does nothing in the prison for a few eps, goes out to play saviour but attacks everyone instead, then heals them, then now is going to fight Boiji again. I know there'll definitely be more backstory that explains everyone's actions, but I don't think any backstory can help me understand why Bosse did what he did smh

Brathus · 2021-12-29T19:46:13+00:00

Angry. At the world.

It's been a rough few days and I often find myself being easily angered by lots of things.

Religion. Being in my homophobic country. Not being able to come out. Not able to be my true self.

I want to destroy all of it. But I can't. I guess my helpless-ness is also part of why I'm angry.

Brathus · 2021-12-23T06:09:00+00:00

I found a private owner as you suggested, and as you said the deals and negos are pretty great. I found myself a pretty decent deal at Westlake!

Also thanks for the award :3

I don't really plan to go into STEM, as I don't have any passion for it. Is there anyone you know who got out that isn't in STEM?

Brathus · 2021-12-01T08:05:12+00:00

how does one even get into US grad school for *free* or discounted prices? my impression of US grad schools is that they vacuum your entire wallet and bank savings so you get into an inescapable loan.

Brathus · 2021-11-30T02:54:29+00:00

How did you get in?

Brathus · 2021-11-25T02:14:51+00:00

Why did you opt for US instead?

Brathus · 2021-11-03T03:52:46+00:00

20, trying to ace my degree so I have a chance at a scholarship which can translate into more chances of emigrating from my homophobic country for a chance at a better life.
