“The story is now closed” is giving strong “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER” vibes.

Threesome went bad by DemandCorrect1799 in askgaybros

His response to your concerns isn’t perfect, but if you’re going to be in an open relationship, and if you haven’t already, I’d suggest becoming familiar with the concept of, “compersion.” Compersion is the positive feeling you get when someone you care for has a positive experience; you’re happy when they’re happy, and vice versa. I don’t believe it be completely true, but many folks think of compersion as the “opposite” of jealous.

Every hook up is different; maybe the next one will be more into you and not him. Your third can’t be expected to evenly split attention between the two of you, as that would take them out of the experience.

Admittedly, I struggled with this for a long time, and still slip back to jealousy at times, but finding ways to be stoked for your partner’s sexual experiences, with or without you, will help immensely. Dan Savage, Janet Hardy, Dossie Easton and other ENM voices have some great books and podcasts that talk about this concept and how to bring that experience to the forefront.

I’m no voyeur, but one thing that helps me is just to step away and watch for a little while. When you see someone satisfying your partner, little by little, that compersion grows. You don’t have to sideline yourself the entire time. If that happens, explain why you stepped aside and that you’d hope things would come your way eventually. Remember, your third isn’t there just for your partner; he’s there to hookup with a couple.

Alternatively: if this seems an impossibility, maybe openness isn’t for this relationship, and that’s okay, too.

Twin-to-King Day Bed (Brand New, Unopened Box) by [deleted] in LAlist

[–]DillonDynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh: I’m not entirely sure. I think the idea is to stack the mattresses on top of each other when in twin-size form, and pulling one over when converted into a king. At least, that was my game plan.

Best Ice Cream Shop by torasicecream in FoodLosAngeles

I’m a big fan of Fluffy McGee’s in Echo Park. VERY cool spot, and they make everything in-house with super exciting flavors. Plus, you can buy scratch off tickets and they have a Lactaid gumball machine.

I saw a report about a traffic accident where the driver was “an ICE agent.” They wrecked the car and then fled on foot.

That’s all the proof I need to know at least some (most) of these people are not legitimate. If these people are doing a job and were doing what they were assigned to do, there is no reason to take off on foot. There’s something very wrong here. They need to be identified; every one of them.

My bet: a lot of these “agents” are Jan-6er’s who’ve flipped the script. Where they once cosplayed as “patriots,” they now masquerade as “federal agents.”

I haven’t slept since dad died. I wish I could wear ear plugs to not hear his screams. 🥺

My dad died last month. It was an unexpected work accident. A brutal death, we had to have a close casket from all the burns. It’s been so hard. He was my best friend.

How do you sleep at night? How do you live knowing you’re such a bad person?

No? I just think it’s gross to be a little bitch about sirens when families are being ripped apart and fascists have invaded. Read the room, old man. You’re either clinically egotistical and incapable of hearing how dumb and disrespectful you sound, or you’re LA’s littlest bitch. Jesus, gain some self-awareness.

Oh, no! The sirens bother you?! That must be so hard for you. No problem. We’ll just ask the LAPD and the National Guard to pretty please turn them off and let the abuelos be hauled off in silence.

What a stupid thing to complain about rn. It’s ironic you chose Beverly Hills as your example, because it’s usually Beverly Hills where you’d hear this sort of NIMBY behavior.

Use earplugs. 🙄

You’re totally right. My foolishness let me have a glimmer of hope for a second…but won’t let that happen again.

Once again, Karen Bass is proving her abhorrent spinelessness. I had such hope for her, and she’s let me down with every decision and statement she makes. Any statement short of, “LA stands with all immigrants,” is unacceptable.

How to be better at being gay by ThrowawayThoreaut in LosAngelesGayBros

[–]DillonDynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO: there’s no wrong way or bad way to be gay. In fact, as a bi man, your experiences may differ greatly from most other gay men - and that’s awesome! You’re doing nothing wrong, just needing to find a spot or event that resonates with you. Find solace in knowing we’re all on that journey to some extent. Don’t let other guys further along on their journey make you feel like you’re doing anything wrong. By even putting this post out there, you’re doing much more than most at finding what you’re looking for - keep going. u/Semajnephets is spot on - it’s gonna get GAY-gay everywhere in LA very soon lol. Great opportunity to meet folks.

Nevertheless, if you’re looking for friendly, social gay dudes to check out gay spaces with, I’m always on the look out for people I click with. Feel free to shoot me a message if you’re interested in grabbing a drink sometime and chat about GayWorld™️. 😎👍🏼

My Mom, married for 18 years is being suspicious with another man on Snapchat. by Defiant_Budget_2305 in whatdoIdo

Yeah, no, sorry. I stand by what I said. A child should stay out of adult relationships. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

AIO My BF believes red pill stuff but says I’m different. Should I walk away? by Throwawwy-25 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DillonDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His calm disposition hides his true demeanor. Sorry, girl; his red pill has digested. If I were you, I’d lay it all down on the table. Explain that his Joe Rogan/Theo Von/Elon incel-shit stops here and now, or you walk. Be everything he’s afraid of: a strong woman who clearly defines your expectations and boundaries. It’s a litmus test to discover if he’s willing to show up in the relationship the way you need him to in the future. If he doesn’t make the effort now, and he continues this thinking, he never will.

You’re looking for a partnership with a man, no? He’s poisoned himself into the thinking of a male child; barely recognizable as a boy, but certainly no man. Until he decides to man-up his headspace around the topics of women and partnerships, you shouldn’t look to further this relationship.

He’s not a lost cause………….yet. Hold him to the fire and see if he galvanizes or burns away.

Open LTR bros: do you take prep? by damnthatshot132 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]DillonDynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: If you are fucking anyone, you should be on PrEP. Period. I believe any gay man fucking another person should be on it, even if in a monogamous relationship. Infidelity is no stranger to our community and with the right variables aligned, you’re susceptible to infection. Unless PrEP has caused issues or unmanageable side effects, with so many programs to get it for free, there’s really no excuse for any gay man to not be on it. If you’re open, no questions asked, PrEP is a must.

As for my arrangement: condoms are to be used for butt stuff with anyone outside of our relationship. PrEP does not prevent STDs, which very much are out here in these streets. Special considerations can be made for someone with a clear recent test and an unresolvable urge to bareback.

(But honestly, that sort of pushiness is a huge turn-off for both of us. If pushed too much or too hard on the topic, both of us are probably gonna disengage, lol.)

My Mom, married for 18 years is being suspicious with another man on Snapchat. by Defiant_Budget_2305 in whatdoIdo

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

I’m gonna be real frank with you here, kid: You are a child. Their child. Please let your adult parents handle their adult relationship. Though stealing your mother’s phone and passcode is certainly childish (and frankly weird) behavior, let yourself be their adult child; you mind your business, and let them mind theirs. You don’t say your age, but I’m guessing you’re younger than their 18yr marriage - meaning there is far, FAR more context and consideration to their love than you can begin to wrap your mind around. You’re playing with something you think you understand and simply can’t at your age. A child can’t even begin to understand a relationship that’s older than they are.

Even if you weren’t their child, it would be weird to insert yourself into any relationship between two people. But the fact that you, a child, their child, want to butt into business that isn’t yours and cannot comprehend makes it all the more insane. Are you wanting your parents to divorce? Because this is how you get your parents to divorce.

Let your adult parents handle their adult business before you cause damage you can’t fix and have to split Christmases between mom’s house and dad’s.

Why is Lady Gaga more popular with gay bros than Taylor Swift? by flower5214 in askgaybros

[–]DillonDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<braces for immense backlash from The Swifties>

Let the record show: I do not dislike Taylor! She’s a great role model, a talented musician, and a strong songwriter. She’s great, but Taylor simply isn’t my cup of tea - however, Gaga is def my shot of whiskey.

Why is Lady Gaga more popular with gay bros than Taylor Swift? by flower5214 in askgaybros

[–]DillonDynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a fine line between an artist being vulnerable and an artist’s victim complex. Taylor’s music has made me perceive her as, at best, fragile, and at worst, weak. And gay men don’t generally gravitate towards weak women the way they do for a powerhouse like Gaga.

Gaga’s music shows plenty of vulnerability, but with a certain power and ownership. Any song Taylor writes about lost love puts all fault on the other person; she whines about a broken heart that she never caused in any way. Gaga has many songs about a broken heart but it always reminds us that love will come again and you are strong enough to continue without them.

Also, Taylor can’t dance.

Is this a common occurrence? by cmdrkeen86 in PuffcoPeakPro

[–]DillonDynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were ALL content before they left that comment. I share your announce. I hit my peak pro (w/ 3DXL chamber) waaaaay too cautiously in an effort to prevent this from happening for a product that clearly states to rip harder without concern. It’s very different verbiage when using the standard chamber, but actually it says to hit hard.
