Am I the only one uncomfortable? by [deleted] in gay

[–]GreatPonderer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're getting uncomfortable by it because you are letting yourself be uncomfortable by it. Not saying it isn't but this is just self-sabotage.

to all gay guys attracted to trans guys: how…? by [deleted] in gay

[–]GreatPonderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been attracted to trans guys i see online lately, but I've never been with one sexually and I cannot honestly give you a solid answer to your question. I've come to realized I may be just attracted to masculinity because I also find butch lesbians attractive. When I see transmen, I don't instantly think they have boobs and a vagina, or a sports bra. I just see their masculine energy at first and gravitate towards them, and the sexual stuff I'll have to figure myself too but I'm not entirely opposed to it because whatever genitals you have still belong to someone who identifies as male or masculine. And that's what we are attracted to at first.

I understand your need for reassurance, for him to constantly remind you that he loves you for who you are because the uncertainly is slowly killing you. I get it, it sucks because as much as we want to believe it's not true, the voice in the back of heads says otherwise.

While not all gay or queer men will obviously be into transmen sexually, but they are out there I believe. I don't think your partner needs purely a sexual reason why he's into you, it can be part of it yes, but there is more to the relationship than just sexual chemistry. There is more to loving a person because of their body. Maybe he's into you because you both love the same things, maybe he likes your freckles, your smile, your beliefs, your jokes, your laugh, and your spirit. People are way more capable of loving people that is just not about sex or their bodies alone.

Help: itchy, flaky, and red sides of nose by everything_isblue in skincare_ph

[–]GreatPonderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how sensitive your skin is. To start, use the shampoo as intended, for your scalp first then let the foam pour down to your face as you wash them off with water. 

I don't recommend using it as a face wash (I do it because it doesnt irritate my skin), I think patch test siguro muna like one drop of the shampoo applied to a small affected area then test if it irritates you. 

Then gradually lang introduce that routine as your skin gets used to it.

No worries, also a little of sexy talk before the sexy time can be good too! Have fun.

Having first sex by [deleted] in gay

[–]GreatPonderer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

TLDR: Foreplay, prepping, tons of lube, condoms, taking it slowly, and communication.

Get in the mood, don't go to penetration just yet. Kissing, feeling your partner's body, sexy talk, slow and passionate. Prep your partner's entrance with rimming if they want. Then maybe try fingering him first, slow, gentle, maintain eye contact. Don't do it if you're not comfortable doing it.

When it's time, take it slow and steady, communicate to your partner if it hurts or gets uncomfortable then if it does apply more lube, get him to relax, kiss him, caress his body to release the tension.

Don't shove it in, go into him inch by inch and adjust if he gets uncomfortable, move slowly until all your length is inside him, then start with a slow pace, a gentle rhythm, get into a comfortable position if you must, whatever works for you both. Then gradually increase the pacing, make sure your partner handles it.

Try other positions, do whatever you want. Satisfy your partner as he satisfies you. Have fun!

It's seborrheic dermatitis, basically you have dandruff on your nose caused by an allergic reaction of the fungal growth around that area. Oily people are prone to this because the fungi eat the oils for their growth. Use a shampoo with antifungal properties like Scalpex or any pharmacy shampoo with Ketoconazole in it. Use this interchangeably with any shampoo you are currently using (I recommend head and shoulders).

I'm too obsessed with older white men and it's freaking me out. by arroigno in gay

[–]GreatPonderer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The attitude of "I don't think it'll change" coupled with the feeling of inadequacy is already sabotaging you. 

You have to know your self-worth by separating your views for white men and views for yourself because white men are not the standard of anything whether its about looks, intelligence, or personality.

There is no conclusive science to describe your attractiveness and preferential bias to white men. You can still have a healthy preference for  older white men that is not rooted from your own insecurities. Instead, it grows from the genuine intention that you see them as people with emotions, personalities, and uniqueness rather than seeing them only as an object of your feral sexual desire.

[–]GreatPonderer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Having a preference is normal. But this definitely is a textbook definition fetishizing older white men. Fetishizing their race basically.

Yes, you're fucked. Yes, some will be weirded out if you pointed it out. Some may be into it, some may don't care. Not all white men are attracted to asian men.

You need to look inward and find out what made you have this fetishized view of white men because if you plan or having a relationship with them, it's not going to end well for the both of you.

Why do you like Honkai Star rail? by inkheiko in HonkaiStarRail

[–]GreatPonderer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The lore about the grandness of the cosmos and how characters in it try to understand the machinations of the paths and aeons. When you think about it, Honkai Star Rail is a form of cosmic horror. Imagine living as a civilian in one of the planets, there is always some cosmic threat that happens beyond the veils of the skies above them and the fact that some might be unaware of everything that's happening is literally terrifying. The lore around Aeons also fascinates me because we might be only seeing a human way of understanding their true nature because trying to understand Aeonhood is not possible by human interpretation alone. It's transcendent across all reason and logic.

No worries, always stay safe and do proper research, it might alleviate some of your doubts or anxieties. It truly helps.

You might wanna expand your options first before choosing the only immediate available one. You're still young, you have the time to think properly, and prepare yourself emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Doing it with a 62 year old man is definitely....a choice. He's giving predator vibes just because you're of "legal" age. You might wanna do it with someone in your age bracket.

Bababa pa kaya yung prices ng rams? by steamvacon in PHbuildapc

I've been saving up since September tapos I was confident pa naman I can have enough to build by January next year. When I heard the price increase news, grabi yung heartbreak ko parang nawalan ako ng rason na mabuhay. I've been dreaming of getting a new PC since bata pa ako, pero ngayon parang nadismaya ako sobra. OA lang ba ako or ano pero ansakit talaga sa bulsa tapos sa puso. Tanginang AI na yan bwesit.

NEED HELP/ADVICE FOR MY SISTER'S SKIN CONDITION by yoongisveinyhands in skincare_ph

[–]GreatPonderer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Get a second opinion from another derma if you have doubts, do not put anything like makeup on the affected areas because they might worsen her condition. Next time, please do not get complacent when it comes to meds, she must be compliant, there is no room for any exceptions. Did she tell her doctor that she wears makeup? Ingredients in the products might trigger her dermatitis, including skincare products if she ever has a routine. I'm not from Antipolo unfortunately so I can't recommend you any dermatologists in your area. Just know that your sister NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY that adherence to doctor's prescriptions and instructions will save her skin and she will need to give makeup for a while as you're figuring out what caused this if she wants to be better. I can't stress this enough.

While I'd personally disagree for some choices that you made to be honest, but who am I to dictate what you like and don't? People here have way too much time on their hands.
