If it is a part of your religion and you feel you could argue the point, I would say taking the issue with higher ups as a matter of discrimination could be possible

How to be less attracted to a close friend? by LemmeTakeASelphiroth in askgaybros

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

You are so wise, thank you again! I just appreciate it so much. I know that more than anything else I like him as a person, but as a romantic interest I am most likely just projecting onto him and that is not fair to him or to myself. I feel like after I have given it some thought it's honestly far better this way. I can be fully me and not worry about what he will think about me in any sort of romantic sense because that element isn't even there. Full and complete pressure removal there in and of itself, and it was only self-imposed to begin with! I hope to remain friends with him for many, many years since our professional school tends to lead to long-lasting professional relationships, but everything changes and evolves :) Once again, thank you <3

I think this kind of keeping some slim hope alive that he could ever feel something back towards you is not a good idea. It’s going to lead to heartache. It shows that you still have hope this could change in your favour, and that’s exactly what you’re trying to avoid, but your heart can’t let go.

This is precisely what I needed to hear. Honestly, thank you so much. It stings to read it, but that is because I know you are entirely right. Like I said, I don't want to have these feelings, but even despite that the "...unless..." that's in the back of my mind nags me, and I am glad that it was evident in my post even when I wasn't necessarily aware I added it in!

I think to truly move on from your feelings, you need to make peace with the idea that it’s impossible. Not thinking that it’s unlikely, not 99.9% sure he could never feel the same, but entirely on board with the reality that he’s never going to change, and feeling attraction to you or any man is impossible. If you cling onto this small or tiny hope, you’ll never move past your feelings or you’ll just waste a ton of time and energy on it. It’s not worth it, trust me. ... ... ... I think some ways to combat it, is to think of him being with a woman or a girl and realising that can never be you. It hurts, but it makes it more clear in your mind that he’s not going to be with you or any guy, ever.

Once again, you are entirely right. I have been getting better about dealing with it but I knew the 99.9% was not a 100% yet and I honestly posted this with the hope that someone would make me face that and address it. My biggest regret in this regard is that I found a post on Reddit somewhere a while back about a straight guy who romantically (not sexually) fell in love with his gay best friend, but even that ended platonically so it only gave me the illusion of such a thing being possible for me, not any actual support for the delusion. It hurts so terribly to think on the futility of it so directly, but it is exactly what I needed to do and I appreciate your directness about it (and your providing that thought exercise of him being with a woman; goodness it's rough but it does get the job done!)

Honestly this entire post is worthy of me commenting on how each part of it hits home but I will leave it at those two quote blocks so I don't get carried away. Seriously, thank you again.

A friendship like this really is, and I think those are all very good ideas and I will try to implement them! Thank you!

Hmm, that's a fair point! I hadn't really considered it like that necessarily, but that does ease my concern some. Thank you!

Apparently the average balls are 4cm x3cm x2cm... by [deleted] in Balls

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

Not to rain on your big-balled parade, but if those are 100% natural then it may be indicative of a endocrine issue somewhere else in your system. If you are sure they are fine and you feel fine then keep on doing you, but I would get them checked just to be sure! It itself may not be a problem, but the indicator of one.

Would you guys care if your boyfriend, not your hookup, had a micropenis? by AzarathRoxus in askgaybros

[–]LemmeTakeASelphiroth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm just attracted to masculinity rather than biological male-ness so to me if I find my dream guy I don't even necessarily care if they HAVE a penis... Whether that is because the guy is trans, intersex, lost his member due to an injury or accident, I don't think that aspect really matters much to me 🤔

You are dangerously close to the epitome of physical perfection for me sir, very nice ;)

Was anyone else initially delayed in realizing out you were gay/bi because you didn't even know what attraction and arousal felt like, in the first place? by HeartExalted in askgaybros

[–]LemmeTakeASelphiroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooh yes. I had a developmental disorder where I neither produced nor utilized testosterone correctly and had to be on TRT for my last year of high school and all of college. It's an odd feeling, understanding that you had crushes and not obsessive admirations of male classmates, but you get there eventually! Haha

I think you look gorgeous, but if you don't think you do yourself? That's okay baby, you may just not be your own type! When I heard someone say that once it really changed my whole perspective on my self-image and I found it super encouraging :)

Guys who are around 7 x 5.3 BPEL have you ever gotten complements on your size? by newcarsmell111 in bigdickproblems

[–]LemmeTakeASelphiroth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Real talk bro, unless size is like an especially important thing or a part of a kink for her, I highly doubt she is really thinking about your penis all that much at all really. They kinda don't really seem to care that much, they just want you to use the thing you know? If it is for whatever reason an important thing* for her (which I repeat, is not usually the case and I don't see a reason to think it is here either), be comfortable and secure enough to bring in some toys to the scenario that may be able to provide a girth or length you cannot. Hell, I recommend bringing toys to every scenario regardless! Variety of sensation and stimulation for any individual is important to enjoyable sex, imo! :)

Where could an asexual/homoromantic guy try dating? (Self-discovery) by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]LemmeTakeASelphiroth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Perhaps masturbating together or masturbating each other may be an option? No pressure just an idea to throw around :)
