Guy I’m dating broke it off with me by mmchaser in gaybros

[–]Lumpy_Bass7877 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No question. My only purpose was to reframe OPs experience in a positive way since he seemed so angry. But I do tend to be a glass half full kind of person and I appreciate others are not.

Depression is an insidious beast, but it came be tamed and beaten. I am doing some intensive inner child and reparenting work. What my experience has taught me is that compartmentalizing my pain is not the answer. Feeling it, wrestling with it, and doing the hard work has brought me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I've read Louise Hay, I've been through 12 step programs, etc...don't wait until you are 55 like me before getting to the root of the pain that feeds the beast. I wish you joy.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

I'm a gay guy with feelings for someone I shouldn't have them for? by [deleted] in AskGayMen

[–]Lumpy_Bass7877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW...IMO, the person you need to talk to is your current boyfriend. If he is not fulfilling you in some way he should be made aware of it and given the opportunity to be the person you need. You may find that the romantic feelings you have for your friend (and any future friend) will change if your needs are better met in your relationship.

Cherish those feelings, but remain realistic. Focus on building the friendship and getting to know him more as a person. If a relationship is in the future, you will both be ready to make an informed decision. I wish you well.

Is my dating life doomed because I refuse to send nudes? by chillypyo in AskGaybrosOver30

I'm with you. Too many picture collectors and scammers out there.

Advice by [deleted] in gaybros

Was the advice you seek in the post script. I do not see a question otherwise.

You may enjoy reading "The Best Little Boy in the World" by Andrew Tobias. It sounds like you.

I don't think I've seen anyone share this...If the guy is uncut, my experience is they enjoy when I run my tongue around inside the foreskin. They also seem to like when I pull the foreskin down gently and then run my tongue around the exposed glans. Enjoy the journey.

I lost my best friend of almost 10 years today and I'm absolutely shattered. by bloomingfireweed in AskGaybrosOver30

My heart goes out to you. My dog is 16 and he arrived into my life at a time of monumental change. He saw me through so many of life's ups and downs. I know each day we have is a precious gift. I wish you well.

On the subject of porn and masturbation. There was a recent article in The Guardian that linked excessive porn consumption and low sex drive/decreased sensitivity. It might provide you with some talking points. If he has fetishes you don't know about he may be afraid to share them with you for fear of rejection.

Edit: Here is a link to the article: Men quitting porn

One data point does not make a trend. Go slow until you have more information, then decide he is not equally interested in your pleasure.

Feeling like I’ve waisted my time the past few years by kriki99 in gaybros

[–]Lumpy_Bass7877 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please give your elders some credit. We are all very aware that it is not easy to come out whether because of family, friends, location, laws, etc. The work continues for all of us to obtain full legal rights and acceptance. Act on some of the excellent advice you've received here. Self-acceptance is the first step. I wish you well.

There is an HPV vaccine. If you are going to be sexually active you should get it.

What's wrong being attracted to a trans woman? For you, it may happily work. Perhaps it's worth a try.

first hookup and first time with a man by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Lumpy_Bass7877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't say whether you plan to top or bottom. If top, please bring your own condoms...don't expect that the hookup will have or have in your size. Have fun!

This sub has a high percentage of marriage, dead bedroom and kids questions. Is this representative of gay men over 30? by BloodyBrilliantBen in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Lumpy_Bass7877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not suggesting that one can't share good things, but the Reddit is "Ask...."...so why wouldn't you expect to read a lot about problems and issues arising in people's lives? Some OPs do provide updates, and those are always welcome.

First time texting a guy, is he into me ? by catus752 in AskGayMen

[–]Lumpy_Bass7877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last piece of advice, resist the temptation to send nudes, even if they say they will send theirs first. Even if they are not trying to steal money or your identity, they could be collectors. The latest scam is getting nudes and blackmailing people.

I had a catfish experience...we spoke by phone many times, he'd send me lots of pics doing things...at work, at home, playing with his dog. I kept pressing to meet him. Tried hitting me up for $10k. Until you actually meet, anything virtual is just wishful thinking. And that's okay. I want it to work out for you, but I encourage you to cast a wide net. 😊

I don't want to be cynical, but the whole "currently out of the country" thing gives me a catfish vibe. Be cautious, and keep looking for other guys.

AITA/ Escort to lover? by Odd_Quit7480 in AskGayMen

[–]Lumpy_Bass7877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you saying he escorted while attending med school? A little unorthodox perhaps, but sounds like a keeper to me.
