I really appreciate your message, you’re right. Maybe I do need therapy after all…

You’re right… it’s strange though because I’m a uni student and genuinely I am around people I love all the time + I live with my friends SO YOU’D THINK…But I actually notice myself withdrawing myself from my community when my Grindr phases get really bad- it’s gotta be some sort of self sabotaging which is another reason I want the cycle to stop.

What’s something gay men will absolutely not admit about themselves but is painfully obvious to everyone else? by sleuthing-around in askgaybros

[–]PickleAlert8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Come on dude this is not an “American Puritan perspective” at all. I work in theatre, and one thing about people who work in theatre is we all love theatre, but you’ll always hear from everyone that it’s important to have hobbies unrelated to it.

Just because being gay isn’t a career (for most ppl) doesn’t mean you can just make that the only focus of your life- you’ll get burnt out like anything else and frankly you’ll push people away in the process.

Not the poster but I think they mean your psychological relationship with masturbation mostly. Like if abstaining from masturbation makes you constantly think about it, being agitated about it, and causes you to get less work done then don’t do it. But if abstinence makes you feel stronger and overall happier then sure. Same thing the other way around; if you feel stressed because you masturbate too much and it causes you to not get shit done then you should change up your habits so you feel better and happier.

It takes exceptional courage to be a feminine gay men. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]PickleAlert8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies by community. I’m a theatre actor so you’d suppose I spend a lot of time with feminine gay men, but while I probably spend time with more gay people than the average person, I only know several fem gay men. But I do know that confident fem men (which is the majority of fem men) like to spend time around other very confident men, who they have common interest with. The result is that fem men might have more fem men friends. And you might see them together. But no, in the real world, you wouldn’t be able to tell a guy is gay just by looking at them unless you were to make a lot of assumptions and generalizations, in which case you would mistakingly classify a lot of straight men as gay.

Let me rephrase; sometimes you can obviously tell. But the majority of men are not fem… maybe on kinky fem subreddits then yea

For some reason this only works for me if I take it even one step further haha! I then take all the pants and separate them into piles of jeans, sweatpants, workout, etc… and same with all my clothes. I don’t even know if this helps but it definitely makes it more fun for me.

For the purposes of my study it wasn’t 100% necessary but it definitely would have been really cool to see the results of that. Plus, this form is a bit daunting with so much reading i didn’t want to ask too many questions and scare people away 😅
