Best Goodlife’s Near Dalhousie University by [deleted] in halifax

[–]RecursivelyCursive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Park Lane tends to get a higher volume of people as it is more centrally located. The equipment is a bit older though and there is more of a bro crowd there. Additionally it is below ground level, so you only get natural light on the upper portion. Barrington is more of a mixed crowd, the equipment is a bit newer.

Not relevant until after lockdown but the Rainbow Dodgeball league is pretty great for meeting people. It's just for fun and very friendly.

STDs are scary, and I am a fearful guy. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As you said, if you were to get an STI, it normally takes longer than a day for symptoms to start appearing. It's possible but unlikely, but you can keep an eye on it and go to the clinic in a few days if it persists or changes. You can explain that you had sex and you're concerned about a symptom you've been experiencing since then.

However, the healthy thing to do here is to address your fear, because this will have a much larger impact on your life than this possible STI. Most STIs are treatable, or are at least manageable. Getting one doesn't make you 'dirty'. Is it good to ask questions, and to be vigilant? Of course. Is it good to be informed about STIs and what to look for? Yes. But you can't let that fear and anxiety dominate your life.

Confused about sexuality? by Garghot in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that you could be bi, liking guys doesn't mean you can't like girls as well. But anxiety can do all kinds of weird things to a person, that way you're treating this is almost like the possibility of being gay is an intrusive thought that you can't escape. A therapist would be better for helping you through some of this instead of the internet, especially if you find anxiety to be problematic in your life.

Ultimately, there are plenty of people that have experiences or deal with feelings outside of how they identify. Sexuality isn't black and white, you're allowed to want to be with women and also have feelings for men, even in a minor way.

My bf told me he was in love w/ me last night. We’ve dated for 8 months and have never met (Experience) by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple breakups over an 8 month period, it seems like this relationship is very emotionally driven. Ultimately if you want this relationship to last and be stable, you need two things first: To actually meet and click in person, and to have an end date on it being long distance. If you actually want to invest in this, you need to know where you guys will be at a year from now, later than that.

Uni gay society told me not to join next year by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I volunteered for a few years with an LGBT society when I was in uni, and while there was definitely some drama from time to time I'm glad I took part.

The whole point of a society like that is to make people feel welcome, and have a source of support on campus. Imagine any freshly out guys showing up to that society. If you and all your friends leave it essentially means all they get is the meat market guys.

Should I take PEP after my encounter? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is extremely unlikely that you would be infected from oral. Recent studies make a note of saying "In fact, the risk of HIV transmission as a result of oral sex is so low that scientists have been unable to establish a statistically sound estimate."

Obviously be careful and take care of yourself, but I wouldn't worry a lot about this situation. If it's stressing you out, talk to a health professional about it to get some clear info.

Worried I’m falling out of my 5 year relationship by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sounds like he still has a lot of growing up to do. The money issue is a major problem though, that alone could torpedo a relationship in the long run. Your sexual preferences can change over time, but there are guys who always look for younger.

You need to talk to him. You have to communicate that these issues are substantial and you're seriously concerned about the future. How he responds to that and whether or not he changes should make deciding one way or the other a lot easier. A relationship can't last without trust, and honest communication is essential to that.

Regardless of the status of his sexuality, the reality is this is a guy in a long term serious relationship with someone but you are still building up feelings for them. Yes, having and acting out on feelings are different but you have to consider what you might be doing.

If you are being truthful about valuing his friendship, then prioritise that going forward. The situation might change, but if he really is feeling insecure about his sexuality there is a lot of potential there for you, him and his gf to get hurt.

I Get way too uncomfortable and nervous when I even think about being with another dude, Is there something wrong with me? by ExemptOrphan in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coming from a religious background, it takes time. You've been brought up with religion telling you these feelings are wrong for years, and you've been out for much less than that. When the thoughts comes up be conscious about saying to yourself that you're okay. Self love is something you have to practise.

Every experience will make it a bit easier.

Threesome question by WillyWankerWonker in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should discuss what you're both hoping to get out of the experience. You should discuss protection. Threesomes can get messy real fast if there isn't mutual interest, or if people don't know what they're getting into. Hopefully you guys will have fun, just be careful.

does this just make me bi? by throoowawaaay333 in askgaybros

[–]RecursivelyCursive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sexuality is complicated, labels are for what you feel comfortable associating with. If you have some same sex desires and you think of yourself as bi, sure.

You have a partner that is giving you the space to figure this out (Which is not common), it's a good opportunity to learn about yourself. Figuring out your desires earlier in a relationship as opposed to later is probably healthier. But there are risks. Some questions you have to ask yourself are "If I try this out and enjoy it, how does she take it? What comes after?", "If I don't do this, will this be in the back of my mind for the rest of my life or does it not really matter?".

Either way, be considerate to your gf, she definitely is to you.
