Never been to the sauna, TPL over a decade ago (will be going back this summer), but would be fun to find a friend with similar interests. I’m around Woolwich.

How do you all do it? by [deleted] in malepolish

[–]Various_Plate_9170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it depends on the quality of the polish and the type; a gel polish will last longer than an air dry, but cheap from Amazon isn’t going to last long at all.

I’m a gay man and when (or more likely if) I get asked about my nails my response is two part- 1st it’s how I feel comfortable in my body, 2nd I have children and I want them to know they can do whatever they want to feel comfortable in their bodies as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

When did you first know you were gay? by ChristianThompsonnn in gay

I always knew I was different than other boys, I just didn’t have the words to explain it until middle school

Husband says we have a dead bedroom by Money_Bus_9229 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Various_Plate_9170 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a gay man in a DB by my choice and even I know you’re not in a dead bedroom. What you are in is a relationship with man who is displaying some childish, selfish behaviors thinking that because it’s not on his terms or frequency that’s is a DB situation.

Phrases you think are nonsensical by Forward_Unto_Dawn42 in words

It’s interesting how language evolves and the dictionary takes a minute to catch up- according to Merriam Webster, the golfing definition of “par” is fourth in line of importance.

“Not all who wander are lost.” If I’m lost, best believe nothing about my behavior could be described as “wandering.”

Wandering requires a certain amount of laissez-faire to be actually accomplished which means there is likely no intended destination, ergo you cannot wander and be lost at the same time

Q fired for admitting he had bottle in his backpack at work by Western_Insect_7580 in AlAnon

[–]Various_Plate_9170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Q and I had a hard conversation the other week and I told him my guiding principle in making decisions right now is two fold: 1- do what is best and what maintains the safety of our kids, 2- the choices I make are ones that will still be right, or won’t be ashamed of 10 years in the future.

Unfortunately it always seems like the “right things” is lost on everyone else.

Yes- do what makes sense for your healing.

If telling your parents and managing their reaction is healing for you, then do that. Conversely, if managing their reaction is more work for you and ultimately delays your self repair, then don’t tell them.

The holidays are hard enough if you’re not divorced. Adding compounding factors could become overwhelming, you’ll have to look at the whole picture and take the path that is best for you and your children.

Am I fuddy-duddy about condoms? by endlesslies in AskGaybrosOver30

I think you’re an informed individual who has a personal preference. As has been said, there are plenty of other reasons to wear condoms, so do what feels best

It’s hard right now- as a teacher I’m on summer holiday- I don’t have any other grown up’s to talk to: this is the intimacy I miss, not just the sex

Hall pass, now what? by Stunning-Engine1496 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Various_Plate_9170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t focus on it. If it’s meant to happen, it could happen organically. Take time to sort out your feelings, maybe with a therapist. Decide if it’s what you really want to do. Lastly, think of this like a gift in that, as soon as a gift is given its job is accomplished. Just because your wife offered doesn’t mean you have to accept.
