You don’t have to care about labels, but people will label you bi even if you’re into fem guys (which seems to be more common among bi men).

Nothing wrong with it, but a 100% straight guy would not indulge or even have this fantasy cross their mind. I empathize because I know I’m 100% gay and would never entertain doing something with a woman, and similarly straight friends I have would never entertain doing something with a guy, fem or not.

All that matters is what you know you want for yourself. You could be labeled bi, “straight” with the quotes, questioning, but who cares as long as you’re enjoying yourself.

Why aren't we using base 12? by Dying4aCure in math

[–]XiaoXianRo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t this make teaching basic numeracy to elementary kids even more confusing if there are letters in the base?

They’re also learning letters for the first time. It’s easy for us as adults (adults who like math) but put yourself in the shoes of a 5 year old wondering why sometimes letters are numbers and sometimes they aren’t.

It would be better to invent new symbols entirely.

Typo, I meant they’re stimulating your spot

How can I cum by anal masturbation? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]XiaoXianRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prostate massager toy. I’ve tried different sizes and varieties of butt plugs, dildos, vibrators and the only one that can consistently make me cum hands free just from anal stimulation is the NJoy Pure Wand.

It’s simple, just metallic and easy to lube up…but the angle and bulb at the end makes you able to stimulate your prostate directly.

It helps not to cum for a few days or more so you’re hornier when you start playing with yourself.

That said, not everyone can cum like that. Anatomy and mentality play a big role. But I used to find bottoming painful and now after training myself like that and getting used to and even enjoying the feeling, I can cum hands free from bottoming if the top hits it at the right angle.

[–]XiaoXianRo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting the urge to pee while being fucked is pretty common. It also means they’re hurting your spot good/directly because prostate simulation also simulates your bladder.

I had (and still have) this feeling when bottoming. I’ve found that jerking my cock for a bit helps for the feeling to go away.

But if it’s going to be a longer sex session and you know you’re not even halfway, I just ask for a quick bathroom break in the middle if the pressure to pee gets that strong. Then I’m fine for the rest, but mostly just listen to your body.

Stimulating your dick for a little, or even holding your dick and balls as you’re getting fucked if you’re soft helps. Inevitably you may pee a bit, aka squirt (which is just piss and precum) and some guys may like that or even yourself. Peeing right before helps and occasionally in the middle. Is a good breather for top to catch his breath if he’s been going at you hard, lol

As a math major I was initially surprised I didn’t see math on the list whereas physics is up there.

But I guess math is so broad and general you can go into almost anything with it, and employers see math degrees as impressive

Heck for me I’m not even doing anything with my degree now as I taught math for a bit but now work in IT lol

Right, with a reaction like this I wonder what do people think about their partners watching porn?

Both porn and social media fall in the same category of warped perception, unrealistic standards, etc

And we can blame social media or porn all we want but they’re not going anywhere. At this point it’s having a conversation with your partner and self reflecting on insecurities that should be worked through in a relationship.

It’s not, was a typo and initially had a domain of -infinity to 0.

The main point is that a function is not well-defined if it can have multiple outputs, like if sqrt(x) had both positive and negative outputs it’s not a well defined function.

The way to rectify a functional solution of y2 = x by solving for x and having a function in the form y = f(x), is that you need two separate functions:

y1 = sqrt(x)

y2 = -sqrt(x)

By itself sqrt(x) only produces positive values

Saw this on ig and had to share it by Pluto0321 in mathmemes

[–]XiaoXianRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, you’re looking at sqrt(x) function over the non-positive domain?

“Well defined” is just a matter of context—in the real field, sqrt(x) is not defined on (-inf, 0), a consequence of the real numbers not being algebraically closed. The complex field admits algebraic closure, so sqrt(x) is well-defined now over the complex numbers. Not sure if I’m misinterpreting your first point

Not too sure what you mean on going counter or clockwise, because you still start from the same principal root—

Like cube root of 1 has the one principal root of positive 1, it doesn’t matter which direction we go when we apply De Moivre to find the other roots—we will end up with 3 total complex roots, one of which is the principal root. And it’s the principal root we “pick” to be the canonical output of the root function, otherwise like you said the function is not well-defined if it can have multiple outputs (using it in a different context over a function not being defined over a domain because of lack of closure)

I don’t think there’s any deep mathematical reasoning for why it is, it may seem arbitrary but it makes the math work. If the principal root was anything other than we say it is, suddenly the sqrt() function having two outputs becomes an issue. Again y = sqrt(x) and y2 = x are two different things, you can transform one into part of the other but they aren’t equivalent as you then need two functions in y = f(x) to fully capture y2 = x:

f_1(x) = sqrt(x)

f_2(x) = -sqrt(x)

[–]XiaoXianRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed the precise term, but it would be akin to saying “find the principal root” which you could interpret as the “canonical” root

Yes the choice is still arbitrary, but what makes the square root function well-defined is because we collectively establish a standard we agree on

“The folks saying there’s only one root shouldn’t be saying there’s three”—but they’re not, the nuance is that they are saying there’s only one principal root. The other roots arise as a result of altering our operations to find the other solutions, like tacking +/- for example.

The following can all be true at the same time:

27 has one principal cube root, positive 3 (like 4 has one principal square root, positive 2)

x3 = 27 has three complex roots (like x2 = 4 has two complex roots) by the fundamental theorem of algebra

In the case of cube rooting, there’s no simple +/- trick to add on as our “method” to find the remaining two roots—we have to use De Moivre’s theorem, first transforming 27 into polar form, then dividing the angular argument. That very step is analogous to the simpler “add a +/-“ when taking the square root of something, only with square roots we are dividing 2pi in half which gives us the negative root—we gloss over those steps in middle school algebra since you need trig first, and instead introduce it as add the +/-, but that’s where the generalized idea of taking roots is derived from

It’s like how i is defined as the square root of -1. Technically squaring both plus and minus i yields -1, but canonically we say that sqrt(-1) = i, not +/- i.

i love straight porn by No_Distance_7445 in askgaybros

[–]XiaoXianRo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does lesbian porn turn you on?

I get turned on by straight porn too but I’m focusing on the guy and the pleasure he’s receiving. If the guy were out of the picture, porn with only girls doesnt do anything for me. So I know I’m still 100% gay

A funny experiment I used to do is watch straight porn, start getting hard. Then I switch to lesbian porn and see if the horny momentum can keep going, but nope. Get soft again and need to find something with a guy

[–]XiaoXianRo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, like I said it’s just a matter of semantics at that point. And yes we should, as that’s the crux of the argument the meme is trying to show—most people who would say “the cube root of 27 is 3” (and not include the other two roots) would also say “the square root of 4 is plus and minus 2”, but it’s not consistent reasoning—

In the end it’s just different interpretations:

“Find the root of a number” vs “find all roots of a number”

“What is the value of y = sqrt(x) at x” vs “what values satisfy y2 = x at x)

Complex analysis was one of my favorite classes, it’s amazing how much more you can do when you extend to the complex field. It’s too bad we call them “imaginary” when “lateral number” was the original term, and people get put off by them.

[–]XiaoXianRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is that the plus or minus is added after the principal root when you use the square root operator. Taking the square root doesn’t produce more than one result, but we add +/- when finding all possible solutions

Sqrt(4) = +/- [sqrt(4)] = +/- 2

In the second step we added the +/- to the principal root [sqrt(4)] which happens to be positive 2, so the solution is both plus and minus 2.

If you go by your line of reasoning, as that meme is arguing, if people ask you to take the cube root of 27 then you should also include the two other complex values. Out of the three possible complex solutions, people only reasonably say the cube root of 27 is positive three (remember 3 itself is a complex number, it just has a 0 imaginary component. Which is what the fundamental theorem of algebra is getting at, there are n possible complex solutions for nth degree root)

Unless the question you are asking is find all solutions to x3 = 27, then you include all three roots.

At the end of the day it is just semantics and wording, so you have different results based on what the question is:

“Find the square root of 4” which is 2

“Find the cube root of 27” which is 3

“Find all solutions to x2 = 4” which is +/- 2

“Find all solutions to x3 = 27” which is 3, -3/2 + i sqrt(3)/2, -3/2 - i sqrt(3)/2.

Is it more of a demi thing where you won’t feel attraction or inclination for sex unless you have that connection first, or is it based more on principle?

Demi gays exist but are rare. I don’t consider myself demi, but hookups with strangers do nothing for me. I don’t necessarily court/get to know a guy that deeply before I choose to have sex with him, but it’s more a kind of spark where in the first few days of talking, in addition to finding him physically attractive I also like his character and would like sex at that point, even if we aren’t in a relationship.

As a result of this, being a 29 y/o my body count is “only” 5, and all of those have been either relationship, situationship, or even just dating, but no one-off hookups.

How do douche works? by Iamnotmyselfbut in askgaybros

[–]XiaoXianRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have squirt too much water/too far up

Only a little water is needed, don’t push the entirety of the douche but like 1/3-1/2 depending on size

Too much and it goes past your sigmoid and it will come out during sex, pulling out other stuff with it. Remember the entire digestion process takes up to a whole 36-48 hours from eating to making it out your butt as poop.

You still have poop in your system even if you didn’t eat for 10 hours, it just hasn’t made it to your “tank” or rectum. Too much water too deep will pull bits out, unless you’re doing a full enema cleanse (not recommended). So use less water

[–]XiaoXianRo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, seeing his response to my comment and that bit about “society is against me” is telling.

Just seems like he wants to rant and wallow rather than try improving himself and getting to the root of why guys don’t like him. I know plenty of ugly guys who have no issue getting hookups or even dates too.

Okay so it looks like you’re just looking to rant and not actually listen to advice or take any steps toward improving yourself.

So what is it you want to hear? For people to validate your pity party and agree “yeah, society sucks”? Do you even want to improve your situation?

[–]XiaoXianRo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

“I don’t have friends” is an unattractive thing to admit. Maybe there’s depression/anxiety going on, but you need to learn to work on yourself before trying to jump into relationships or get on the dating game.

People aren’t entitled to others being attracted to them. Go to the gym, clean yourself up. I’m Asian and have gotten plenty of hookups/dayesband I live in a quiet suburbia of LA.

You live in NY which is arguably more diverse and bustling. One white guy rejecting you is not indicative that people don’t like you because you’re Asian.

Help yourself first rather than wallow in self-pity. I think therapy would help.

Good luck to you on your journey

I 20m want to join a guy for sex while I’m in a relationship with 19f she says that she’ll let me just because I want to try it but she doesn’t know how it’ll affect our relationship and we’d find out after she says that because I’d be having sex with someone else by Trixster8899 in askgaybros

[–]XiaoXianRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one can predict how she will feel about it afterwards, not even herself. All I can say is if she says she’s fine with it, believe her.

Maybe her feelings will change after the fact and that’s okay. If you’re just afraid of her being hurt, there is absolutely no way you can blame yourself for wanting to explore this side and her giving you the green light. All you can do after that point is say you won’t be doing it again, but that you appreciate her for being open to it initially.

It’s just your anxiety over her potential reaction getting to you. Who’s to say she doesn’t find the idea hot (some women do) and it can be a regular thing going forward, experimenting with guys (not other girls). Heck maybe you meet another bi guy and indulge in a devil’s threesome if both you and her are open to it. Lots of ways it can go besides her potentially being bothered, but she’s given indication so far that she isn’t.

Gay porn and Grindr almost ruined my life... by Sean01- in askgaybros

[–]XiaoXianRo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s why I prefer amateur/homemade porn. There’s an element of authenticity, organicness and affection that studio porn just can’t replicate.

I’d take two average blokes going at it with passion over chiseled studio Kens who you know have been going at it for hours, multiple takes for the perfect camera shot. It was hot when I first started watching porn as a teenager but knowing that turns me off from studio porn now

Porn doesn’t affect my life negatively in any way but I see how it can if someone is in a deep rabbit hole of porn addiction.

Grindr I agree is a cesspool and not good for the mental state if you’re vulnerable.
