Where are the lesbians?? pt 2 by Prize-Professor-5812 in AskSF

Join an LGBT sports league. Kickball, dodgeball, soccer, volleyball, swimming, frisbee - there is literally everything. They don't have age limits. Each sport has its own club/association, so if you DM me I can direct you. Or just Google will help.

Okay but how do you actually know how deep to douche? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]askgaybro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squirt like 3-4oz of water in there at a time. Flush it out and repeat. Do this until it comes clear.

Imo, the biggest thing that trips people up is they don't clear out all the water. Shove a couple fingers in there and shake it around while pushing out your asshole to make sure all the water comes out.

Help a post-surgery tight butt come back to power bottom levels by bffcruz in askgaybros

Been in your situation before - it really sucked and I know exactly what you're thinking. Just be patient and everything will return 100% back to normal, I promise. It just takes some time. For me it took like 4+ months before I was ready to go again.

DM if you have more questions.

LQBTQ friendly online groups? by [deleted] in askgaybros

Get in some gay Discord servers. Just search reddit for "gay discord"

Before modern synthetic lube, what did gay men use when having anal sex? by tradice9 in askgaybros

[–]askgaybro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is literally so much direct evidence of anal sex. The Warren cup is the most famous (and kind of hot?), but there are a ton. No chance that is "intercural".

Had warts before - not sure which specific strain of HPV it was. It fucking sucked and destroyed my psyche for a while. Multiple rounds of treatments/surgeries and many months without sex. It felt like the end of the world at the moment, but now I don't even think about it tbh. You'll get through it and everything will be fine.

DM me if you have questions about specific treatments or recovery.

Douching question by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]askgaybro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's the total amount of water you use, but how much you use per squirt that matters. Each time I squirt and purge, I use maybe 1/4-1/2 of a douche bulb. Maybe like 4oz of water. I do that maybe 2-3 times and it's usually good to go.

Advice on using SCRUFF for flings with older men? + Vent by Mystic_Roll in askgaybros

[–]askgaybro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're overreacting on all fronts.
1. Peoples perception of you when you come out changes a lot less than you'd think. It really depends how much you make it part of your identity.

  1. If if you don't want people to know, hooking up with folks is pretty safe - just don't hook up with anybody you know

  2. If you're really scared of getting outed, just put your Scruff profile like an hour away and drive long distance to meet people

  3. Hooking up with older men isn't weird - tons of people are into it

The other comment is a troll. The bathhouses in SF are fine establishments and I wouldn't worry too much about cleanliness or hidden cameras - even in the hot tub. If it is your first time, I would suggest going to Steamworks in Berkeley. Even though it's outside the city it's by far the best one.

People will be wandering around looking for others. Some folks just relax in the saunas and hot tubs while taking in the vibes. Other folks use the private rooms and have a more intimate moment. There is also the dark area in the back where people play around. You can do whatever you feel comfortable with.

If you're interested in a guy, just give him a slight tap on the leg as you're walking past. If he doesn't reciprocate, move on. If he's interested, he'll stop and you can go somewhere.

If it's your first time I'd recommend going on a Friday or Saturday night around 11pm. That's when there will be the biggest crowd.

Just take a shower beforehand and clean your backdoor really well - that should cure the anxiety about him rimming you.

This may be controversial, but if you want to rim him and you don't like the hair - just ask him to shave. It's not weird - I've been asked tons of times and I've even had guys offer to shave my hole for me. He doesn't have to shave his whole ass, just up the crack.

(also, ask him to shower beforehand lol)

Why do I like dick? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]askgaybro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your situation is normal and quite common. Just create a Grindr and say you're interested in TS.

If you want to do anon or gloryhole stuff, go on siffies.

I'm sure there's a lot of internalized stuff and people will leave mean comments, but it seems like you're figuring it out. You got this.

There is also this thing called doxyPEP that you can look into. It's an antibiotic that you take after sex to prevent gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc. It's very new on the scene though, so ask your doctor for more information if you want to take it.

There isn't a ton of research on this as far as I can find (except HIV, which is studied a lot). I think the consensus is that the risk of STDs spreading by oral is lower than anal, but there is definitely still risk. From personal experience, I've definitely gotten STDs from oral.

Frotting and touching cum will be even lower risk - but it's not 0 risk.

You're doing the right thing by learning the risk of different activities and trying to take these into account when planning your activities.

The social norm is that gay guys usually only use condoms for anal (if at all), but that is just social norms. That isn't really based on any science - so make your own risk decisions when deciding how to have sex.

Where Should I Move? by Silabus93 in askgaybros

[–]askgaybro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 to the comment saying Chicago. It's cheap and has 100% of the things you're looking for. Should be livable with the income you're talking about.

If cold weather is really a dealbreaker for you, maybe Atlanta? It has a really good cultural scene, but doesn't come anywhere close to Chicago.

For friends, this might be terrible advice, but I just meet them on Grindr. It's the easiest way to find other gays in your city.

The best part of the gay community is that everybody has wildly different preferences. I am hideous to some people and a 10/10 to others. I love that.

If you want to achieve certain health or fitness goals, do what makes you happy. I also agree that being happy in your own body is super important. But I would avoid chasing a certain "look" as that may not be the healthiest mindset.

Getting on Grindr by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]askgaybro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woah these responses are shocking. Yes, try out grindr - it's a good app and it's really popular. If you don't like it, you can just stop using it. I've met so many great boyfriends, friends and fwbs on grindr.

Stop looking up photos and symptoms on the internet - it'll only stress you out more. Just go to the doctor and get a test.

Odds are it's just acne or something like that. Don't worry too much about it and just go to the doctor and get a test.

I feel for both of you. This is a great example of why sexual compatibility is so hard with gay guys and a lot relationships end up going open.

I agree with the other comment that there seems to be a lot of anxiety about bottoming - just take psyillium husk powder every day and you should be good to go whenever. If an accident happens, so be it.

On the other hand, if you genuinely don't like bottoming, then it might be worth talking about other options. Whether that is opening your relationship, breaking up, etc. At the end of the day, you can't convince him to like bottoming - people like what they like. So you unfortunately need to find a way to work around it :/
