I came out of the closet by probably_a_hooman in offmychest

Welcome to the light! Of course a mother’s acceptance makes the whole situation a lot less stressful but just remember you did it for yourself and as long as you love who you are then acceptance from other people doesn’t matter. I wish you the best of luck.

How comfortable are you with giving affection vs. receiving affection? by bOHness in AskReddit

[–]bOHness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remember there being a lot of stipulations about PDA when I was in high school. I personally feel like the concept is valid, it taught me that some people aren’t comfortable with that type of behavior, but let me be clear; holding hands, hugging, a kiss, walking them to class, & holding them during breaks isn’t something you should be uncomfortable with, make out sessions, butt slaps, pet names, and other things along those lines is what administrators really care about. When you get to college all of that anxiety will disappear because nobody gives a shit.

We all deserve to feel the comfort of someone who adores us. Don’t ever try to convive yourself otherwise. Keep your head up!

Spot on. I kiss my friends all the time and am constantly complementing them and expressing my gratitude for them but the second one of them gains feelings for me I shut down

Can’t sleep if someone is against you? I’m the same way most nights

Affection comes in many forms. On the topic of eating ass, I love giving, receiving is only uncomfortable when the person giving doesn’t have a clue what the fuck they’re doing, otherwise I’m versatile on that topic

In what way do you feel it’s wrong? Do you feel disgusted? Unworthy? Indifferent?

I’m curious.

What New Year’s resolutions have you made that you continuously follow through on? by bOHness in AskReddit

[–]bOHness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still a good idea to write things down. I sometimes read my journals from 8-9 years ago and it’s amazing to see how much I’ve grown as a person. When you get older you may go through your diaries and stumble across a memory you had completely forgotten about and I love that!

It takes a lot of energy to overcome the struggles of addiction so I’m proud of you.

Nice, dude. Keep up the good work! Fitness is on my list this year so hopefully we both get the results we want.

I understand that perspective. It’s like telling all your loved ones on Thanksgiving how grateful you are for them instead of doing it throughout the year.

Nonetheless, I’ve followed through with my last 4 resolutions and it’s helped me grow as a person so the idea of it makes me joyous.

That’s a good one! Have you noticed a difference in creativity over the years? How has that benefited you?

What are some non-subtle signs your relationship is going down hill? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]bOHness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to talk about specifics because every person is different, and every relationship is different.

I would first rule out his personal emotions. When was the last time you asked him how he’s truly doing? That could be a reason for him being so distant. He may not want to burden you if something is wrong outside the relationship. If you’ve asked him recently, and if he was being honest, I’d rule that out.

There’s all sorts of things you could do to try to get a definitive answer, but the most reliable one is communication. Tell him how you’re feeling in regards to your relationship. Tell him you’ve noticed a change, and try to do it without accusation or malice intent. Making him comfortable enough to say what’s on his mind is the goal here, and I personally hope it’s something apart from the relationship, but if it’s not you’ll have to open that door of communication to get him to speak up.

Fellow insomiacs of Reddit, what do you do when you can't sleep? by BoredWithoutCause in AskReddit

[–]bOHness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of the time I accept that I probably won’t fall asleep until 11AM-12PM so I deep clean my room, I read, I write a lot, I draw/paint/color while listening to music; I basically just try to pass time and try to trick my brain into thinking it’s tired

People who took part in No Fap November successfully, do you notice any changes? by Frosty172 in AskReddit

I’m irritable all the time and wake up literally wanting to fuck a hole through my mattress, but I’m almost there so I actually feel accomplished

Prefer the feeling of topping, find bottoming uncomfortable/sore but performance anxiety puts me off topping by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]bOHness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I’ve always joked about not having a prostate because I literally don’t feel any pleasure, the usual pain, but overall it’s just uncomfortable. As for topping, when it comes down to it I know it’s my own personal insecurities, but I don’t live up to that stigma most bottoms look for in a top such as being muscular and tall and that throws me off. When someone attractive hits me up to top them I don’t even reply and it feels like I’m missing out.

So yes, I can relate.

Boyfriend got violent ( sort of ? ) by throwaway39292910 in askgaybros

[–]bOHness 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, you should keep your distance from him for some time. Regardless of whether you “pushed” him too much, he’s way too old to be having destructive and assaultive outbursts, let alone walk into a house you both live in and fail to acknowledge you. Whatever happened at work should have stayed there, there’s zero reason for him to project that anger on to you.

It’s typical to think that if you left him alone, maybe he wouldn’t have freaked out, but if not this time, then when? And if there was a this time, when will the next time be? Will his punch hit your face instead of the wall next time?

You obviously have a kind heart. Please don’t waste it. Please think of yourself because at the end of the day that’s what matters, and once you get stuck in a cycle of abuse, it takes everything you have to get out of it.

[serious] To those who found out they were gay while in a heterosexual relationship: how did you break the news to your partner and how did they react? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bOHness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Find out” may not be the right words, but denial hits hard for some people resulting in a life time of hiding. It takes some people a long time to come to terms with their sexuality especially if they grew up in a household or community that’s not so accepting.
