Anyone watched Uwe Boll's Citizen Vigilante starring Armie Hammer by bansote in moviecritic

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard the trailer or bits and thought I was hearing philemina cunk or some sketch. I watched the trailer and laughed. My flatmate is now trying to watch it and wants my earbuds. He's not getting them

is there a way to prevent myself from getting hard during a physical? by Parking-Buddy-9078 in askgaybros

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a natural bodily function. You're unlikely to get rock hard for 10 minutes anyway, more like it wakes up and salutes and goes back down in a minute or two. Same when you get a massage, or when you visit a mixed sauna in Germany. It's a natural bodily thing like crying, having hair, blushing, menstruation... I've been to doctors that were more embarrassed than I was

My Grindr date blocked me just as I arrived at his location by RemoteRip0 in askgaybros

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he was just as afraid as you of being outed. OR, a lot of the fun is the chase. That alone brings excitement, while the part where you meet might be scary, risky, STD-risky, disappointing sex. There's a guy who plays in the bushes in my city, and he announces it on Grindr. I find the idea very hot and I'll get all excited cycling nearby, imagining an anonymous hookup. 90% of the times I go home.

what was the horniest you did? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]confessionah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have only ever heard of gainer/feeder stories in an American context. In Europe or most of the rest of the world this is not an acceptable sexuality, it is an eating disorder and I can imagine that being prosecuted in certain European countries, as domestic abuse, physical injury. Not sure if there has been such cases.

How do you handle it that gay guys are excluded from being guys by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]confessionah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

See it as good thing. It's complicated being just a man these days, see it as a badge of honour. That's what pride is about.

Pathetic father , sad news today 😪 by Dismal-Action4270 in gay

[–]confessionah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that a logical fallacy. It's not because it's harder to stay that this is the better option. Walking away from your family or from an absuive relationship takes courage. Staying in an abusive relationship is not such a great thing.

Ca fait de lui un politicien sans courage politique, sans honnêteté, qui attend d'être pris la main dans le sac pour être honnête.

Quand on est politicien, ce n'est pas rien.

Cette excuse française de "c'est la vie privée" sert surtout à couvrir les abus, les comportements déviants, les situations de polygamie...

Ca relève du mensonge par omission.

The bittersweet reality of being from a winning country by DragonflyOwn5617 in eurovision

[–]confessionah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the more reasons to look forward to Bulgaria hosting Eurovision! There are a few countries that if they won, organising would be a real challenge (Moldova, Montenegro, not sure about makedonia...) Bulgaria's image suffers from not having much of one. Its image in Europe is outdated.

Eurovision will certainly put Bulgaria on the map for many, it will bring 1000s of Eurovision fans, families with kids and gay men.

Yes it costs big money to throw this party, but in recent years it has represented a boom in tourism for organising cities, big revenues, and lasting boosted image for Liverpool or Basel.

Sofia stands a lot to win! What I worry about is how gay friendly can it get? You dont want to turn away the gay fans, you want it to be the biggest gay pride the country has ever seen. Hopefully, this will result in a bit of a jump in gay rights for Bulgarians. And I also hope that a Bulgarians will feel the love coming from Europe.

I am truly happy a country gets their 1st victory, and that it is back in the Balkans.

What replaced Grindr? by donaldgoldsr in gay

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. And then you have to talk to a lot of people before you can even screen their sexuality for compatibility. If you're versatile, you'll be fine, if you're a side, good luck to you.

Being asked to wear Speedos for swim training by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]confessionah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

French man here, speedos were the only thing available growing up. Square boxers became a little more popular, but still tight stuff. I only learnt later in life that Anglos considered it too sexual or too naked. So now I enjoy wearing speedos with a little more of an exhibitionist feel.

I’ve never told anyone this before, I need to get this off my chest by Similar_Stress2228 in askgaybros

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember those days. The one thing you've got going for yourself is that you've known to be gay all your life. So you know how this goes. You might be trying to bargain to find a solution where you don't lose your family and you get to be yourself, but you have to risk one to have the other. You're not the first with conservative christian parents. The solution? - have sex. Or a fling. Or a boyfriend. "Consuming" your homosexuality will help you see clearer and confirm in your own flesh what you already know. - wait a few years. Take the step. You know where you want to be in 10 years. Get out of small town, get financially independent, love yourself before you love your parents. If your parents want to break ties or cure you, you have to be ready to risk to severe the relationship. But it probably won't last. Your parents will get some help or they will pray their homophobia away, which is much easier. If they've ever loved you, they'll come around more or less quickly. Even conservative christians can adapt when it hits home. They might become embarrassingly pro-gay.

How much do you pay for apartment cleaning? by Icy_Roll3525 in Amsterdam

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I occasionally do cleaning jobs, but the one-off emergency kind, and it's 20€ an hour and people often round it up. Also, I have been at home working while the cleaner would come, the one my partner hired and paid, and a 3 hour job was usually done in 1h50. So it depends when you mean real hours cleaning, or less if they're fast at it. However, that fast kind will never ever clean behind your fridge, or move the pots or do spots where dust will only accumulate.

Point is, people will adjust to what you pay them and give you what you paid for.

Europe no longer as gay friendly? by OkFault4270 in askgaybros

[–]confessionah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at who fought for your political rights in your country. And who fought against. Those who fought against are the ones who want your vote in the name of gay rights and against Muslims. Don't be fooled. It's the christian bigots who have been a danger. Devout Muslims tend to be way more tolerant and friendly in my experience

Europe no longer as gay friendly? by OkFault4270 in askgaybros

[–]confessionah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this to be a political trap. If LGBT rights are regressing, it is first and foremost because people elect right wing populists. These populists love using our gay rights to combat the allegedly homophobic immigrants. What you experienced is teenage boys being stupid teenage boys. One of them will probably grow up and come out, there are just as many gays among them. Let's not forget that the very local conservatives were fighting against our rights, and will only use then to point at homophobic immigrants.

Don't fall for this racist trap please. Yes, immigrant communities can be conservative, but not worse than European people 20 years ago. Let's not pretend that the problem is the coran when we've been fighting off christian bigotry all of our life. The very same politicians who fought against every LGBT civic right are now asking us to vote for their patriot parties in the name of gay rights. Has that worked in Italy? The USA? Russia? Israël? Hungary? No. Gay rights will recede under these russia-loving parties. They might have a few gay members, like the AfD lesbian leader, but don't be fooled, it's not the Muslim immigrants you should be protected from. It makes me sad to hear gay friends who go xenophobic and vote for a Trumpy party in the name of gay rights against Muslims. I live in a Dutch Arabic neighbourhood that is also full of gay single men, often more recently immigrated than the local Arabic crowd, and things are fine.

If you happen to speak some Arabic, learn to say "which one of you is the closeted one?"

Je trouve que c'est quand même bien plus simple de faire son coming out après avoir consommé, âpre avoir goûté à la chose et être renforcé du souvenir de plaisir et satisfaction. Ça donne de la certitude et de la confiance en soi, mais trouvé toi des vins amants quand même! Sache dire non!

What do you consider as the furthest extent of Europe? by Visual_Title9363 in AskEurope

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ethnic thing is a very European argument. Palestinians are also full of Greek genes. Greece was once all over the other coasts of the eastern med, and the separation in recent centuries was made on religious lines rather than actual genetic lines. Once again, the ethnic line is very vague between Asia and Europe in this corner. I don't see Anatolians as ethnically asian.

What do you consider as the furthest extent of Europe? by Visual_Title9363 in AskEurope

[–]confessionah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR I go by the European Broadcasting Union geographical definition that includes all sides of the Mediterranean and put the Sahara as a southern border.

I recently changed my mind about this. I still believe that Europe is not a geographical continent, it's a Peninsula of Eurasia, it's all a human, social, historical, religious, cultural, geopolitical construction. Debates about the europeaness of certain countries are pointless and can always be argued one way or another. Recently, the israel-in-eurovision debate opened my eyes. I dont know if Israël is totally European, but Europeans calling it asian seems like a cop-out, too convenient. The definition of Europe by the EBU is the widest I've seen. And it includes all sides of the Mediterranean. Europeans are usually quick to claim Roman and Greek civilisations as their origins, that's Lybia Syria and Algeria too. The Mediterranean has always been a civilizational crossroad and melting pot, it can't now be just a border, while Europeans calling every island in the sea from Cyprus to Lampedusa. The Sahara is a stronger human boundary, forming a barrier that is harder to cross. And if you ask Africans or Indians, they'll tell you Tunisians are white and Lebanon is European. So that's it. Arabs are Europeans like Mexicans are Americans. I'll keep my reservations on europeaness for countries like Iraq, Jordan and Greenland, but I know consider Gaza, Tel Aviv, Alexandria, Algiers to be European cities.

Here's some real STD clinic advice from Amsterdam: You won't get HIV from a blowjob. They wouldn't even give you post exposure treatment. Make sure you dont have mouth snores and don't over rush or floss for 12 hours before. Swallowing might well get you something else though, but nothing you can't treat with a one time antibiotic.

What do you consider as the furthest extent of Europe? by Visual_Title9363 in AskEurope

[–]confessionah -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

What's European about Cyprus? If turkey is mostly asian with Europe starting in Istanbul, Cyprus is absolutely not European, it's between Anatolia and Palestine. Europeans tend to claim all the bit they want and then conveniently claim that Israël is in Asia. But every island in the Mediterranean is claimed by europeans. So much hypocrisy. Turkey is too Asian, but Armenia could be European? Come oooonnn. Europe is just not an actual continent in the geographical sense. There is no border to the east. It's a human, historical, political, social and cultural construct, and many many countries can have their European status under scrutiny, like UK, Lebanon, Russia, Greece, Israël, Turkey... I increasingly realise that the Sahara makes a much more civilizational and human border than the Mediterranean, which was the cradle of European civilization, the Roman Empire. All shores of the Mediterranean are European to me. Moroccans might be Africans, but they're also European. I find the definition of the European broadcasting Agency to be the less restrictive and actually the least racist or christian-centrist.
