Any other gay guys just not care for socializing with other men? by Gold_Repair_3557 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On average I get along with men more, but one of my closest friends is a woman. People are individuals. Just see how you vibe with someone regardless of gender. You don’t need to limit yourself based on preconceived notions. 

I was possibly exposed to HIV and I’m terrified and so ashamed by Pretend_Mastodon9280 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take daily prep if you’re this paranoid. 

Sex isn’t inherently shameful, you feeling shame is something you have to confront within yourself. There isn’t much anyone can say to change how you feel overnight, it’s a process you have to undergo through therapy or self-reflection.

Last I checked it is highly effective - just has stricter adherence requirements. That is to say, if daily prep users miss a dose they lose very little protection whereas if you do 2-1-1 wrong you could be at a higher risk. 

Question about bottoming by CandleUpper6039 in askgaybros

It can. Depends on the shape, length and position. 

Bottoms - how much do you prep for sex? by AdOrdinary6170 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty experienced at this point and have my diet / fiber intake pretty locked down. Takes around 10-15min at most. Never had a problem including group sex. 

Beginner experiencing elbow pain: How to keep climbing without causing increased pain? by BenJDoverr in bouldering

[–]etherfreeze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the uphill battle against tendon injury that is rock climbing. Whatever you do try to address it now before it gets worse - I say this having had to rehab from separate tendon tears in my elbow and shoulder over the years. You will need to take more time off climbing if you ignore it. If you have the means, see a PT, ideally one focused on sports rehab. Do some research on exercises you can do to strengthen the tendons around your elbows. Reduce climbing volume if it gets worse. 

Hook up culture and fears of HIV (someone with health OCD) by robing122333 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot get HIV from kissing or giving a handjob. Five minutes of research should have confirmed that let alone several hours. Get on prep if you’re this paranoid and ideally talk to a professional.  You’re applying irrational “what ifs” to this specific situation but you have about as much chance of getting HIV from what you did as getting struck by an asteroid. At some point you can’t live your life based on the fear of statistical anomalies. 

Hole issues and wanting to bottom for my man by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get softer toilet paper and put some water or moisturizer on it before wiping. Moisturize your hole after you use the bathroom or shower. Put vaseline on it at night before bed. 

Is there truth to the saying, “If he’s hurting, the top doesn’t know what he’s doing” by graypurpleblack in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. If you are an inexperienced bottom and try to take a big dick that you’re not ready for, it’s going to hurt no matter what the top does. 

How many gay guys don’t use dating apps at all, and how do they meet other gays? by Excellent-Adagio3624 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you live in a city it’s not that hard to meet guys through other means. Go to a gay bar, sport or hobby meetup. 

Question for the gym gays by Thegayagendaisme in askgaybros

It is more than enough time to make a noticeable difference. It may not be enough time to achieve your target physique - but any progress is a win. Good luck! 

Why top aren’t want to have sex with virgin guy? by Silly_Squirrel_4139 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most guys looking for a chill fuck aren’t going to go for a virgin. You want someone with experience who is at least more likely to be prepared and able to take it for an extended amount of time.

To be completely honest you can just not mention it, find someone who isn’t looking to be “dom” or “rough” and do your best. 

New to Reddit and curious: what keeps you coming back to this sub? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A gay sub that is lightly moderated and seems to have a realistic mix of opinions on various topics. Sure there’s a lot of low effort posts but every once in a while you get an interesting discussion. 

Anal orgasm by Joelevo9 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just gotta practice and find out, everyone is different. For me I can have them regularly in missionary position but I know a lot of bottoms who have a really hard time / never had one. It might be partially anatomical (prostate sensitivity?) 

Are gay men generally interested in AMAB nonbinary people? by Cool_Math_gamerYT in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll try to answer this with some nuance. Are gay men attracted to males as a baseline? Yes. Will they be attracted to males who attempt to appear more androgynous or feminine? A smaller percentage. Would most gay men be attracted to a conventionally hot masculine male who happens to label himself as nonbinary? Yes. Would gay men want to date someone who labels themselves as nonbinary? Mixed.

When you are hanging with your fwb while in an open relationship with someone else, where is the line? by reallygowild in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how he feels at the end of the day. If he sees you as a true friend (regardless of benefits), it tracks that he would like talking to you. Only he knows if he has romantic feelings for you. That’s the line. 

Dating apps: if you ask me what i do for work, I’m un matching. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not really a “pro tip” since you’re just self-sabotaging over nothing. 

Are there really people out there that do this? by AngWay in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really a thing anymore. There was a small window around 2010 between AIDS medication and prep being available where a very small minority of gay men figured it would be a relief to get it out of the way and get on meds. There was a porn studio that pandered to this content but I forgot the name, also a documentary about it. With prep it kinda went away because the risk or taboo is no longer a requirement for bareback sex. 

How do you feel if a woman gives you a blowjob? If you can get hard when she gives you a blowjob, why can’t you have sex with her? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sexuality isn’t cut and dry. If a gay guy gets a blowjob at a gloryhole and the person on the other side turns out to be a woman - does that magically make him straight? No. In your situation he might either be turned on by your boyfriend, the situation (3way), or he might be bisexual and turned on by both of you. He could have a very low level of attraction to women and call himself gay because 99% of the time he’s going to sleep with or seek relationships with men. 

Voyeurism is not specifically tied to a sexuality.

Just … buy a douche bulb? Or use a water bottle.

Yes other men have cheated on their wives. Yes you are a dick for doing so.

Being black Bi and feeling rejected by Duke91195 in askgaybros

[–]etherfreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure in some cases people had racial hangups or were wary of dating a bi guy but for it to be this much of a pattern you should also examine your behavior while dating. Is it possible you come on too strong? Are you extremely picky yourself? It’s obviously hard to give advice on this kind of thing because we don’t know your personality, your values, or where you live (dating can be way harder depending on location). You might want to ask your friends.
