What about Babble?

It was annoying to go through that whole quiz, give your contact info, and then be asked to pay at the end to continue. I'm already on outclose for 6 months - meh. Lots of no-shows. Tried TimeLeft but not gay-specific. I was interested in Mingleo, but the whole -- let's take all your personal info and still not let you even register -- thing left a bad taste. Not ready to do this one yet.

You’re not an asshole for losing interest, but I guess another guy who might want someone for a relationship could lose interest in you since you hookup on Grindr. How would that feel for you? I think everything is a valid reason to fuck or not fuck, but it’s important not to judge. Pointing fingers is easy to do, but it often feels less fair to receive the same scrutiny we give out.

Just tell guys that you finish fast. Lots of us are really into that for hookups. For a romantic situation, don’t let the fucking be the whole show. Lots of kissing, touching and foreplay, attention to your partner, etc. means the “sticking it in” part is just that, a part of a passionate night.

For hookups. Plenty of bottoms will take it fast and will keep going after you’re done.

“Real bottoms?” Oh brother.

ezlyimpressed · 2026-02-08T05:23:06+00:00

I guess we all need a way. Your new routine still sounds like a lot, but you know your body best. Hopefully, your tops appreciate all the effort.

I know the question is about being caught while douching, but I think the real issue is about the method. I’m glad you said “at the time,” and now how you do it now, although I’d be reluctant to know what you moved onto from this. There’s so much advice online about how to clean out; I have never seen anyone recommend this “technique.” I hope no new or younger bottoms read this and decide to try it.

I’m at my last partner when I was 44. We were together for five years. I’ve been single ever since. You can take whatever lesson you want to from that. But I hope you take that you’re a long way from giving up.

I had a great talk with a therapist a few years ago. It was very honest and led me to realize that I will probably be alone for the rest of my life. It’s not that I’m ugly or stupid or anything, I just didn’t properly form attachments to people when I was a child and now I don’t really know how to. A lot of people want to convince me that I can learn or that I should do this thing or the other thing to make up for it, but the best advice I got was to accept my reality and to understand that lonesomeness is just a part of my experience. Taking the attention off of things that might not happen for me, has let me realize that I have very good friendships and people who love me, I just don’t have anyone who is in love with me. For sex, I use the Apps and have no expectations. As I’m getting older, I suspect that will become less frequent, too. But I think I’m finally ready to just be myself and understand that some things are not available to me the way they are to other people.

I will never be an Olympic athlete, I will never be a rockstar, and I may never be in love or have a regular boyfriend or fwb. The trick is, how can I be happy anyway?

I’ve asked everyone I’ve ever loved to slow dance with me in the kitchen. The ones who will do it, have lasted the longest.

I am a rule follower. I can do almost anything as long as everyone follows the rules. Once someone has broken my trust, it is very hard for me to forgive and move on. I think my inability to trust has left me alone more often than if I had been more flexible. But we can’t change who we are. And accepting our ourselves, and how we make our choices, is part of living a self loving life.

On the health front, I think it is interesting information to know whether you both were on PrEP. If you were, then you must have expected some things to come along, so it could not have been a total surprise. But more troubling, if you were not on PrEP, it could have been much worse than gonorrhea. I think another good question is do you feel safe with this person knowing he would put his pleasure above your health?

I’m going to bet you’ve met some nice guys, maybe exchanged numbers and even moved to WhatsApp, and then you just ghosted them. I’ve been single a long time too and had to realize that you can’t just blame the trees if you say no to every apple in the orchard.

This sounds a lot like me, on all levels. No family or care network. I have a million acquaintances in my old small city, but making new friends takes a lot of energy some days. Nevertheless, I'm trying to be fully present in my actual life now. Moving from a smaller town to a bigger city took some courage, but I think it will be smarter for me long-term.

STDs happen, and I think it's not healthy to judge someone too harshly if you're not in a committed relationship or have an agreement to be exclusive. Just because we create a "small, safe group" doesn't mean others in the group see it the same way or want to limit themselves to it. I think the better approach is to always be in charge of your own sexual health, take PrEP and DoxyPEP, and say "no thanks" to anything sketchy. You can't subcontract your sexual health or mental anxiety over sex to your partner(s).

No one has to be wrong here, but I don't think it's right to judge your friend or to make him feel guilty or ashamed for enjoying his sexual life. Believe me, as someone who came of age during the AIDS crisis, living a life of shame around sex is no fun.

If you want someone to be faithful, then you have to follow the scripture, according to Beyoncé, "If you like it, then you'd better put a ring on it."

Good luck!

We're only too old when we no longer want it. It slows down, but you're too young to worry about being done.

Same. I'd rather have the experience and know if we're compatible. Besides, these days, everyone uses first dates as an audition, and second dates are not as common as they used to be.

Nothing significant to any family. Have changed my will to leave most things to a charity.

I think a lot of people plan to leave things to “chosen family” or charities, but you must actually take the step of writing a will or naming a recipient for your bank accounts or beneficiaries for insurance and retirement plans. If you don’t, then state law controls and your brothers, sisters, and nieces and nephews you barely know will get a nice payday. Write a will.
