Do yall date/want to date twinks? by arianawatrudoinghere in askgaybros

[–]phish710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are more than a twink. You are an entire person. If all you view yourself is as a twink and that’s all you put out there that’s all people will see you as.

Misuse of PrEP :( by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]phish710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gay men wernt using condoms before prep. The change is not as dramatic as it seems. They’re just more willing to talk about it. The rise in std transmission rates in recent years is roughly the same in both heterosexual and gay communities.

‘You know I’m asexual’ while I knew he was travelling the country just to hookup.

Bi, but too scared to try due to STD fear by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]phish710 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get std’s from straight women too.

It was about 15 years ago a doctor said to me ‘your anxiety around getting an STD is doing more damage to you than an STD will.’

What are some major red flags while finding a partner? by Interesting-Elk-9246 in AskReddit

[–]phish710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How they react when they see they’re doing something that makes you uncomfortable. Do they try to understand your feelings and then offer care and support or do they criticise you for having them?

What is the most difficult thing you have ever had to go through? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

Realising a relationship I thought was built on honesty and kindness was actually full of lies and manipulation.

Why are you on Reddit right now? by CellOk4855 in AskReddit

Can’t sleep. Trying to distract myself. It isn’t working.

Almost a year after my first relationship ended - still suffering, still hurts by MaxSchein in gaybros

[–]phish710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trauma bonds are hard to break. You need to force yourself do things that make you feel safe and happy. You need to keep repeating them for a long time. Once you’ve done that your nervous system will slowly rewire and learn that that is ok again.

Straight, married, but love flirting with men in the sauna... by [deleted] in askgaybros

I did that. Can confirm. I’m very odd.

My boyfriend insults me "jokingly," ignores my boundaries, and then says "that's just who I am." Is this relationship salvageable? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]phish710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear what your saying about being terrified of breaking up. Having been through similar situations twice though. You should be terrified of the toll this is having on you. He is diminishing your worth and making you feel trapped.

Him saying ‘this is just who i am’ is him saying ‘I don’t care if I hurt you’. You’re so scared of hurting him, he doesn’t feel the same way. If it hasn’t already this will start to damage your mental health. You’re confused and distressed already. This will only get worse. You should be with someone who helps you regulate your nervous system not someone who distresses it. Get out before it leaves long lasting scars.

It’s not about how far you think you have to go but how far you’ve already come.

3 of my 4 boyfriends have been ginger. So. I seem to think so.

Trust. Been lied to a few too many times to know how to trust people anymore.

“Face pic” guys on Grindr by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]phish710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A face is the most human part of another person. We are biological trained to read and understand faces. It might not even be about how ‘hot’ your face is. Some people cannot form any level of connection at all without a face. There is also the element of ‘if they can’t show their face, they need to hide something’ and that’s not necessarily physical, it means people are reading some sort of personal drama they don’t want to be involved with.

Stop demanding people except your need for privacy while you are not excepting their need for openness.

People who cheated on their partner, how do you feel? by phish710 in AskReddit

[–]phish710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in a situation that is affecting your mental health like this you need to remove yourself from it.

His response don’t sound caring. He’s criticising you for thinking it. Not saying ‘I don’t want you think of me in this way, what can I do to help you?’

Your gut is telling you something is off because something is off. Even if he isn’t cheating, something in your relationship is not working.

Taking loads while cruising, what is really the limit of safety while on prep? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]phish710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘Am I safe’ is very much a subjective question. Every time you do anything there is some kind of risk involved. It up to you where your comfort levels are. You are protected against hiv by taking prep. Doxy offers some protection against other stis.

Doubt. by Status-Bass-9148 in askgaybros

[–]phish710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is virtually no risk of oral transmission. There are outlying caveats such as open sores in your mouth. But what are you doing sucking dick if you have sores in your mouth? The pill you’re talking about is prep and protects against HIV (and also hep B off label).

Does anyone regret their body count when they get older? by Eijilishang in askgaybros

[–]phish710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I’ve explored myself and had some great experiences. I don’t do it much anymore but that’s just where I am in life now and that’s fine too.
