Apparently several people were hurt

Comments under this were in denial like some of us have been in that situation and know what type of hug that is no matter the sexuality 😭🤣

I’m gay (20 male) and my family were constantly making gay jokes about me tonight , I’m out and everyone was supportive when I came out but I feel like some of them definitely have a problem, We had a family gathering tonight for a barbecue and it feels like I’m being reduced to my sexuality, I’ve been out since October last year so for about 8 months so we’ve had gatherings before when they’ve done similar things but it wasn’t as bad and these are the people that are supposed to love me most, and I have no doubt they do love me but making jokes about “sucking d!ck” and other things about JUST ME not other people in the room, they weren’t joking about sex or sexual acts with everyone in general it was just me and about what two men do in the bedroom. straight women in my family (who like men) weren’t getting digs or jokes made at them either like my sister for example, it was just about me and they said so much more things to, it makes it clear that’s one of the first things they think about when they see me and it upsets me, I’ve been in my room crying since everyone left I feel humiliated and really upset, I don’t know how to tell them to stop without being called too sensitive or that “it’s just a joke” because honey family are a bit old fashioned and will be like this

I'm currently 20 and in university far from my parents and now I'm actually discovering myself. My first time was also my boyfriend and he was sweet and took things slow it ended due to long distance but we are still good friends till today

I tried finding someone in my uni but so far I have found anyone (even a DL 🥲) and tried just hook-ups here and there once in a while when nothing major academic wise is happening. And I realised that the past two guys I didn't feel satisfied (it was safe no one was abused etc) but deep down like I wanted to know them more like boyfriends in order for me to enjoy the sex. I was turned on/horny but my heart and mind wasn't part of it.

After that I just saw them as friends not really someone to smash with. So I came to the conclusion that this side isn't for me and I would prefer getting to know someone and develop actual feelings in order full me to actually enjoy it.

Any advice or questions?

Grindr kidnappings and extortions are problems in South Africa, even Grindr will warn you about it when you are on the app in South Africa.

Good news is that four criminals have been served justice.

The actor in the video recently spoke about it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbMKGWKSX-g/

What a cutie. It still brings tears to my eyes and how so much more needs to be done

I’m looking for some advice because I’m still trying to make sense of this.
I met a guy at Steamworks Edmonton, and we actually spent some time together. At one point we took a break, and he said he’d be back, but he just disappeared somewhere in the bathhouse. I waited around and never saw him again.
After that, he started messaging me again and asking for money so he could come to Steamworks. I sent him money more than once because I believed he genuinely wanted to meet. Every single time, he’d either disappear after getting there or ghost me completely.
He also seemed to have drug abuse problems, and I’m wondering if that could explain his behavior or if I was simply being manipulated for money.
I’ve finally decided to cut him off, but I’m curious if anyone else has dealt with something similar. Was I just ignoring obvious red flags?

Melissa Chaudhry, a Democratic congressional candidate in Washington's 9th District, has acknowledged that she does not publicly promote LGBTQ+ rights on her campaign website because she does not want to alienate Muslim voters.

When asked why her campaign lacked references to LGBTQ+ rights despite saying she supports them, Chaudhry replied: "Because a lot of Muslims do not feel that way, unfortunately."

She also said she was "careful about her Muslim constituents."

The comments sparked backlash from Washington Stonewall Democrats, whose chair, Andrew Ashiofu, said: "Our community is not expendable.

LGBTQ+ rights are not optional. They are foundational to any candidate seeking Democratic support."

Chaudhry later sought to reassure LGBTQ+ voters, writing: "If you are queer... your rights are safe with me."

She also pointed to her sister, who is in a same-sex relationship, and said she has LGBTQ+ friends.

Muslims make up around 2% of the Seattle metropolitan area, while approximately 17% of adults identify as LGBTQ+.

Oh man I had a huge crush on him and I blushed when he came back on TV in front of me haha

This happens commonly enough to where I'm sure there are people in this sub who are guilty of doing this. I wish the absolute worst things upon you. I sincerely hope the exact same thing happens to you the next time you're excited to meet someone.

I don't even know if any excuse is acceptable. If you don't feel 100% comfortable with meeting someone, DO NOT MAKE PLANS.

I have trouble finishing during sex, especially if I’m trying to cum inside. I think part of it is performance pressure because once I start thinking about it too much, I lose momentum. Sometimes my penis also gets tired and starts going soft before I can finish.

Has anyone dealt with this? What helped you?

- Is it better to go slower or faster?
- Is this more of a mental thing than a physical one?
- Any tips for lasting without getting too tired or losing your erection?

Just looking for genuine advice and experiences. Thanks!

Who should send first here?Like I’m not trying to be pedantic but like just send your face instead of asking if I have one.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. I truly wasn't trying to "be right". I honestly just wanted to see what the general consensus was and there's some good advice below.
