depends. If u are ready for it, YES. if you are not, then it does become a pain!

Sounds like a closeted homophobe to me. Commenting about men's clothes to suggest it is inappropriate for their gender ( too feminine, not masculine enough etc.) is usually homophobic. In my experience, years ago when I used to hit the gym regularly and started getting into shape, a lot of people started acting funny in the gym, and I got harassed to the point where I just stopped going. Looking back, I do think some of it had to do with the fact that I was a man who didn't show interest in women! Yelling at people anywhere especially in a gym is disrespectful. Looks like this women has never learn to respect other people's spaces.

@blackrobe, thank you for being open and honesty about your mental health struggles, and your graciousness in accepting the op's sincere apology. I think different people get turned on by different things. Some guys like sports and watch it all day, some soap operas and TV shows, and some like politics I am a political junkie.; it's a form of pornography for me — the way it plays on me. I can spend hours, arguing, re-arguing, ranting, judging, hating, and rehashing key personally held political beliefs.- Others on this site can testify to that 🙂 . Sometimes especially when I get negative feedback I am aware of how invested I am in my arguments and in proving them right! and the attacks on my arguments or my styles/tenor of argument can feel very personal. Thus, I can see how reading an article could cause you personal distress. Is there any other kind of topic forum that you would like to see on BZ. Like maybe one related to Mental Health of gay men/sexually active gay men or perhaps a gay book club? Also, if you have the time do take a look at my earlier post about Cardinal Henry Newman and how he fought against the homophobes of his times and choose to live with a same-sex partner, a fellow priest, even though being gay was illegal at that time in England. Reading about gay men who heroically lived gay lives has always inspired me, when I struggle with feeling down.

Native Americans would beg to differ. Since the 1600s they have been living under illiberal democracy and a fascist state that laid claim to their lands and gold in the name of democracy but effectively slowly and steadily depriving them or their property and person. What has changed now is that it is not just the "Indian" who is the victim, but the white middle class as well. While we might disagree with wether fascism has arrived or not, or are we in a state of illiberal democracy, as some in the video argued, most will agree that the US seem to be heading toward fascism rather than away from it. This is sad given the collective lessons the world learnt during the Nazi and War Periods.

John Henry Newman was a famous English writer and priest who converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism in the 1890s and was made a saint by Pope Francis back in 2019. He was born 50 years before Oscar Wilde and 80 years ahead of the pioneering lesbian writer, Radclyffe Hall, who was one of the first female writers in English who wrote openly gay stories; and both of who, like Newman, converted to Catholicism. Newman wrote mostly on theological matters unlike the other two who predominantly wrote fiction. What is unusual about Newman's life is that he lived with another priest, Ambrose St, John, since his ordination as a catholic priest for the rest of the 32 years of his life. He called Ambrose, his "earthly light" and on his death wrote, "“I have ever thought no bereavement was equal to that of a husband’s or a wife’s, but I feel it difficult to believe that any can be greater, or anyone’s sorrow greater, than mine. Both men expressed a desire to be buried together. ”Newman who survived Ambrose, took extra care to make sure no one separated them after death, and had himself buried in decomposing soil. Interestingly the Church did exactly what Newman anticipated, and before him being declared a Saint in 2018 had his body exhumed so as to separate his body from Ambrose. Mercifully, the body had decomposed and the Church had to leave empty handed. Given the historical evidences, is it fair to say that John Henry Newman, now St. Newman, had a gay relationship/partnership with his fellow priest, Ambrose ?

The sad and shocking reality of the gay app world. It is sad that Grindr is refusing to support the bereaved partner and his fight for justice for his late partner. Some of the things Grindr can do is to share information about: how many people has this underage profile/person contacted on Grindr? how long have they been on Grindr? have there been any complains against this person/profile? Grindr makes money off gay men and their sexual activities. It is time it protects their interests as well, and from the danger of sextortion i.e. Extortion based on sexual blackmail. Does Grindr even have a policy on sextortion? [think before following links] https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20k1zzr415o

You have been unfair to me in your judgements and have kicked me with a broad sweeping brush. I do think race is one of the most important concept/category in the Western world because of white self identity. However, I have tried not to not fall into the same trap and have only highlighted race wherever I believe it has played a significant role. For e.g., in the murder of Jonathan Joss, he and his partner both had talked multiple times in the past of receiving race based threats along with homophobic taunts and his surviving spouse has stated that race did play a role in the death of Jonathan Joss. Jonathan Joss was native American, btw, and native American people have had to face genocide and annihilation at the hand of the white US State and no wonder, a popular and shocking American Aphorism was is, ' The only Good Indian is a Dead Indian'. Is it too much to allow for race to have played a role in the hostility they faced from their neighbors and his ultimate murder? In the case of Austin Wolf, while his alleged actions are certainly wrong and evil, if true; I still hold that his racial (liberation) views and vocal support for Black Lives Matters especially during the George Floyd incident and his fight with other white gay porn stars over it, is what made the Former Bureau of Investigation go after him and 'investigate' him and in some instances, as it looks to me, have tired to create setups to entrap him. Also, if I am this white race/Caucasian people hating person, why would I argue for Austin Wolf including his right to a fair and decent trial? In this post, I referred to immigrants — who are either often non-white or classified as non-white in the U.S race classification system, and poorer whites as also being victims. Why would you ignore the fact that I only included one racial category, men of color, but two non racial categories: immigrants and poorer white men and one that specifically included white folks, poorer white gay men? If i was obsessed with race and hated white people would I have done that? I do not believe that race is black or white. I think human and social reality is often grey. As far as 'Warning points -"Isn't such a policy racist?", I do remember arguing in a post that the English only policy was racist and that German, Spanish and other guys be allowed to fuck write in their own language, if logistics allow for it. I tried to look up the post but can't find it and I don't remember if i got warning points for it, but I still stand by my statement and I believe we would all benefit from such a policy. Say if you hook up with a German guy, and he says something while he starts fucking you - or when u start mounting him, wouldn't it be nice if u could understand what he is saying as you would have been exposed to some of their language here in the Sex stories or posts, instead of trying to reach out to google translate! I am not offended by your comments and questions and am glad you raised issues that where bothering you. However I would request you to read and consider my response, as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of men of color, immigrants, and poorer gay white men, as well, do not have access to adequate housing and anti-gay discrimination free renting spaces where they can freely hook up, invite sex partners, or host sex parties. Phone apps like Grindr and Sniffles are great to meet people, but u can't have sex on them! You need a physical space for people to have sex!! A lot of gay men are suffering from poverty issues because of social homophobia and often don't have a choice but to have sex in public spaces. I would not condemn them as I believe they are a sign of visible homosexuality. Straight sexuality is visible in many ways in our society and gay visibility occurs in a different way than heterosexuality since homosexuality is different than straightness. It is time that the authorities that be, focus on who killed Charlie kirk, prevent hate crimes such as the deaths of Jonathan Joss, George Floyd. etc. and the countless hate crime against Transgender individuals in America, instead of targeting men who are having a good time.

He might not realize it but I am pretty sure it is illegal to share any sexual material/information with a minor, in the United States, even if it is your own kid. So, as a father I can't go and give my daughter pornographic videos as a gift or "educational video", and definitely not so until she is a minor as that would be clearly illegal. Doing so would be highly inappropriate behavior and technically a sexual assault and sexual harassment with the legal authorities having the right to intervene and even prosecute harshly. Mr. Johnson sharing his sexual proclivities with his son definitely falls within the purview of child abuse. As a well off speaker, who owns a house and would have the resources to pay for a therapist, and I am assuming he has one, and since his wife ran some kind of Christian counselling business — his sharing of sexual material about himself with his son is really questionable. Also, I would add what would really be the crucial factor in defining if this is sexual abuse or not would be the kind of material he was/is addicted to. So, did Covenant Eye ever trigger a warning for homosexual, family incest, or illegal such as young/twink pornography and send it to his son? Any of these categories would definitely indicate that Mr. Johnson shared inappropriate sexual material with his underage son. Now this would be something the Former Bureau of Investigation should have looked into but I guess, they are selective in who they choose to investigate. A big name gay star like Austin Wolf is definitely someone they want to investigate but a republican politician, I guess gets a pass on such things.

Just to clarify, ancient India did not encourage homosexuality or any kind of sexuality for that matter. However, Ancient Greece and Rome definitely did, and so did Afghanistan given the Greek influence through Alexander the Great. To this day, inspite of Islam, the practice of Men especially warriors/war lords having sex with willing boys is considered acceptable and part of tradition in Afghan society.

What you probably mean is Consensual 'Rough/forceful perhaps even violent 'sex. Like you want your lover Dom lover to beat you up, slap u, punish you etc. If you consented to these things it can no longer be rape or abuse, as you consented to it. You cannot consent and not consent to something at the same time.. For e.g. you cannot have bareback and condom sex at the same time. Your lover either wears a condom or barebacks, but cannot do both at the same time! Ergo, "CNC" or "fantasy rape" does not exist in the real world. It is an interesting concept like Time Travel; but doesn't exist int our present world, as it exists. Words have meaning. If you want to call your walk around the neighborhood block, a preparation for the next Olympics, Marathon or Sprint, by all means do so but don't expect anyone to affirm your statement as true or believe you. I concur fully.

i think what you want is "rough sex". Rape is inherently non consensual, like say a woman wants to have sex with you and you don't want it!

As gay men the sheer bliss of butt fucking brings to our consciousness that we are doing what we are meant to do in life and affirms our sexuality. Just as straight men will say ( or write) that they looked at their wife in the eye and knew she was the one, as a gay man during butt fucking I feel like I am finally a complete person. Being gay often sets us apart - especially those of us who grew up in homophobic situations; and we often, I know I do, have doubts about what is right when it comes to sex. The bliss I feel during gay sex affirms to me, that this is the only way I was meant to have sex. I am a vers bottom and tend to cling to my top. I do feel like he is my man, though I don't feel like a woman necessarily. I feel like my top is an evolved man and I am in some kind kind of evolved female space/energy in my body when I get fucked.

President Obama's letter written in 1982, when he was 21 yrs old to his gf Alex McNear daughter of a playboy editor¹ and someone who worked for playboy herself: "In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination.” “My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men,” he added. “But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency.”² ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ¹ [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12404217/alex-mcnear-barack-obama-gay-fantasies.html ² [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/love-sex/obama-gay-love-letter-men-b2406683.html
