It's just too scary, and it would hurt a lot. I don't see any upside.

Ehhh from what I gather if there is enough lube, finger play and take things slow before ramping up the speed it shouldn't hurt too much and from what I can tell its pleasing. Also dont believe on porn overacting of pain or pleasure and the gigantic dicks.

Just buy a dildo, people. It's not that bad at the beginning and then it's great.

Can you make a video tutorial to educate the people in the thread?
Maybe a Dildo 101 thread in Off Topic.

Fired up Grindr in Lansing. Saw a cute guy that I was gonna message but he has a PIMPLE so I blocked him just to be safe.

for a fun free android game check out 'dig out'. its like spelunky but not shit

Blink twice if they are paying you to advertise it. That reminds me that there is a game tons of youtubers are plugging lately and their acting of knowing the game is terrible.

Lmao anyway I think I'm gonna try to stop #masturbating. I feel like I might have desensitized my dick a bit too much. Time for a recharge.

You know what? Same. I'm aiming for 2 days

That's what we all say lol but rarely stick with. Though I have been abstaining since I've been house sitting at my bro's. It would be just weird beating off at my brother's home.

I mean that wouldn't stop me. As much as I've jerked off in my parent's house with my family in literally the next room it just doesn't bother me. Take a shower and make it like an extra 3 to 50 minutes depending on how long you like to go at it.

I need to jerk off on a daily basis. I'm pretty sure it's impossible for me to abstain because I'll think about Chris Pratt or that guy I know Tyler who's lanky and awkward but I'm attracted to that somehow and somehow my hands go into auto mode.

Also, unrelated, I'm finding that my Irish blood has been demanding more alcohol lately. Between the stressors at work and having two of my plans for the weekend cancel on me (which also accounts for why I started talking in this thread: I NEED ATTENTION OH GOSH), and given that I'm a very happy drunk, I've been using quite a bit of alcohol. I think I'm down 2-3 bottles of wine for this weekend. I'm already two and a half glasses down now and I'm thinking of getting a third.

Im most likely to fail when I jerk off 3-5 times per day but we shall see what happens.

I know I don't contribute here much, but I thought I'd drop a book recommendation in here.

I wish I had this book 10 years ago.

I'm half way through it - ordinarily I'd be a bit hesitant to give a recommendation until I finished a book, but this has been one of the most intense reading experiences I've had. It's emotionally provoking, fairly harrowing in parts, but it's helping me to rationalise and understand so much about myself and others that has gone un-articulated for me to date. It's exposing things I didn't know I didn't know about myself. It's like someone's pried open my soul and laid it out on paper.

I wish I could make the whole world read this book. The highly abbreviated, inescapable conclusion - if you shame a child for something they cannot control (whatever that might be, not just around gender conformity or sexuality), you're engaging in no less than child abuse. So many gay people - most - have been subject to a kind of covert, collective abuse growing up. And it's continuing to manifest in some serious and dangerous consequences, despite all our political and legal advances. Everything from suicide, to alcohol and drug addiction (and addictions in general - to gym, to shopping, to people), cultural escapism, perfectionism, body image, co-dependence, counter-dependence, sex and relationships as a currency of validation, negative mirroring, health anxiety and anxiety in general... it all gets convincing treatment in terms of the all-to-typical catalysts present in a gay childhood.

If you're a little bit fucked up - and if you're gay, it's quite probable you are to some degree - I think this book may help you understand it. I can't speak for the latter part of the book which claims to move beyond explanation to guidance on overcoming the side effects of growing up gay, but hopefully that part of the book delivers as excellently as the first half has so far.

Thanks for the book recommendations, guys.

I don't really have expectations. I know strangers can make me comfortable but the ones I've met haven't lol. I would just rather wait/look for someone that I feel okay with. I tried stepping out of my comfort zone by having a bit more fun lately but I haven't enjoyed myself. Random hookups are definitely not me being true to myself lol.
Guess you've just gotta do you then. Hopefully you run into a nice person. It gets harder when you're done with school, unless you have a great social life with lots of friends.

Anyone who really likes you back would understand. Being a late-bloomer in the gay world isn't as uncommon as it is in the straight world , where you're encouraged to date early on. We're working on different time scales.

I got mine out of the way with grindr, and while it was fun, I don't think it's left me significantly better at anything really.

People seem to view sex as something difficult to be overcome with practice. While more reps will help, my best sex happens when my partner and I understand what we each want out of sex and work towards that, which in theory wouldn't necessarily require a ton of practice with different partners.
That's a good point about late bloomers in the gay world.

It's true that one kiss isn't going to do much for your abilities. However, if you can find somebody who will make out with you on the regular, it's a great way to get up to speed.

Sex with an understanding person who communicates well is certainly the ideal situation. It's unfortunate that everyone can't be lucky enough to find someone like that when they're inexperienced.

I'm bored
This is the correct way to deal with boredom.

I haven't read The Velvet Rage, but it's on my list now - it's cited a number of times in this book. By the sounds of it, I feel a bit cheated that I hadn't heard about it until reading Straight Jacket!

See I think that's my problem. I only really came out after I graduated university. I'm only there part-time now which isn't really the same. Kind of feel like i missed out on a lot because of it.

This looks very interesting. Thank you!

I can definitely see I still have some of those issues, particularly loving alcohol too much. I came out sophomore year of high school, but instead of slowly adjusting normally I quickly found myself in a very abusive relationship that just amplified all my issues at the time. I like to think I'm fairly well adjusted now, but it took me several years to have sex again and even though it doesn't stop me from having sex now I do have a weird fear and disgust towards it. I also still haven't figured out how to be genuinely close to anyone, be they boyfriends, friends, or even family despite craving that intimacy so much. I fear that I'll never allow myself to get or keep a boyfriend because I can easily see myself sabotaging it. Not sure if any of that really relates to the book, but it got me thinking about myself.

In a way I actually envy those that complain they've never done anything with a guy.
