My partner and I are both pretty trim, but we like to shower together and then pig-out on junk food afterwards. It usually goes like this:
{*super-naughty fun time is over*}
"I'll heat the oven - you start the hot water in the shower!"
"Ok! Mozzarella sticks please.. or do I want toasted ravioli?"
"Why not both?!"
We gave this pattern a code name in college: the Digiorno Protocol.
I usually feel pretty unsexy after eating, so for me a date with a nice meal with the intention of getting laid after is a no-go, for me the order would fun activity, sex, then a nice meal after.
It's also grand that gaffers are complaining about that thread, on a site where people post "would" on any thread about an attractive woman.
So remember when we talked about listing LGBT themed media (especially TV & film) a couple of pages back? I kind of accidentally put together a list of shows, films & documentaries. It is not a list of every single piece of media that contains LGBT characters but a selection that includes my personal favourites, stuff people have recommended to me and one or two things I found whilst composing the list. I tried to find something for every letter in the acronym and things that span the globe but I know that there probably exist a bunch of stuff I either missed or forgot about. So anyway, here is a far too long list of stuff:
The groundbreaking drama about gay life in Manchester. There also exist a U.S. version if you for some reason want to watch a worse version that doesn't feature young Littlefinger.
Follows the lives and loves of a small, close-knit group of lesbians living in Los Angeles as well as the friends and family members that either support or loath them.
Basically "The L Word" but set in Scotland, with different charachters and a different tone. So it's not really like "The L Word". But people keep insiting that it is. But it's not. Except it kind of is. But not really.
Supposedly it is a good show. But I'm not sure if it is "good for being on Logo"-good or "actually a good show"-good. Anyway, the show itself centres on gay life in west Hollywood.
An adaptation of the novel of the same name. This three-part series is set in the 1980's and is about Nick Guest who is to begin postgraduate studies in London, moves into the luxurious home belonging to the family of his best friend and casts himself into the life of plentiful riches and love affairs.
The lives of two young women collide in Victorian England when a trio of 'fingersmiths' (pick-pockets) concoct an elaborate scam to defraud a young heiress of her inheritance.
Based on the novel of the same name, Sugar Rush follows the life of a 15 year old lesbian who moves from London to Brighton on the south coast of England.
The recent HBO adaptation of the play of the same name by Larry Kramer. Adapted by Kramer and Ryan Murphy it is about the AIDS epidemic of the 80's centring around activists in New York.
Being one of the most exciting contemporary directors Xavier Dolan has explored multiple facets of the queer identity without making his films solely about being queer. In my mind his greatest work so far has been Laurance Anyways and if you're just going to watch one film on this list, make it this one.
It doesn't hurt that Xavier Dolan also happens to be very pretty.
A film about a gay writer that explores what it means to be gay in China where even if it is technically legal to be gay the police still persecute homosexuals.
Based on the play of the same name about the persecution of homosexuals by the Nazis and life in the concentration camps. Also worth noting that this is probably the only film in which you will see both Mick Jagger and Jamie Lannister.
One of the pioneers of gay cinema, and the man who brought Tilda Swinton into the limelight, the work of Derek Jarman is a showcase of eccentricity and creativity. I single out Caravaggio not for being his best film but it is probably one of his more accessible works, Nigel Terry and Sean Bean stars in the biopic (of sorts) about the Baroque painter.
Kenneth Anger is an experimental film-maker who is one of the first (if not the first) American directors to bring gay culture to the cinema. Why do I single out Scorpio Rising? Because yet again this is probably one of the more accessible works, it's about an army of gay Nazi bikers... Yes, most of Anger's work can only be described by the phrase "it is one of the most insane things I've ever seen" .
I'm going to let the description from the BFI speak for itself:
Pink Narcissus is a breathtaking and outrageous erotic poem focussing on the daydreams of a beautiful boy prostitute who, from the seclusion of his ultra-kitsch apartment, conceives a series of interlinked narcissistic fantasies populated by matadors, dancing boys, slaves and leather-clad bikers. ... With its highly charged hallucinogenic quality, its atmosphere of lush decadence, and its explicit erotic power, Pink Narcissus is a landmark of gay cinema.
David Dencik is one of the greatest working Swedish actors and he co-stars in this film about two Danish ex-servicemen who when they meet in a neo-nazi group start a relationship.
One of the early works of queer cinema, directed by William Friedkin and based on the play of the same name about. The film focuses on its characters and how they interact during a birthday party.
Based on the autobiography of the same name and starring John Hurt, this television film is about Quentin Crisp, one of the most important gay icons in Britain.
Yes it is a Lifetime film but don't stop reading, this one is actually decent. A biopic about Mary Griffith, and the why and how she became a gay rights activist.
An Israeli film about love between two soldiers stationed in an outpost on the Lebanese border. There also exist a less good sequel which you may want to check out if you loved this film.
The film is a dramatisation of the life of Brandon Teena, a trans man who attempts to find himself and love in Nebraska. A bit bleak but very well made.
A gorgeous piece of cinema, based on the book of the same name about an English professor struggling to cope with ordinary life in 1960's Los Angeles after the sudden death of his boyfriend. Also Nicholas Hoult is ridiculously good looking.
From the director of "Room with a View" and based on the novel of the same title it is a tale of same-sex love in early 20th century England, featuring a young Hugh Grant and great cinematography.
Adapted from writer Christopher Isherwood's autobiography of the same name this television film tells the story of Christopher's life in Berlin in the early 1930s.
The film centres around a police officer with a pregnant girlfriend, who whilst he is away on a training course falls in love with a male colleague and the complications that arises from that.
Based on the stage musical of the same name, this musical comedy-drama film is about a fictional rock band fronted by an East German transgender singer and their tour across the U.S.
A French romantic coming-of-age drama about discovering desire, and asserting oneself as a woman and as an adult. Featuring some magnificent performances from the leads.
I have no idea how Gregg Araki made this film, most of his work is funny, immaterial films that play with gender norms and sexuality. This however is a fantastic piece of drama with a great central performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Queerness is a central theme in a lot of the films by the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, the film I have singled out centres around two childhood friends and the sexual abuse that occurred during their religious schooling under the Franco regime.
This is worth seeing just because of the stunning performance that Zoé Héran gives as a 10 year old transgender boy. Like seriously, the film is great and all but that performance is hauntingly good.
Filmmaker Gwen Haworth turns her camera on her family for this down-to-earth documentary that follows her transition from male to female over the course of several years.
Part of the documentary series Georgian Underworld that examined "hidden" aspects of life in 18th century Britain. Queen Anna Chancellor narrates this episode that focuses on queer life which provides some fascinating historical insights.
After 42 years, lesbian couple Edie and Thea are finally getting married. The film chronicles their lives from the early '60s to the present day and the political and personal battles they've endured.
Three years before the riot at Stonewall, a group of transgender women and drag queens fought police harassment at Compton's Cafeteria in San Francisco. This film explores that event, the people who partook in it and life in San Fransisco around that time.
Taking a look at the events that led up to, the fight against and the aftermath of California's Proposition 8 which defined marriage as between a man and a woman only.
An exploration of the intersection between religion and homosexuality in the U.S. and how the religious right has used its interpretation of the Bible to stigmatize the gay community.
A part of the investigative journalism show Dispatches, Hunted takes a chilling look at the homophobia in Russia. Also known as a stand alone documentary Hunted: The War Against Gays in Russia
The film documents the final year in the life of Robert Eads, a female-to-male transsexual, who when diagnosed with cancer was turned down for treatment by two dozen doctors out of fear that treating such a patient would hurt their reputations.
... That ended up being longer than anticipated. Sorry about that, and please, please avoid quoting the entire post.
Hmm. I don't know if they'll let me transfer my credits over from my big school into the community college for a few years. Not sure it works that way.

No, but you could take some classes in CC and try to transfer them over to your big college school. Have you taken all your electives/core requirements already? You could take the equivalents of those at your CC and see if they transfer to your big school.
Have you guys seen this thread? I'm getting a good few laughs from some of the posts in there, and from the OP. I'm sure some of you could shed some knowledge

Captcha's post is really good. He does a great job explaining the experience. I don't think we should be ashamed of talking about those kind of topics, and personally it's a question I always wanted to ask others (gay guys preferably, irl) but never really found the courage to do so. I think you just didn't want to click on it to avoid some outrageous and funny responses.
It's obnoxious how many people believe that exploring your own body has anything to do with your sexuality. Straight people should be able to enjoy butt stuff without questioning themselves.
