Confusing Straight Guy

[SayWhat]

You seem to be suggesting that this is YOUR problem to solve--by figuring out what he "means" and then by "ignoring it." Not really. It's HIS actions that are causing (or at least contributing to) your confusion. You have a right--even a responsibility--to let him know exactly what that is so he can become mature enough to change.

I see where you're coming from here, and I agree. I just hate to bring it up and look like one of those gay guys that can't be just friends with other guys. I typically hang out with girls out of preference, but I'm proud to say that the straight guys that DO know about my sexual preferences don't mind it because they know I respect their heterosexuality. I don't want to be one of those cliche gay guys that make other men uncomfortable!

Here's an example of what I was thinking about earlier when I suggested the direct communication approach. And, yeah, I really do mean this to be funny AND deadly serious at the same time:

Next time he grabs your nipple, look him straight in the eye and say, "You know, every time you grab my nipple like that, I pop a hardon in about 3 seconds. Now, I like having a hardon as much as the next guy--maybe even as much as you.
But it makes me really confused and I always ask myself, 'Did he just give me a hardon so that HE could deal with it or so that I have to deal with it?' Either way, I'm fine, because I'm gonna get off. But if you leave it to me to take care of, I just might have to use your shirt as a cumrag. I'm sure you won't mind."

Hahaha! I love this! We joke around and make jabs at each other pretty often, so I think this would be a good way to approach the topic!

i really think you should follow his advice

So, meet him halfway. Next time he pinches your nipples, smile and tell him to stop it because it's giving you wood. He'll either laugh and stop or maybe he won't. If he doesn't stop, tell him not to start anything he doesn't want to finish and then look into his eyes until he understands you're serious. And maybe he will want to stop. Maybe he won't. But either way you will have your answer and you'll know what kind of a situation you're moving in to.

Next time he grabs your nipple, look him straight in the eye and say, "You know, every time you grab my nipple like that, I pop a hardon in about 3 seconds. Now, I like having a hardon as much as the next guy--maybe even as much as you.
But it makes me really confused and I always ask myself, 'Did he just give me a hardon so that HE could deal with it or so that I have to deal with it?' Either way, I'm fine, because I'm gonna get off. But if you leave it to me to take care of, I just might have to use your shirt as a cumrag. I'm sure you won't mind."

Okay, guys, you caught me. neditesjamais is my Alzheimer's sock puppet, though with a slightly more edgy potty mouth. It's so embarrassing to forget when I've already posted and end up saying the same thing twice in the same thread...


LOL.

How incredibly embarrassing! Completely unintentional, I assure you. I had to go back and completely reread your whole post before I even found what you wrote. Good grief! It definitely entered my subconscious and reprocessed out through my fingers. So, is there an online support group for this affliction? Or do I just have to stop drinking beer while I'm posting?

Thanks for the complement, bankside. I'm working on my edgy potty mouth.

Congratulations, ruivinho. Bilingual puns are a sign of very high IQ.

Damn. Did I read that somewhere?

Any updates on the situation, SayWhat?

I'd like to chime in here, too, as I just wrote about this on my blog. I say move in with him.

But I agree with the earlier poster--some direct communication is needed. My guy gave me mixed signals like crazy. We were inseparable. And you shouldn't throw a bond like that away just because you are incompatible. These'll be the best years of your life.

But I warn you, if you live with him, and you are harboring sexual feelings towards him, it'll kill you. Every time he sits next to you on the couch or stands next to you while you are scrambling eggs, or god forbid, gives you a shoulder massage, you are going to misinterpret it as a sexual advance.

Hey, georgeguntherglass, I just read your blog about your "straight boyfriend" and I gotta say, that was loads of fun, right?

I hate how confusing situations can be.

I have my own "straight boyfriend" that I could talk about, but there's no point, whatsoever. The whole thing is so fucked up and I'm so confused by it.
