I came down with the flu...![]()
much better than it coming by the spring. i most definitely will have some money by then.Refuji, you know I think you are a good man. I hate psychobabble and I hate playing arm chair shrink, but let me say this about your masturbation: I suspect it is one of the few places in your life you feel you have control. You feel controlled by your family because you are dependent on them. You feel you have no control without a job. I think masturbation provides you with an escape from thinking about not having control and and your loneliness. If you are masturbating, you are not dwelling on all that is wrong in your life. It also provides you with pleasure and relief and you probably have very little of that. You are not free to fully enjoy the friendships in your life with the people you love because you can't fully be yourself. The fact that you tend to be so open and honest with us here only reminds you that you are not that way in real life. You will get there.
As an adult, I can now look back on my childhood and better understand some of the things I did as a boy. Long before puberty, I used masturbation to help me feel better about the hell we lived in. For those few minutes of escape, I could forget about it all. If I was alone or singing or pleasuring myself, I felt good. Kind of like the escape of a pleasant dream rather than the usual nightmare.
Or like getting lost in a good book. After puberty, I began to realize I had attractions that were not "normal". Masturbation was not only a way to express my sexuality but it was a source of deep guilt. Because I did it so much, I felt guilty and ashamed all the time. The shame of what I was doing and my attraction to guys caused me to put up walls with absolutely everyone. I consider myself a pretty emotionally and psychologically healthy man today, but I still struggle with trust with people I don't know well. The shame, guilt, fear and walls caused me to mistrust others. When I was 18, I knew the escape and pleasure I sought in masturbation could have been traded for sex with others. I think this would have destroyed me. Literally. All I would have done was to trade one compulsion for another. It would not have been about love. It would have been about me using sex instead of enjoying sex within a healthy relationship.
I'm not telling you that you shouldn't masturbate. I'm just telling you that masturbation is sometimes more than just about masturbating. If you work to understand yourself now, one day, when you find a guy to love, you will be glad you did. I think you have a lot of energy and passion to share with another person and that includes sexually, but until then know thyself.
wow, you pretty much figured me out.Can someone put it into words? Besides calling me heterophobic and/or crazy? lol
I was looking through Netflix for gay themed movies and I have to confess that I have very little interest in lesbian love stories. I am a bad homosexual, I guess.
Not only that, but about 99% of gay themed movies are shit...bad acting, directing, story line and the low budget shows.
I was discussing gay cinema with a friend. He says he can't watch or read "straight" love stories as they "simply reinforce heteronormalism and therefore I cannot relate to them in the slightest". I can't say as I love romcoms or anything, but I think I can relate to "falling for somebody" and "falling for somebody you can't have" pretty easily.

^ You don't give yourself enough credit, refuji! It may sound like bullshit, but I find you attractive and I would date you if you asked me out.
Also, I don't see myself as much of a looker either (as I stated before...I think I have a boring face), but I've managed to pull more than enough guys who confirmed that I was attractive to somebody.I don't see you being any different when it comes down to it.
And you said it yourself regarding websites like okcupid and such--there are certain "types" of guys who get most of the luck on through that arena. I think some of it comes down to sheer numbers, while the rest is prejudices and "preferences". When people are *honestly* thinking about hooking up in the back of their minds, their preferences dictate who they interact with or even give the time of day to. You may have to rely on other avenues to meet guys. I'm sure you've heard that spill before...so I need to be redundant. If you can just expand your gay circle (if it's even existent), or even meet some gay guys through your straight friends (if at all possible), try make it happen.
@ Fuji...
Okay man, you are ugly as fuck. Wow, I've had some beautiful fucks in my time
but can't recall any really ugly ones. Some were bland...but, vanilla is good at times
(not the race kind, drop that shit)
Please stop posting that picture of the hot guy with the amazing ass. I'm supposed to be working, not getting horny and thinking about fucking yet again. At least if you're going to post it, offer to help a gargoyle out.
