Sober gays. How do you remain sober and social?

Hello there I’m a 22m with alcoholic tendencies, and I have decided to quit for the second time and go alcohol free for life. Alcohol doesn’t do well with my medication and it’s just too habitual for me. I want to hit the gay bars, still go to parties, and attend raves still as it’s a major part of my social life and relief. If I don’t go out and let loose I get kinda depressed. How do you guys manage?

Dad found the thongs

Hello I’m 22m living in my parent’s house. Kinda freaking tf out rn cause my dad put in my load of laundry I had sitting out. I’ve been out for a year now, he’s not homophobic. But he is uber masculine and from a toxic masculine sports culture. He hasn’t said anything yet I’m afraid this might not reflect well on me to him.

Anybody else feel almost non human?

Hello there. I’ve been diagnosed with autism, anxiety, and adhd since age 8 (I am a 22 year old man). Last night I finally expressed something out loud to my boyfriend that I haven’t even fully accepted myself (until that point). My whole life I have felt like a science experiment. I wasn’t visually autistic enough throughout school to be ostracized, I knew a lot of people: just I was never treated as an equal. Somehow the joke was always on me and I never realized till everyone was laughing. I’ve needed so much more help and stuff like therapy and medication just to be able to function well and I kinda hate it. I wish I could relate to my friends, have a knack for something that isn’t just Tintin, Hockey, and Menswear history(my interests). Deep down I know I am human… but I have always felt like more of an organism than anything human.

Ima dumb twink (had to start again)

So decided going cold turkey about a month and half ago on a whim. I was so tired of waking up tired and being unable to feel 100% of my emotions. So I said fuck it and dropped them. First couple weeks were a dream. I could feel the stuff I wanted to, I could be sad, I could be happy and actually resonate with it in my head and body. I was finally able to try some mushrooms and have them do something. It was great… till it wasn’t. Last two weeks I’ve been getting severe panic attacks and insane stress headaches. Last night I swallowed my pride and went back. Reminder gang you are no smarter than your doctor (usually). Plz do not just decide to stop without your doc’s involvement. The happy ending here is that I am okay.

My collection! (22m)

All started with that Supreme duffel back when the hype was real in 2017. Then I stole my Mom’s Carhartt. Fast forward to years later and I acquired a Kim Jones Dior saddlebag, also got lucky finding a beautiful 1970s, Bottega Veneta flap tote. On top of that; my sister was really nice to give me her old Coach x Poppy wallet. I use these all and wear them anywhere I can!

Reminder not to roll up your skinnier raw denim to put on long socks

So yeah my pant leg was stuck around my calf for 30 minutes. Tried warm water and other techniques. Had to just rip the seam as my leg was turning purple. Is this an easy fix? Or are these naked and famous jeans cooked?

How to deal with being a brokie for awhile

Hey guys. I’ve just came off working 3 years to pursue a marketing program that I started earlier this may. Before starting school I was used to making 2-3k ever 2 weeks. Now I’m making 500 or less every 2 weeks cause I can only work twice a week. I have learning disabilities so working full time and full time studying is not an option I could do. Luckily I live at home with my parents so expenses aren’t that bad. Only problem is: my boyfriend wants me to travel with him more. I can’t really afford that and probably won’t till I’m out of school. Had to break that to him and he’s not taking it too well. I’ve told him I can maybe do camping and a ski trip but cannot do anything more as it would be too expensive. How can I make this situation better for him without just dropping out lol?

I really dislike “gay banter” as a gay autistic male

I don’t have the time or energy to decipher these constant codes and dialects in gay or fem spaces. It took me like a year to figure out “clock it” and other sayings. I want to be out and about and engage with my community, but why is this slang such a dealbreaker. It’s either you’re in on it and yayyy! Or oh you’re just a gay guy not that kinda gay guy. Like girly please I thought the checklist was smashing dudes not contributing to the zeitgeist of the dialect.

Do any of you guys get treated by women differently than other gays?

Hello there. Just pondering some social stuff I’ve realized. I’ve found a lot of times women will approach me and sometimes socialize with me like I’m a dumb straight man. But when they talk to my boyfriend they’re all very comfortable around him and get into chatting very quick. My convos with some women with him in the same space have been sarcastic, and sometimes condescending. Sometimes I just don’t talk if it’s looking that way with a group of girls. For context: I was socialized in mainly male (and some toxic male) environments due to playing competitive hockey in Canada. My boyfriend on the other end was socialized in mainly female oriented spaces due to being in competitive cheer. Idk this is just something I picked up on. Maybe I give off a weird vibe.

Tie died my Polo Thermal

Was at a little hippie festival in northern Alberta and my friends and I decided to bring a kit. Thought this piece would look sick with some colour and it does imo :)

Hello there. Anyone here with HSV1 taking medications?

Hi there I’ve had HSV1 for a very long time and I’m wondering if I should make the switch to the daily medication over just my normal anti viral (valtrex). In which I’m only supposed to take during outbreaks. I’m a high stress individual with mental complications (Autism, Depression) and I’m wondering if it’s worth switching to a daily med to protect my partner. Thank you!

Stress preventing me from successfully bottoming?

Hello. So a little embarrassing but last two times I’ve had sex with my boyfriend I’ve ended up painting him. This is the first time this has happened in months. My diet is clean, full of fibre, and I also take additional supplements. Lately douching for me has gone from a quick 15 minute task, to an hour and half chore, even with taking that much time I’m still not getting fully clean. I’ve done some research and apparently stress can contract your guts and make your fecal quality worse and more trapped inside you. I believe this might be the culprit to blame, cause I just started school and am working weekends now, essentially not having much of a work to life balance outside of the gym, some cuddles, and daily tv. Should I be worried for my summer sexual activity? My boyfriend and I have high libido and we are monogamous. (My schedule isn’t going to get better for this season, it’s either work with what I got or no money. )

Anyone else just have no desire to go to Southeast Asia after learning how impossible it is to eat in that region?

I gotta couple buddies in China right now, so I decided to research how to travel with a peanut allergy in China, Vietnam, and Thailand. The general consensus on safe eating in these places seems to be all packing your own meals or sticking to corporate fast food (McDonalds,etc). Personally I’m someone who travels to eat and explore different cuisines. Not to say I didn’t expect this news, just kind of bummed as I think I wouldn’t enjoy a trip to this region if I was eating stuff I could have at home. Maybe I’m short sighted here, idk.
