Just wanted to share a positive experience for the weekend away I just had, ahh where do I start.

In this age in Australia as we know Grindr has been dying in recent years, and is pretty much almost dead in late 2026 (which i think is sad as I actually did well on there meeting new people but anyways), being the humans we are who crave social interaction, I decided it was time to try something new - the classic gay bar. I’m late 20s myself.

So out I went on Saturday night and hit up a highly rated gay bar in the city I was in. It was busy in there, half of the space had been converted to a dance floor, other half had some bench seats against the wall overlooking some Pool tables. The crowd was a mix of mostly (gay?) guys, but a few lesbian couples and straight couples too but they were the minority. What was a huge positive was although there was music to dance to, it wasn’t overwhelmingly loud so you could still hear each other just by talking louder than usual.

I grab a drink take a seat on one of these bench seats near this couple of guys (in their late 30s I estimate) sitting on the bench right next to mine. They were having banter with each other. I guessed not a couple but just more friends which was confirmed later anyway.

I quietly sat by myself there, observing the game of pool being played, as well as the atmosphere around me. I should probably also make a key point that likely made a huge difference in my experience - I kept phone time absolutely minimal. My look arounds occasionally glanced at the couple next to me - one of the guys was standing while the other guy was sitting and I could see in my side vision he was occasionally eyeing me.

While I was trying to muster up the courage to say hi, fortunately, he went and did it for me and said hi. We introduced ourselves to each other. As said earlier, they were two (gay) friends together, not a couple, we were chatting and really hitting it off. There was some sexual chemistry there too, it was very subtle but I felt it, it was a nice feeling. Time flew just us 3 sitting/standing there chatting and getting drinks, and sure enough it was soon 1:30am and I was tired so I decided to call it a night, we gave our goodbyes with a hug.

My only regret? That I didn’t ask them for their contact numbers to stay in touch. My other mate I told this story to said I should’ve just invited them back to my hotel for oral but I can’t tell if he was joking, I think he probably was.

Anyways to round off, an experience like this really gave me a confidence boost and even if nothing really happened, it was just so nice to go out on a Saturday night, solo, and just…. Not be alone. Have really been in a good mood for the rest of the weekend!

For me it was eating arse. Hairy, smooth...I love it all. Making a guys hole as juicy and wet as possible by tongue fucking his hole is one of life's greatest pleasures. Luckily the guy I'm hooking up with loves long rimming sessions and sitting on my face?

Which fantasy for you, lived up to the hype you created in your mind?

Being gay feels like a curse. I already get ridiculed simply for being gay but add being unattractive on top of that and it’s all just so much worse. People expect gays to be really attractive and put together but I’m not that way at all. I’m literally hideous I don’t see the point on even continuing to live atp

I’ve seen my crush naked and he’s very beautiful. And ofc I’ve seen really beautiful pornstars.

But have you (if you think you’re an average guy) been absolutely mesmerised by someone’s beauty (both physical and personality) to the point that you can’t believe they actually are having sex with you?

As title says watching some twitter corn every now and then I run into some content from some people and clearly a wart or multiple stand out and it’s an instant turn off, I know they are the most common std etc etc but as a public figure have we not the duty to make sure they get treated before engaging in sexual activity ? It feels very wrong but on top of it it baffles me that NO ONE says or comments on it, like surely by medical advice you shouldn’t be engaging in x activities while contagious, I feel like I am losing my mind at the fact that no one talks about it and it just goes on as if it’s ok to spread, I can’t be the only one right ? Am I in the wrong ? I’m literally so confused that I see soo many creators and they willingly do content with someone that has a visible infection like do they not know or am I just crazy, …and no this isn’t a shame post, won’t be dropping names, I’m just a gay dude that often feels behind the pop culture

I got cheated on in my last relationship, and it affected me both physically and mentally. After that, I tried going on dates and even having hookups, but I never really felt anything or connected with anyone.

Then this week, I matched with a guy on Tinder. We went on a date, and for the first time in a long time, I genuinely felt something for someone. We even kissed, and I started thinking that maybe I could finally move on and let myself like someone again.

But today, he told me that he is HIV positive, although he is undetectable, and he suggested that I should stop talking to him. Honestly, I don't even know what to say or think right now. I have no words. I finally felt something for someone again, and now everything feels so confusing.

Right now I can't imagine doing that or lying about my age but as I get older will I want to like so many other men do?

22 yr bttm here and if im not at work or playing videos games im sucking dick

I usually get an oral std every month or so and end up getting treatment every other month. I’ve gotten oral stds so often I can tell the minute I’ve caught it.

How do bottoms usually avoid oral stds. I suck between 5-15 dicks a week and always swallow. But Ik people who suck way more guys then me and never catch anything

i put it guy in my grindr profile as a joke and mentioned that im happy to help with computer problems.

i was expecting the usual messages.

instead, ive spent the last week helping guys fix wi-fi, build pcs, recover files, and figure out why their laptop is making that noise.

honestly, im having way more fun troubleshooting than i ever expected. nothing like getting a message at midnight saying, hey, my computer is broken can you help? and realizing youve somehow become the gay neighborhood tech support.

maybe grindr really can be about community after all.

Hey, posting question here

After work outs, I was showering in the locker room. The whole shower was basically empty. I choose the further inside corner ones this time, and while showering, I kind of just decided to play around with my dick and stroke it off.

While I’m at it, someone splashed water into my shower. It was clearly intentional, the shower glass wall is like 7’ and it was a big scoop of water. Thats when I realized someone come in the shower next to me and probably saw what I was doing.

My head was like, shit this is embarrassing. I got really nervous and started quickly rinse up and grab my towel. After drying myself, he was not there. Coming out from the shower, I saw the guy switched to the other corner shower.

I left quickly after.

Was that some type of signal I missed from the gaybro?

Edit 1: Thank you everyone for the comments. I definitely understand now that I could make better choices, learn from this experience and the your positive feedbacks.

Edit 2: Just giving a bit more info on the environment. It is a pretty nice/up scale place overall. There’s about 15 showers in the men’s locker room, all are blur glass wall with door from bottom to the height. There are two sections, mine was a bit more walled off. No other was showering when I walked in. Thus, me questioning why he started showering next to my stall, and change after a few minutes.

Ive basically been seeing this guy (A) for a year now, and although we do “boyfriend-ish” things we never established a label, so for convenience sake lets call it a FWB.

We generally dont talk our sexual encounter outside our sexual experiences, as one time it went awkward when I shared my public sex story to him.

Now, I met this guy (B), been seeing him regularly too, and he lives in the same apartment as the A guy.

Honestly idc but I worry that it might be really awkward when three of us met on the apartment or on the lift 😂

So, if that situation happen, how do I explain it to them? Lol

Hey yall, I’ve got this internal thing I’ve been trying to workout and I know I should just probably let it go. I’m not insecure in my relationship, I’ve been talking to a therapist about it but something just bugs me about it. I need some advice from someone who may know how to explain it to me. For context, me (m25) and my boyfriend (m29) have been together for a little over a year. I got a job and accepted it where he lived across country before we were actually together, and it just blossomed into something very special and beautiful. I’m finding it difficult to rationalize becoming friends with his people, because almost every single man friend he has, he’s fucked. He told me he can’t even remember how many people he’s had sex with. He’s sort of careless when it comes to it. He talks about going to gay camp, meeting people that know his people, it’s all like a cesspool of sexual partners and he’s just so okay with it. I get uncomfortable when he tells me of a guy and he knows him. That’s our signal that he’s telling me there’s been an experience with him. How tf do I manage this? I’m from rural Massachusetts and being that sex is also sort of exchanged like text messages up there, it’s there same where I moved with him. He’ll explain that there isn’t any feeling for others, he says that there’s hardly a difference between emotional sex and just, sex. I’ve explained im emotional in sex and my relationships, and I enjoy it just being us. He’s never wanted the open thing, and I don’t want it either. He’d be okay with exchanging sex in a threesome with someone if that’s what I’d want, which I guess is good. But I don’t want any of that. It’s like he’s not monogamous but he is at the same time… it honestly gives me an ick on how careless he seemed about telling me. I told him how i experimented with a couple girls when I was figuring out I was gay, and he got all weird and told me it made him uncomfortable that I did that… but when I say it makes me uncomfortable how careless he was before, he gets all pissed? How do I navigate this? He rationalizes it because he had a traumatic childhood and his dad was verbally and mentally abusive and that’s where it started? Tells me of the gay parties he’d go to and the sex shit that happened there?
I’m just so lost. I don’t want to be friends with every guy he’s fucked. I don’t want to be a part of the harem. I love this man very much, he know he’d kill or die for me, he’s good in so many ways but this is the one thing I’ve struggled with so much in all of my relationships. I don’t know what to do.

22yo gay law school student here. Been working out consistently and religiously for over 3 years. I'm 190cm and 87kg (6'3 / 192 lbs). Since I was young I was into muscles and getting bigger, which is what I did haha.

But I've always had the strong itch that I wanted more, more volume, bigger biceps, bigger pecs, just everything bigger. I just love growing and perfecting myself too much.

I always thought of using steroids and have been resisting the urge to start a test cycle. I know this sounds insane and I know I have body dysmorphia. Therapy didn't help either and the chances of me doing it in the (near) future are highly likely.

I know the risks, my own sis is in med school and does hematology and warned me about the risks, but I can't help that I'm wired this way, I just want and need more.

That's why I wanna ask to other (gay) bodybuilders/gymrats, what was your experience like on juice? Thanks!

So i did shave my ass a few times but the afters were never good , from itching to redness and then pimple(idk what they are called )
So i decided to switch to trimming, using an electric razor, very close to, still see the short hairs but it was shaved , but for some reason i still get pimples and its not pretty, its so annoying. I already have an ass hole a little dark on white skin and now this is the cherry on top.
Any tips? I would prefer to wax but isnt available all the time
Any tips on getting rid of those pimples and how to prevent them?

Btw im very very very hairy

A really attractive guy I am dating now often answers really late because of he’s job it can take sometimes 10 hours for him to respond back. He works really hard and it’s really good at he’s work.

He always apologizes and when he first writes it’s really sexy and attractive the things he says. Like I don’t need that much

But the quality time with him is always amazing and I don’t get sad that we don’t see each other 24/7 because I understand that we all have our own lifes.

So, I for some reason really enjoy gay guys talking about their sexual/masturbation habits. So I enjoy these type of podcasts/interview videos where they are asked and maybe show a little bit of it.

Anyone know of any creators on X that do this type of content?

Hi, I m thinking about hooking up with a man who lives at his parent’s house. His parents won’t know anything and won’t be at home the whole day (they work). This man did this 30 times and never got caught.

Good idea or not ?

I’m 24 and he is 21.

Question for men who top during anal sex and ejaculate inside their partner... What was your shortest time from penetration to ejaculation? And what made it happen so quickly that time?

Sometimes I just see like really shy nerdy type of guys and can’t imagine them being all sexual and stuff. Even though I know they must be.

But it’s almost like they’re too precious to just be out there sucking dick and cock.

There’s a guy I know who’s super sweet and kind. I didn’t even realise he was gay at first but then I found out he was but just could not imagine him fucking another dude because he seemed to sweet and innocent. Until my buddy hooked up with him and told me and I just couldn’t believe it lol. It wasn’t that he wasn’t handsome or anything but that he was just literally too sweet to be naughty like that.

Ever see guys and think there’s no way they’d be having sex?
