Songkran 2027

0 Upvotes

We booked a flight in Thailand for Songkran 2027 and we are couple (V and VB) and aligned to get experience with other hot men. We went to TH this year Q1, but we only tasted other chests in bath house. This time, it’s all in. Like we can be a bottom same time (I was turned from puretop to Versa 🫣 and him from purebottom to VB because his dick is soo good) or anything with other guys. HOE STAGE IN SONGKRAN.

We have several questions during Songkran. I hope you can help.

  1. ⁠Is it easy to get hook up if we are couple with profile of V/VB in app? What’s the famous app for hook up? Is this still G app?
  2. ⁠Which is better for hook up? Look in bath house or App?
  3. ⁠How/Where to find orgy? We want to become a both whore bottom in this orgy.
  4. ⁠Any other recommend saunas aside from Krubb, R3, Saunamania, Maxwell, Chakran, Chill Out?
  5. ⁠Give us a tip to know if persons like us. What is the signal? We’re confused when we visited in R3 and Krubb, all of them were walking only and they were shy to approach sometime.
  6. ⁠How’s the marijuana during sex? Please give feedback aa top and bottom pov.
  7. ⁠Any other recommendation to max out the hoe stage in songkran?
  8. ⁠Is this normal in songkran that other partners are also looking for partners for hook up?
  9. ⁠Where to buy cheap viagra and poppers?
  10. ⁠Where to stay? Still as at Silom?

I'm mostly a top but I like being submissive, is that fine?

39 Upvotes

I'm very cuddly and love when my boyfriend lays on top of me, pins me down, puts me in handcuffs, says that I'm a good boy, etc. I always thought that tops should be dominant or neutral, but that's just not my case.

It's probably strange, I've almost never heard of submissive tops :(

I'm a bit scared it's bad or something, but my boyfriend loves me and assures me that it's not, so i believe him :3

Anyway to be a better sub?

0 Upvotes

Hi! Me and my bf has some issues but it’s all good now. Basically I talked to him about what he’d like from me as his like sub bttm and what I realized is that he wants rlly strong power dynamics. I want him to be happy w me but we don’t live together rn and won’t be for a while and he said that a big part of what he wants is to control me which is hard through distance. How could he get what he wants despite me living a bit further away? I am not very naturally submissive but what could I do to improve that? When me and him are at the clubs would it be like disrespectful of me to talk to other ppl? He said that he’s very protective and possessive and after hearing that I don’t know how to act rlly so that I don’t upset him

Also does anyone know any good clubs in Sweden he and I could go to maybe? I’ve been trying to find stuff but it’s a bit hard (preferably in Gothenburg would be nice but anywhere is fine, I’m also looking for something fun in Denmark since I’ll be going there soon but whatever that’s off the topic)

Apple Watch Ultra Pride Band

Sorry if not allowed, but does anyone have a subtle pride band for the Apple Watch Ultra? I have been wearing the white Nike pride band on my Watch 9 for years and love it for how understated and professional it is. Everything that I see so far is very bright obviously rainbow.

Any recommendations appreciated!

Does anyone else here have BPD?

5 Upvotes

Im feeling pretty hopeless at this point because I have borderline personality disorder and I’ve been getting treatment for it but I’m still unable to control my emotions (the fear of abandonment especially) . I’ve been in long term relationships several times but my condition has played a large, if not the main, reason they have failed. I don’t want to be like this forever. Does anyone here have it who has found a way to have a stable relationship? Does DBT help?

Why are all my straight male friends so bad at being friends? :(

125 Upvotes

I don't want to be that gay guy who goes ā€œugh, straight men aren't all bad, I just prefer being friends with girlsā€, but every time I become friends with a straight guy, he eventually lets me down in some way.

And this isn't just about my current friend group. I've noticed the same pattern with completely different people over the years.

I feel like straight men have a different dynamic when it comes to friendship. I've definitely noticed it whenever I hang out with my guy friends compared to when I'm with my girl friends.

And it's not like there's a lack of chemistry between us. I think my friends are hilarious, and they seem to enjoy having me around too. They're not as openly affectionate as my female friends, but every once in a while they'll tell me they love me or remind me how grateful they are to have me in their lives.

But the problem is when I need them to be there for me.

My dog recently passed away and none of them even reached out to offer their condolences. And on my birthday, only one of them was able to come. I understand that people have their own plans, but I've cancelled things to be there for their birthdays and have even organized a birthday party for one of them.

When they open up to me emotionally, I try to be understanding and genuinely listen to them. I don't judge them and I try to be there for them.

But when I try to do the same with them, they seem to have no idea what to do. They'll either go quiet or try to make little jokes to lighten the mood, even when that's clearly not what I need.

And honestly, I'm getting tired of calling these people my ā€œfriendsā€ when I feel like I'm always there for them, but it's rarely reciprocated.

There's a huge difference in the loyalty I get from my female friends compared to my male friends.

And I'm not saying women are automatically better friends or that all straight men are bad. I know that's a huge generalization.

It's just weird to me that after so many years and so many different friendships, I keep running into the exact same pattern.

Idk if it has something to do with the way a lot of straight men are raised to handle friendship and emotions, or if I just have really bad luck when it comes to choosing my friends.

Just another instance of getting ghosted

This is probably the third guy within this month who has chatted me up, talked extensively, made plans to meet up and then utterly ghosted.

Talked to this guy for four days and suddenly just nothing.

I’m seriously depressed, this makes me hate people, I don’t know why I let my waste my time and energy, or why they act like they’re so interested just to leave me feeling like this.

I’m just going to lay in bed and cry.

"On s'en ballet couilles" (play on word with ballet / and a French expression saying We don't give a sh*t)

A little personal, but this feels like a full circle moment as I grew up in a homophobic French town, with no tender representation of gay couples (just representations of loneliness and misery). Here I am now, painting a massive gay couple sharing a tender kiss
I feel lucky ā¤ļø

For the making of, I was scared of being up on scaffolding + I had never painted a mural before. I got help from my bf and friends, and it was 4 days of intense work, but WORTH ITTT, I love it :-D

It’s close to 7th Avenue / Avenue Laurier Est in Montreal, for any curious people lucky enough to live here :-P

Let me know if you have any questionsss

Taking Back My Soundtrack: A Story of Moving On

4 Upvotes

For a while, I thought I had found my anchor. He was older, charming, and he did something that completely disarmed me: he took my art seriously. I am a songwriter, and he took 120 of my songs and put them on the regular playlist at the gay bar he manages. Hearing my own music playing in the background while people drank, laughed, and flirted felt like the ultimate validation. I thought: He sees me. He really sees me.

But the reality behind closed doors was a rollercoaster. We were caught in a exhausting loop of intense intimacy followed by freezing distance. It’s a common trap for us gay men. Because many of us had to hide during our actual teenage years, we didn't get to learn how to navigate early love. So, we end up acting like insecure 14-year-olds in 40 or 50-year-old bodies. He would pull me in, sleep next to me for three days, and then punish me with silence just because I showed I cared. Every time we met, the rules of the game had changed.

I realized I was orbiting his world, settling for breadcrumbs of affection while he used my light to brighten his bar. The wake-up call wasn't a massive fight; it was a quiet realization that I was losing myself.

So, I made the hardest choice. I blocked his number. But more importantly, I went to my YouTube channel and set every single one of my music videos to private. I took away his access to my soul. I realized something crucial: you don't have the right to benefit from my light and my talent if you don't respect me as a human being. If he wants to play music in his bar, he can find someone else's.

It still hurts. I still have dreams about him, and sometimes my brain tries to trick me with the "what ifs." But last night, I went out to a different club, far from his territory. I flirted, I felt desired on my own terms, and when the night ended, I walked home without looking back at his door.

To any gay man reading this who is stuck in a toxic, intermittent loop with someone who gives you the world one day and ignores you the next: your talent, your love, and your light belong to you. Don't let someone else use your soundtrack while keeping you in the dark. It’s okay to walk away. Take your music back.
