Ask Frank: Being Gay

serious question:

Hemmoroids?

forgot about censorship. the ****** means f aggo t

i say no pain no gain!

Your married to an Asian wife! I need an answer from a real gay guy please.

I don’t favor musical artists that use words like that. I don’t like hip hop that’s all about *******, bitches, hoes, etc. anyway, I prefer at least a little substance. If people are using ****** irl then I walk away, because people are gonna get decked. A similar question was addressed in the first or second page.

Aren’t… caused by anal sex? You’d have to be doing some crazy sexual deviant shit.

LOL omg. :rofl:

“First, you have to find an unsuspecting straight couple (preferably on a date) and mug them. Take their money, but only grab the wallet or purse if it is Burberry, Fendi, or something comparable. And be sure to mention that you thought [insert whatever the girl was wearing] went out two years ago.” :rofl:

Thanks for answering the rhoid question Elias, I didn’t know exactly what he meant about it. Although I was going to say something like:

I’m sure that dick’s don’t cause hemorrhoids, if that were the case I’d have to eat my crunchberries with preperation H…

Is it gay if you get drunk with a buddy in a hot tub and decide to play tummy sticks? What if it’s a dare?

What types of facial hair can I grow without being percieved as gay: Freddie Mercury, Tom Selleck/Sam Elliot, Prince, Gief circa Street Fighter: The Movie?

Serious:
What’s the deal with ‘poppers’?

What’s a good way to (or even should you?) broach the subject with a friend who you think is still figuring out or coming to terms with their sexuality? Like, would it have helped if you had a friend tell you before you came out that they already accept it?

What in the hell is tummy sticks? You know the one thing that I’m surprised about this thread is all these terms that people think might be gay, yet I have no idea what they are even talking about :lol:.

hrm. Ya know I don’t think it’ll be the facial hair that’ll have you being percieved as gay. Although thin moustaches usually set off blips on my radar. While Mutton Chops do not. I personaly don’t think goatee’s are perceived as gay, but it really depends on the person.

First off, (Taken From Wikipedia):
Inhaling nitrites relaxes (poppers) smooth muscles throughout the body, including the sphincter muscles of the anus and the vagina. It is unclear if there is a direct effect on the brain. Smooth muscle surrounds the body’s blood vessels and when relaxed causes these vessels to dilate resulting in an immediate increase in heart rate and blood flow throughout the body, producing a sensation of heat and excitement that usually lasts for a couple of minutes.

Alkyl nitrites (poppers) are often used as a club drug or to enhance a sexual experience. The head rush, euphoria, and other sensations that result from the increased heart rate are often felt to increase sexual arousal and desire. It is widely reported that poppers can enhance and prolong orgasms.

I had to double check because personally I do not “Party and Play”, but yeah so apparently Poppers loosen up the sphincter muscles, or increase blood flow to the penis. In short it’s a way for dudes to have more pleasure while having sex…but what I can tell you personally is that the 2 dudes that were down to do poppers, were more concerned about shoving that fucking bottle up their fucking nose than they were about shoving…well you get the idea. So I tend to stay away from people that use poppers now.

Hrmmmm, it’s a touchy subject. And imo you have to already know something so that you are 100% sure. Here’s a perfect example:

For those that don’t know my brother is also gay. I found out because he fucked my computer up by downloading a bunch of gay porn, and he left a video up in my media player. Now knowing this I didn’t really know how to approach him since he hasn’t officially came out and said anything. I kinda set him up (not in a negative way) to tell him, we were arguing in front of his friends, when I bring up how my computer is fucked up, and how I told him to not watch “those” videos again on my computer. He knew what I was talking about, but his friends thought it was just random straight porn. Well 2 days later he finally came out to me, and for him it was a relief that I kinda had an idea and in my own way told him that I knew about it and that I was alright with it.

For myself I came out to people in “stages”, I started with Cr0aky (for those that remember him). My brother, after he came out to me, then I told Psianyd and Redbul, then Super Joe, down the line Peachy, then everyone else in Seattle except for Mandel, and finally Mandel (well not including the SFIV ppl). Honestly this was like in order of easiest to come out to to hardest, and if Mandel would’ve came to me and said “listen first off you do you my dude. And Number 2, what is up with some fucking Strawberry Whoopers?” Then yeah it would’ve been easier to say something. But I think it’s best for them to come forth and accept who they are first, if you try to press the situation and they aren’t really sure or comfortable with their sexuality it could backfire on you.

No actually I consider transexuals/transgenders the sex they feel more comfortable with, and I refer to them as “she” or “he” the way they would like to be called. I get shit for it from insecure guys but I have transgender friends. I mean really, there is nothing at all male about some of them (I dunno any FTM transgenders)!

LOL, SO TRUE, I will keep it classy too and not mention how I KNOW Brent is all about DAT AZZ! :rofl: :rofl:

That being said, is there any sort of pain associated with the act? I’ve heard that first timing can be kinda rough or something, and that it takes time to ‘loosen’ up.

So would the experience concerning comfort for catching be more in line with how some women experience it, is there alot of friction or is it more an issue of simply relaxing, or is it entirely different?

I approve of this thread. Ignorance is the biggest reason for prejudice. Me, coming form; right wing, uneducated fuck, fundamentally religious, KY. can vouch. So, Anything done to educate and peacefully bridge the gap to understanding is a O.K. in my book.

Frank: This might be a hard question to answer, beings as how you are only one man, but does “coming out” and being an ethnic minority have its benefits or drawbacks? Do you think it’s harder for individuals of your ethnicity to “come out” than other ethnicitys ? Abstracting that a bit, Do you think it’s harder for individuals of any minority ethnicity to “come out” compared to a majority ethnicity?

The very first time yes it did, BUT I think the major factor in that was the lack of communication between us. I was like “Oh shit! We are actually gonna fuck!” And I think the same thought was going through his mind too. And while I would say it was enjoyable, the day after…not so much enjoyable. But I wasn’t going to give up! The next time we both decided to fuck we eased our way into the task at hand, and when I finally felt like I was ready for it we went at it, and it was even more enjoyable than the first time and there wasn’t any pain afterward. To all the guys out there that want to get in that brown on your ladies. Take my advice, you need to talk it through with her, and take it slow even using other things to “soften” the blow before you plow in that shit. Don’t be like the last dude I let get there, he tried to slip and slide up in my shit and well…let’s just say I’m not planning on calling him back. Oh and lube you’re going to need that.

The lube definitely helps ease on the friction, and also helps you guide yourself right on in. Relaxing helps a lot too, but once something tries to get back in so to speak you kinda instinctively tense up, that’s where the whole easing in or setting it up helps, fingers, butt plugs, a dildo, vibrator whatever should help out. Oh, but if you’re using a dildo and the broad wants to like get freaky and use it on her while you’re attacking that brown…make sure she washes it first.

I think being a minority is just tough as shit period. Even more so when you are mixed half of the majority and half of the minority. But then again maybe I’m fortunate enough to not had to endure setbacks because of my race. Tbh I’ve felt that I’ve experienced more setbacks because of my physical shape (or lack thereof) than for my race. But that’s an entirely different subject. Now onto the whole “coming out” aspect, we’ll start with family since for most that’s the first people they tell when they are finally ready to “be themselves”.

Well my ethnicity is half Filipino (my dad) and half white (my mom). When I came out to my dad he was a bit freaked out about it (“Just don’t get caught up too much with men” is what he told me over and over again…If I’m telling you that I’m gay/bi it’s kinda too late for that.) My mom on the other hand was for lack of words, thrilled that I came out, as stated in a previous post. I do believe certain races have it tougher than others when it comes to being gay or coming out. Here’s the list imo from easiest to hardest at least from a parent perspective.

White - Just based on the society we live in and what is portrayed in the media, I think it’s the easiest for white people. But I also think it’s one of the hardest too, I think it’s really easy for a white male or female to come out in Seattle, than it is in Kansas or in North Carolina.

Black - Again it’s the area you live in that plays a major role. To me, I think a black youth or adult has a hard time trying to come out. In the respect that I think the race that really looks at gay people as “feminine” or not as macho/manly is black people. Out of all the races i think black people think that if you’re gay you’re weak. Again this is based on culture and our society.

Spanish/Filipino/Indian - Why are these two banded together? Religion. While Religion plays a factor for the above 2, I think it’s more of a factor towards these races since based on my own experiences, Spanish people and Filipino people are…I wouldn’t say very religious in the sense that there a greater % of said race that follows their religion. But it’s more of how (not trying to step on toes here) extreme they are when it comes to their religion. From what I’ve seen people that are religious from the said races mentioned, are pretty down for what they believe in, and will hold that in their judgment towards other people.

Asian/Native American - I think being Asian and Native American it is the easiest to come out. I just feel that once the shock blows over, they are the quickest to realize that as long as their son/daughter is happy that’s all that matters.

I hope that I didn’t step on any toes here, I felt like I just walked through a land mine field :lol: But thanks for the questions Jais. And again welcome to Season 2 of TW’s!

might wanna do an enema first too hahahaha

what Jacob said.

How do you interact with someone who you think is gay but has yet to come out? I saw this a lot in high school. Gay dudes with girlfriends is hilarious to me, but then again HS is a biatch when it comes to things like sexuality. There is probably like 10 other dudes in the scene that have yet to come out.

Also, have you lost friends because of your sexuality? This one kind of pisses me off because it shows just how fucking ignorant and insecure people can be. To me its kind of like any other preference. I prefer spandex to skinny jeans, but I would not hate you for choosing otherwise. Can’t we all just get along?

I have a cousin back in Wisconsin that me and my immediate family are convinced is gay. He’s into interior design, talks gay, walks, gay, all foofy and shit. The man is gay. He ended up marrying a woman who was like 10 years older than him, who was probably desperate to get married and have kids. Now he’s got kids and is pretty much effed. My aunt and uncle are very religious, so I feel like he was probably just too ashamed to come out. He’s a hella cool guy too. Saddest shit ever. Fuck religion man.

Just because he walks like a duck, talks like a duck, & act like a duck doesn’t make him a gay duck…Now if he’s a [media=youtube]TcAG8bKhXZo"[/media] that’s different…

I’d interact with them as I would normally would. And yes I agree that there are probably 10 ppl in the scene that have yet to come out.

We’re still friends right handsome? But seriuosly, I haven’t lost any friends due to my sexuality. If anything my friendships with said people have gotten stronger after I’ve came out.

So do gay guys do the whole creampie thing? If so do they prefer it or not?

^You’ll find gays that do all sorts of whack shit like fisting, sounding (shoving rods in your dick that generate soundwaves or something >_<), and all sorts of shit I don’t want to mention but there are the same sexual deviants in the heterosexual category. I always run into gross shit if I’m on xtube tryin’a find some relatively normal sexin’.

There’s really nothing much that an outside force can do for someone still in the closet IMO. Then again, some people might not get any support in that sense so if one could be generalized enough like ‘you know you can tell me anything right?’ might help, but at the same time someone might take it as invasive or inappropriate or just plain uncomfortable. It’s hard to say. For the most part though, it’s really a journey someone has to take themselves. Letting someone know you’re there to talk is good, but it can be a delicate subject to broach.

That’s always terrible. I go to this gay forum and there are guys that are in their 60s and 70s and just recently in the past few years accepted their sexuality/divorced their wives/whatever else. It’s sad that older generations have had such a shitty place to be a homosexual where there was little to no support from anyone. A lot of these people grew up while homosexuality was still classified a mental illness. It’s a shame… At the same time sometimes it’s inspiring knowing that while the tolerance still isn’t quite there, it’s a lot better than in the past. We’re gettin’ there.

I agree with Frank saying that us whiteys probably have it the easiest. Yeah, there’s a lot of like mormon/catholic/whatever white families, but for every white religious family there’s like 5 black/hispanic families that are religious. I think black people have it the worst. I’ve read a lot of coming out stories from kids and the ones from black kids are the worst. I agree that as I’m generalizing races I feel like I’m walking through a minefield, so cut me some slack here, but the black community/culture in general is extremely homophobic.

How about ‘no homo’? There’s a great one. Not only are black guys that are gay viewed as weak, a lot of times they’re not even respected as men. I’ve read about black guys coming out who lose their entire friend circles, because the ones who would tolerate it would also be shunned from the group if they were down with being friends with a homo. Obviously this isn’t a homogeneous rule, but yeah I think black guys have it the worst (can’t really speak for girls), and maybe hispanic or any other ethnicity that has a strong religious background. I’m of the opinion though that if you come out and lose friends, you’ve saved yourself a lot of time. I wouldn’t want to be “friends” with someone like that anyway so if I can just get them to fuck off that easily, then it saves me a lot of time in the long run.

I can’t even imagine coming from a religious background and trying to deal with it. I came from a nonreligious household with two parents who were always reminding me that if I ever needed to talk about absolutely anything that they were down. Even then, I never came out to my parents or talked to them about it. That shit’s just too awkward, I just kinda made them figure it out. My mom ironically asked me, “so do you like boys or girls?” literally days before I finally hit the point where I didn’t care and was comfortable saying it. My answer gave it away either way it was just a long awkward pause, followed by, “…girls?” And then I was just hella embarrassed by my weak ass obviously fake answer. :rofl: But hey it got the point across. I think my dad’s girlfriend clued him in.
