  • Your gender? Your sexual identity? Male
  • Your sexual orientation? Bi Sexual.
  • Where Are You From? Netherlands
  • Where Do You Live? The Hague
  • How Old Are you? 22
  • Favorite Type of Music? Pop, Game OST's, Rock, Anything really but not pure Classic.
  • Profession or Career interest? IT or a Management job.
  • Favorite video game(s)? Zelda TP, Mario Odyssey, Metroid Prime Trilogy, KH2, MGS 1 up to 4 and ofcourse Splatoon;).
  • What are your hobbies (other than gaming)? Netflix, Listening to music, Fitness (weightlifting, situps, pushups pullups etc) Japanese Culture and other cultures in general, Anime, Art, Going Out(clubs, bars, festivals etc.) fashion (i have too much clothes for a male:P) and Finally Gaming (duh:P)
While i was struggling with it a bit i am now sure of it i like both men and women altho my future plan is a wife + kids, i don't mind sexual intercourse with hot/cute males tbh. I always found Snake and Link to look hot in video games. In my early teenage years i had sex with a male friend and i did not mind it at all i kinda liked it actually.

Anyway i can be attracted to both genders and don't mind sex with either gender (female or male i like/love both equally, so why not both:D)

PS/TL:DR:
i love pussy and joysticks (dicks):P

Glad to join LGBTQ Era:)
Edit:
Some more info about me:
Brown dark eyes, white skin , dark brown medium high spiky hair sides shaven (kinda like Inkling Boy's hairstyle from Splatoon 2), skinny (skinny buffed hopefully soon a sixpack too, flat/tight belly now) height same as Tom Cruise kinda (1.72cm and 60kg).

Tattoos (couple of videogame ones, they look neat it was expensive tho and got a couple more planned: Squid Sisters and Marina now i have midna and wolf link and a tribal, wich needs a touchup).

How would i rate myself looks wise? Between 7.5 and 8 (depends on the day lol) and a kinda cute vibe. And currently studying at college for IT will do higher education after to be able to grow into a management job.

Piercings: 2 Helix in right ear and 1 industrial in left. Maybe get nipple ones someday or one down below (i am circumcised and don't mind it at all):) also wanted a brow one in my face but decided against it for job professions.

I have ADHD but learned to live with it, it keeps me happy easy and excited/interested for things. I can talk alot or have hyper moments but it's not extreme. Only big negative is bad focus and bad concentration.

I don't mind being small height wise btw i love it if a longer dude would carry/lift me:3 or a cute girl that's the same height as me or a bit smaller is also pretty nice. So honestly i never cared being below average height wise. So it never hindered me as a male.

Yea no one really tries to talk to people at clubs I've noticed. I usually just dance with my friends and I end up having a great time.
This is generally my experience at clubs. Going as a group makes it much more fun and I find eases the burden of 'needing' to find somebody to go home with. It also makes it easier for other people to get involved and dance with you, since they're just dancing with a group of people having fun rather than having to approach an individual.

The one exception I've found has been in the smoking area of clubs (I'm not sure if these are present elsewhere, as smoking is banned in nightclubs here necessitating the need to have an outdoor area for people to smoke) where, without the music people generally stand around chatting and can be a decent way to talk to people (even if you don't smoke, as I don't).

Also Soul Unison, that's a pretty cool story.

I'm screaming we're rating our own looks now?! Sorry this made me laugh lmao.

Also yay for another person doing IT I just got my degree in it back in May and don't really like it lol. My current job sort of uses my degree but it's mostly a legal/document review job that requires IT/Computer Science knowledge.

Ha well i just wanted to make a detailed post and proper introduce myself etc. But yeah it looks kind of funny when i reread/look back at it:P

anyway so far i am okay with it i find the Cisco part boring but the rest is fine. After i get my college degree i will probably do higher education after. I messed up some other educations earlier in life, and as i am 22 already i really want to seriously finish my education this time around and make something out of it.

Welcome! :)

Romantic attractions and sexual attractions don't have to align. Do you think you might, along with your gay identity, be describable as a homoromantic bisexual?

Heyo! o/

Honestly, not sure. While I do have some occasional sexual attraction to women, it's been a predominately male for both romantic and sexual attraction. Kinda not sure if that would entirely fit me or not, though.

Same, and I haven't really found a word for it that I stick to so I just use gay or queer as labels if I am asked.

Don't be too nervous, everyone is welcome here. That goes for everyone else here just relax and go with the flow.

Great taste btw.

You ever ruin a chance with someone cause you're waaaaaaaaaay to clingy.

Cause thats what I did.

It happens, long as you're aware and do better next opportunity you should be alright. Don't beat yourself up.

Bodybuilding wise nothing major to show aside from photos in Summer 2016 bulking up so it ain't the best sight quite yet.

Edit: being clingy isn't an easy thing to avoid. And the best of us do it too, it's something you eventually get over through experience

Awww xD :*

My friend got me one of those calendars, but a Scottish Kilts one. It's a delight to open up each month. Bought myself a James Hill (Celebrity Big Brother winner) 2017 calendar before finding this out, so wake up to two hot guys every day

I'm not actually sure how keen I am to show off myself shirtless too much. Quite private like that

Soo over this past weekend I had sex with a straight bestfriend, he tells me to just forget about it because he was really drunk, which is hard to do because he know I've been pretty much crushing on him hard for a long time. I've read so much shit about every gay person falling for a straight person, but it really doesn't help that we had sex. I feel so angry with the world for putting me in this position, also him technically being my first is killing me. What do I do?

Sis, no straight men! Period! It doesn't matter if you guys had sex, you have to realize as soon as possible that he is just not an option for you. There are so many other men out there willing to fall for you that are actually into men! I know it's super hard but you have to realize he is not the one for you. He is not gonna change for you. If he's straight now, he's probably gonna be straight tomorrow so you're gonna have to pack it in and move on. Easier said then done I know.

Also listen to Dua Lipa's "New Rules" on repeat it'll help!

Was he actually drunk or is that just an excuse? Also, were you drunk?

Honestly, your best bet is to try to put him out of mind. That doesn't mean stop being his friend, but what that experience meant to you clearly isn't what it meant to him. There's no real way to change his mind, and although you may want to try to make him see things your way, you'll be fighting a losing battle. As difficult as it may be, you'll be doing yourself a favor by looking at the value of your friendship as it is - a friendship - and moving on to others who will be able to provide you with a more intimate connection.

EDIT: Also, hello Klappdrachen. :)

Yep, we've all been there... If you have any semblance of self-control, try to forget about him.

Yes, we have all been there, more or less. Just try to have fun, meet new people, date, have sex, just live your life and you will get over him fast. But if you keep thinking about him, not engaging with other people because of him etc., that shit is gonna hunt you for years (been there) and it's just absolutely not worth it, because he can't give you what your heart desires.

See that's the problem, it's been years and we both agreed to stay friends, like he's literally my best friend. I was getting over it, then we have sex it just fucking me up because I never expected it to happen.

Perhaps you need to put some space between the two of you. Not permanently, just long enough for you to put things in perspective, clear your head. You might not make the best decisions otherwise.

Don't stay friends with him, that shit doesn't work. You can't be friends with someone you have feelings for... well, it's possible, but it's still just not healthy. Is he really such a good friend, or are your feelings keeping you close to him?

edit:
Forgot to post about myself

  • Your sexual orientation? Gay
  • Where Are You From? Germany

  • Profession or Career interest? Worked for a long time in a firm that did real estate, decided to study few years ago. Now i am studying computer science, in my fifth semester, and Stochastik is kinda killing me right now xD
  • What are your hobbies (other than gaming)? ResetEra, and other than that i don't really have time for hobbies

At the ripe old age of 33 I still fall for straight guys and still think "oh maybe they might actually be gay, maybe something will happen between us"


I am a terrible person and a terrible gay :(
