A subreddit to ask questions for men who have sex with men


If you have a question for gay men or men who have sex with men, ask away.


MOD NOTE: We do not allow studies or surveys in this little sub. Sorry :c

If we did, surveys would likely outweigh actual posts.


Rules (more like guidelines...)

  1. No douchebaggery. No hate. No judgement. All curiosity.

  2. Try not to be overly graphic with your questions. Questions about sex are welcome, but this isn't a sub for gushingly detailed erotica.

  3. Try the search bar just in case your question has already been answered!

  4. Gay men answering questions: Be nice. A bit of sass is fine now and then, but don't be a dick. See also: Rule 1.

  5. Bi / Trans Men are welcome here.

We rely on the report tool, so if there's an issue with a post or a comment flag it for us so someone sees it and can address it. We may not remove or ban someone over a report, but we do review them all.

Where do you think homophobia truly comes from?

Where does homophobia truly come from?

Religion has definitely shaped certain cultures and influenced laws that ended up being pretty discriminatory. But where did homophobia even come from within religion? If we agree that humans wrote religious texts, why doesn’t anyone point out this simple fact… that when a straight woman has feelings for a guy for example, it’s the same type of emotions that a gay man feels for another guy. Attraction, connection, and desire aren’t different just because of someone’s orientation; they’re just part of being human. Just like a woman being a secretary is no different to a man being a secretary. The role is the same.

Of course some people argue that heterosexuality is “natural” because it leads to having kids, but that doesn’t really hold up as a reason for discriminating. Not all straight couples want kids, and not all of them can have them. Plus, people form relationships for all kinds of reasons beyond having children—companionship, love, shared goals, etc.

That’s why I can’t wrap my head around the hypocrisy of homophobia, especially considering how widely accepted it still was even in the early 2000s.

Would you know how to please a woman?

Yesterday I had a conversation with one of my best female straightish friends. She complained about men not knowing how to please women and also being resistant to specific instructions on how to do so. I've never had sex with a woman, but of course I've heard a lot about the topic of straight sex anyways, so I told her how I would do it if I had to and she said I was pretty much spot on with my description. So I wondered, how prevalent knowledge about straight sex is among gay men.

So here's the question: for those of you who have never had sex with a woman, how would you go about pleasing her during penetrative vaginal sex?

Edit: Maybe the title is a bit off. I wanted you guys to describe how you would do it and / or what not to do.

Is it normal to have a lot of fluid during anal play?

Last night, I stuck the dildo to the wall and had some fun with it, but then I noticed a lot of fluid were leaking out when I plug the dildo out of my ass. It was almost like squirting, but from the back. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

There was no blood or discomfort at all. I didn't even use much lube, but the fluid was almost like water—clear, odorless, and even had a slightly pleasant scent.

How can I put myself out there?

(sorry if this is posted poorly/incorrectly. This is my first time posting on Reddit)

I am a 16-year-old gay guy, I am only out to a bunch of friends my age but have the attitude of if somebody asks me, I don’t have any reason to lie. I feel like I am a hopeless, romantic at heart. I love the idea of romance and have for a very long time, but only for the past couple years have been comfortable enough with my sexuality to seriously consider dating.

I’m not really looking for sex, it sounds nice, but I would only want to do it with a guy I really cared about. I just want to know how to meet people, even if it doesn’t result in getting a boyfriend just making more LGBT friends would be great especially other LGBT guys. I love the friend group I have but as the only guy in the group I feel like sometimes there’s stuff I can’t relate to my friends about.

(sorry if this is a dumb ramble or question I just feel like Im stuck thinking about all of this with no idea what I should do)

How to find less judgmental gay dudes?

I’m 22 and I’m pansexual and I like to have fun sexually, but also find a long term partner.

The issue is despite all that, a lot of guys and girls rejecting me so many times because how young my face looks.

I tried changing my appearance and at least make adjustments to show that I am mature, but constantly rejected.

I hate how young I look especially comparing to other guys at my age who look older

How do I find a serious relationship?

I'm 17 as of September and l've wanted a relationship for a while. Problem is I live In a very conservative state. l've found it hard in high school finding a gay people in high school who aren't super flamboyant or out there. My therapist said that in order to get myself out there I need to get out of my comfort zone and be more open about my thoughts and find things to do that i actually enjoy. I'm making steps in doing that by un-privating my accounts and sharing more things pro-gbt. Most of my friends on Facebook for example are very maga-ish type people and they haven't said anything so idk if it's changing anything. I don't know what I'm getting at here toh. I do really think that I have confidence issues and when I see someone I think is attractive, I think "how would they ever be attracted to someone like me"? I mean people say I'm "cute" but I really don't see it. I do think porn has really changed my body image. I've scrolled on tinder for a while on a blank profile and I literally saw my dream man and now I just can't really get over the fact that he's 20 and l'd never really be able to get with him (at least for 9 months). I just don't know how to not always be thinking about being in a relationship. I want to focus on myself but I really don't know how to.

Do all of these fit in together?

How to deal with feeling jealous? How to deal with feeling unliked? Why do I always feel I’m not wanted? How to be more likable? How can I be more genuine?

How to fix RBF without forcing it?

To those of you that are out, what do you think of dl guys?

I’m dl bi, but I have no friends I can really open up to about this part of me, and I can’t come out otherwise my entire life would crumble (I’m not even exaggerating) and the risk of that is just too high to tell anyone I know

I’m on Grindr and stuff and I try to be friendly when I talk to me people but other dl guys just want to fuck and nothing else, many of them don’t want to talk to me if it isn’t about meeting so I guess they’re not like me (in that they just want fun which I do want but I also want some friends too) which is fine I guess. And then the gay guys either want to white knight me and convince me to embrace myself and stuff (I had a guy decide to block me today because I said I don’t want to come out which kind of hurt a little coz we were talking for a few days at this point and I did make myself clear from the beginning).

I guess I just wanted to see what u guys actually think about dl guys (generally speaking), since it seems no one really wants to know me, whether they are dl or gay :/

I also want to add that I’m not some out and proud gay hater in the day time, I have some friends who are openly bi and stuff but I couldnt trust them as far as I could throw them lol

First time in a gay sauna, any advice?

Just for context, I’m a vers bottom (but never toped), twink and hairless masc and tall, I’m a good looking guy but not a Greek god or something. There’s quite a while that I’m willing to go to my town’s gay sauna, but I’m very shy and introvert, which means that I hardly will approach some guy there, but also don’t have anyone to come with, and the reason I haven’t come yet is that

  1. I don’t know shit about what is in there, like what happens there or what should I bring or wear.
  2. As I said, I’m not good at starting conversations, but I can keep it, so I’m afraid of just be there alone, and I don’t think that find a guy on Grindr there will be easy
  3. Those places were I live are quite expansive, and I don’t want to burn my money for nothing

I want to go there to meet some people, have fun, drink, and (why not) have a good sex, maybe even a theesome (even though I know I may not be ready for two top) So, if some of you guys could share past experiences and tips, it would help a lot! (I think it’s relevant to say that I don’t have any problems with body image or something, but I’m not 100% comfortable with the idea of being naked all the time in “public spaces”)

How far did you go for someone?

Maybe did some certain things or sacrificed something or even things that might seem irrelevant for others but matters for you at least…

How to get over anxiety or cancel a hookup?

Hey guys, don’t have anyone to talk to about this so im taking it to Reddit. Long story short I’m 19 and met this guy on Grindr about 2 days ago and we’re planned to meet at his house this coming Thursday, and I am fucking terrified. I’ve hooked up anonymously once before and it was how I lost my virginity, and don’t know if doing it again is what I really want. We’ve done the whole sex talk and face pics thing and he’s really attractive, but I just can’t get excited for it.

All I can think about are the negatives of a hookup or being a some random guys random house on a random Thursday. I really don’t want to do it anymore but I don’t want to make him mad or upset with me if I don’t want to hookup. How can I get over this anxiety and not wanting to have sex anymore?

Some ideas for sexy gifts?

Hey guys I (32) am making a advent calendar (24 little gifts before christmas, one each day from 1st december until the 24th, i am not sure if it is a german thing or quite common internationally) for my boyfriend (33). It is the fifth year I am preparing one for him, so I am running out of fresh ideas.

I am interested in what you all would appreciate to get in such a calender? Especially some sexy stuff /inspiration to spice up winter time. Feel free to put forward anything from fancy sweets, to wellness stuff, sexual adventures, sex toys or cozy trips/events. Nothing to expensive.

How do I learn to be better at sex and get honest feedback while also not obsessing over it?

I'd love some thoughts on this as it's a touchy subject for me and I need some honesty.

Ive got a whole thing about doing things 'right'. I guess that's the perfectionist in me which I'm trying to work on figuring out. Still, point being, sex is one of those weird activities where you both 'can' and 'cant' do it wrong.

Some guys like being sucked with a lot of tongue, some like suction. Some guys are loud quiet or neither and the other guy likes or dislikes it. Etc etc etc. And with how honesty seems to be lately, people will say 'oh yeah great hookup 10/10' then dissappear which makes me personally worry 'did I do a bad job?'

So... What do you all think?

Non-gen z gay men, what would you consider an average time to come out?

Let me explain what I mean

I’m Gen z myself and I first came out when I was 16 which to me feels a little late because I knew I was gay since I was 11

However, whenever I discuss this with the millennials and gen x people in my life they all laugh at me because to them it’s extremely early

So I’m curious, because I know most of y’all aren’t gen z, what would you consider an average age to come out?

Anyone can help me ?

Hello. New here, I’m a 28 male. Always had problems with bottoming. Douching was a possibility, but sometimes you just want to have fun with someone at a certain point of the day, and I don’t wanna worry about things… Two months ago, I decided to start taking fiber, which helped for a month, after that the same started to happening. Start taking two pills a day, 500mg each, not much difference. I have ibs and I take prep, read online that maybe taking both at the same time, the fiber and prep… internet only confuses more then it helps, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?

Thank you

Have you ever lost the desire or interest in continuing hooking up with someone? How did you proceed?

To make it short, I met a guy on Grindr a few weeks ago. Since then, we've had sex twice, but our schedules often don't match up. He always calls me late at night in the middle of the week, and I need to sleep to work and study the following days. I feel uncomfortable rejecting his invitations because I know how frustrating it can be sometimes not to reciprocate the person's arousal, but also, every time we meet up, it's the same dynamic: every time we link up, he needs to smoke weed to get more turned on, and it lasts three minutes and I got a little tired of it. Like, I think I'm not the kind of perfect hookup for him. However, he keeps inviting me come over.

Has anything similar happened to you?

What does this sound like?

I had oral sex a day ago with a guy who was visiting. Before we met I was very adamant on did he have anything so I kept asking before we met, and each time he said no. Now today I have a really sore throat with a white spot in the back and my nose and mouth seems really dry when I breathe through my nose. I’ve had this feeling before twice with one guy and was so paranoid I got tested both times came back negative. Does this sound/look like any oral std? Pictures on profile.

How to use ‘the’ dating app as a not overly ‘out’ individual?

I’m out to a select few of my friends, most of them probably assume anyway but I’m having inner turmoil whilst using grindr. I have met up with a few people off the app whilst I was in a different living situation (I currently live in a house with 6 friends, and I used to live on college in a single room). Now that I have housemates I am super scared to meet up with people from grindr, mostly because I’m very close with my housemates and we have each other on find my friends, but I’m not at the stage where I am openly gay and feel comfortable going to hookup with someone and then coming back and having to lie or evade the truth. Truthfully, I am craving meeting up with a few people from the app (I am not someone who will hookup with someone on a whim), however I am too scared to host and too scared to leave my house because my friends will know (please don’t suggest removing them from find my friends because that is super shady in itself and something I wouldn’t do). So I am wondering how to go about this situation. Should I get off the app or is there another solution.

Is it weird i didn't get hard while doing naughty stuff with my date?

Yesterday me and this guy who i have been hanging out with tried having sex (no penetration) as its our first time and we both are virgins so we decided take it very slow. So im going down on him and sucking him off, i get excited because i was loving every minute of it but my dick wasnt hard like a literal jelly. And even when we was done doing it i wasnt hard. He just came and we stopped.

I dont know why i couldnt get hard even though i liked everything about it. Was it the adrenaline or i was nervous during it.

He's a top so i dont think he minds it that much im just glad he was rock hard. So do you guys also experienced things like this especially during your first times?

QUESTION - Do you wish you were straight?

Hey guys! I am a gay 20M. I've never been sexually attracted to women. I'm 100% gay.

But, so often, whenever I think about my future aspirations and goals, like relationships—more especially the serious relationships—I always imagine myself with a woman. Not because of sexual attractiveness (obviously), but because I feel like I would truly be happier and connect better with a girl. It's like a connection I can't describe that being with a male wouldn't give me... ever. And so whenever I picture myself growing old and having a family with someone, it's always with a woman, never a man.

There are so many days that go by where I always imagine being in a straight relationship, and it makes me truly happy. But I'm gay, so why?? I'd be suppressing my sexuality!

I hate that I was born gay!!! I really wish I were straight!! I just want to ask you all, is anyone else in the same boat as me? Either you only want to be with a woman despite being 100% gay, or just wishing all the time that you're straight and not gay?
