The first time and the last time I tried meth i got a three hour bj from my girlfriend at the time.
Been on it for two years now and I’m a doctor surgeon. Gay gym freak. I tried it cuz I was curious and now I don’t even get horny unless I’m on it. Serious sh!t and no I haven’t stopped yet.
It's just brotherly love, not attraction, not even emotional attraction. 😅😅😅
This might sound crazy but I wish more people would post such honest stories like this. Everyone posts about the good things in their lives but almost never about the bad. I wish we had a social media platform where you post your failures and mistakes lol
My married business partner had a crush on me for 4 years. Even wife and his parents knew. But I was attached. Is definitely romantic and allowed to go beyond that. He even want me to adopt his children.
thanks for documenting ur experience,.im glad u moved on,.
I think I have b.p.d I'm 45 yo gay male w adhd
I try twice this year n I need some
Hey, I am bisexual but I am unable to develop attractions to men. I have been stuck dating women while hiding my sexuality. I want to date men and become gay since then I wouldn’t need to “come out” all the time. So how do I get into guys?
My story is similar to yours, as far as how I ran into Tina. I'm afraid to get formally diagnosed as an adult, but I did ride the short bus for the first two years of grade school. Whatever I may or use to have must not have been debilitating, but regardless. Anyways I was in a similar situation as you. Gone through a breakup, it was hard times for me personally. I was roaming the Internet looking for strange. Found me a cute trans lady; we meet up and she already had it on her, offers it and I smoke. She didn't call it meth, and I didn't catch the slang she used. I had my suspicions, but she actually did seem well put together so I trusted her. I only ever do Tina with her, and I've seen her maybe 7 times in the last 2 years. I didn't even know for a fact that it was Tina until yesterday. I think why I wasnt able to separate the drug use from the social interaction with her may have been the lack of alcohol, I couldn't tell you. I don't feel a need to do it, in fact I always feel sick afterwards. But it's good in the moment, you're right lol
First of all, straight men are not interested in gay men, romantically, or sexually And don't really want to hear the tired old "spectrum" argument. I understand that. Sexuality does exist along on a spectrum. But if a man falls anywhere along that spectrum where he has any interest in guys, he is not straight. He is at the least bi. I know it's a dream for gay men to conquer the straight man, but sorry, it ain't happening. If you conquered him, he wasn't straight. Straight men exist at the end of the spectrum where they like women only. Anything removed from that they move into the bisexual realm on that spectrum. As for romance? Gays? Romantic? Very few. Most fall into the wham bam, thank you, man realm. They'll talk up romance, they'll talk up finding and wanting the right man. But how many do? A good portions of those who claim they have found him you come to find out they have open relationships. Nothing romantic about that. I can see why a straight-ACTING bi guy who is living a "straight" lifestyle might crush on a bi or gay men. Because a part of them already likes men (which means they are not straight). But it's not about crushing. It's about sex. And they know there is zero commitment. It's only about sex. And they know the gay dude will be an easy mark. Simply by strutting up to him and saying 'I'm STRAIGHT!' And that's all it takes for the "straight" man to get what he wants from the gay (or bi) dude. Then the gay dude can run to the internet and tell everyone he slept with a "straight" guy. These "straight" men are not looking for anything romantic. Once they've satiated the gay part of who they are, it's back to the little lady, and his 2.5. kids. Which will bring back the bisexual aspect of who he is. But he is not straight. The spectrum tells us that.
Really good point! I was an Army chaplain and counselor and had a number of times with a soldier in my office who met someone at a pick up place and then wanted to get married. Sometimes it was just a matter of days! Korea was the worst.
Thata how you catch an STD 🎉 gross
I second this!!!❤
You did a damn good job! How I can relate!!
If you have a crush on another dude, you're not straight
Agree 💯
Not to be rude but are you gay? No disrespect , my senses are telling me
Sorry just got two minutes in

“The first 50 times I tried meth....”. 😂😂😂
I have tried meth yesterday because i thought it was fun for one time and right now I'm having the worst withdrawals i have ever had
I tried it and do not understand the hype. You feel kinda good for like maybe 6 hours then you feel like absolute dogshite for the rest of the day. It's not even that great of a high for the garbage comedown that comes after it.
So a Straight Guy Can Have a Crush on a Gay Guy? like How??
It can happen in some rare cases but yeah it's true, as he said in rare cases, you(straight guy)get drawn towards his(gay guy's) personality, charisma etc to the point that you feel you two are on the same page yet have many different views representing antagonistic seasons still you accept and vibe with those as well. And yeah it takes time to develop and overtime with romantic interest sexual attraction follows automatically.
While romantic and sexual attraction can be mutually exclusive, sexual orientation involves either of those components. For example, a guy can be a virgin yet know he is straight be cause he feels romantic attractions. So if a guy crushes on another guy, the guy is either gay or bi.
My neighbor smokes meth and he said he was gonna eat my dog Amy the dog disappeared..
This makes so much sense! I always feel romantically attracted to people first before I develop a sexual attraction.
I have a history of “bromances”. Straight guy friends who find themselves having feelings for me and our friendship that they cannot explain. I’m a coward though so many times the opportunity for intimacy would appear. BUT I’m clear that I wouldn’t want to risk a negative reaction. Sooooo if I opened up someone’s mind and heart…..then it’s a good thing.
Yes!! The risk of a negative outcome from these dynamics frightens me too.
Damn, second channel I found today that stopped posting years ago. There's a serious shortage of BPD men channels.
Thanks so much ! U taught me and I learned what you revealed !!! I feel so blessed 🥹 👍
I am gay and have str8 friends I find myself drawn to and it's definitely not a sexual thing. I don't say a thing because I want nothing misinterpreted. We have have things in common and enjoy each other company when having lunch or something like that.
I WANT A SHOT
Me two I need a plug
i tried meth because i couldnt afford cocaine anymore, so far i dont like it near as much as cocaine,
Reminds me of the same effects Quaaludes would produce. Zero inhibitions about anything. But you would end up going to sleep with them.
Leo if you still get this notifications I just want to tell you that I love love loved this msg, especially towards the end where you spoke about taking care of the person you find you're attracted to. 😊❤
thank you for this educational information, its good to speak of it to raise awareness to prevent not knowing being the reason why you do a very bad drug. its easy to reason that if someone else does something to do the same.
Ok so i just tried it earlier today. Feeling powerful. Got a lot of work done. Teeth grinding stuff. Probably wont do it more than once a year or so like coke & speed. How bads the comedown?
How are you? Sending love and safety ❤
@@vanessa_42 great! I survived. The comedown wasn't as bad as I expected. Had a lot of fun, played music, danced, hit golf balls with a new level of concentration.
So it makes you horny, but it also makes you impotent, sounds like a waste of time.
Hey i thought I was this straight guy but at this point I figure I'm at least mildly bisexual. Either way I love bonding with people deep friendships and cuddling. I'm sooo lonely
I have done meth many times. It was impulsive. I wouldn't say I stopped because I'm on it right now. Honestly a guy just told me to snort this white powder and hit this crack pipe looking thing so I did. I texted my friend I just hit crack or meth or something. Then I asked what it was he explained. He said clear I didn't know what that was. He said crystal and I was dumb so I stared at him like crystal what. And he said meth. Shit made me TOO honest and open and never shut up. Typing long rants online (like this). Telling STRANGERS i was on meth just because I felt so talkative and social. Shit
I feel like that's a major reason all sorts of LGBT people use meth--it erases shame and anxiety and replaces it with talkativeness and confidence.
Thank you for being so open about this because I know the level of stigma is so intense.
I’m sure you can be sexually attracted to someone’s personality though. You can for example find their humor attractive but not feel a deep romantic connection.
I did it once or twice in New York..was nothing special but then again I'm not really receptive to any kind of drug ..I just find this stuff boring, much rather have a couple of cold ones. At least it tastes nice
Homosexuality is just as wrong as drug use. I was born with the urge to sleep with more than one person, but I don’t cheat because it’s wrong. You can be born with a drive to do something, but the drive is still wrong. You need to turn to Jesus. He doesn’t care how many times you’ve screwed up, he can save you and he loves you.
You sound like a demisexual empath. That’s me too. Not focused on lust or sex necessarily, but the quality of the relationship.The timing of this video was spot on for me. I have been romantically drawn to my best friend for years but didn’t know how to understand the seeming conflict. We both tell each other “Love you” and have great hugs and times spent together. I have been confused about this until recently when i realized i have romantic feelings for him but i don’t want to have sex with him. Thanks for sharing this. I want both of us to feel more comfortable in this “bromance” thing we got going on. I too am more romantic than lustful. Not that lust is bad but isn’t appropriated for most relationships that matter.
I think about that all the time. I’m a very nurturing kind of person, even though I am a man and if I find a man attractive I’m also more inclined to think about taking care of them than having sex with them. I want to help them be their best self and have a positive outlook and mindset in life.
He’s bisexual
Your wife will probably reject u if she get to know your homoromantic aspect.
My friends and I have a running joke that at every party we’re at, some straight boy “will go gay” for me or that I “turn them out”. It sucks because I want a boyfriend or I’d even settle for sex, and these straight men are just curious but not too curious. They always either just wanna talk about me and my experiences being gay, or they’d go as far as kissing me, holding my hand, cuddling, etc. And I hate that I attract these types of men because I end up developing crushes on straight men who are bi when they’re drunk
They have the expression "beer googles" for a reason. I've known straight guys to get lovey with other straight guys when drunk, straight women with other straight women or lesbians and even straight women and gay men. It'n not that they are genuinely sexually attracted to the other person, it's just the drink. Some people can get mega h*rny when drunk and can sleep with anything. That's why many straight men can be turned out when drunk and women sleep with some of the ugliest men they end up regretting sleeping with the next day. Many straight men know women are easier to sleep with when drunk and some take advantage because their inhibition is down. So for gay men who make a hobby out of trying to turn out straight men when drunk might get s*x out of it, but it's very unlikely they will get a relationship out of it unless he turns out to be bisexual or a closet gay. Even if they are a closet gay or bisexual though, unless they are willing to come out and date you openly then you should set boundaries around that if that's not what you are looking for. There's plenty of gay men out the closet and living life openly gay for you to waste time on those who aren't willing to do the same. If a man say's he's straight and you are expecting a full blown relationship with him then you only have yourself to blame for building a false fantasy in your own mind, especially when the same thing keeps happening over and over and you have still not learned your lesson. No point in developing full blown crushes on straight men and wishing it could be different because it's not going to change reality. I'm sure gay men would give the same advice to any woman who was crushing on a gay man hoping he's going to just wake up straight one day.
Absolutely dude. I’m a queer 35 year in Canada. Back from 12 years-stateside. Was in NYC, LA, San Francisco and did a 6 month stint in Tokyo.
