    Dad asks the internet for advice after seeing his son kiss his “best friend”

    After seeing his son kiss another lad in town, one dad took to Reddit to ask on how he should speak to him about it.

    He laid out the situation like this,

    “I saw my son (16) kissing his “best friend”. I didn’t tell my wife because she will probably hate him because of it but how could I? I really love him he’s my son after all and I don’t mind him being gay.

    My question is how can I help him when he comes out and should I tell him to hold it back with his mom?”

    Well, let’s just hold on a minute there as we refreeze our melted hearts. This guy might be up for dad of the year award.

    Never ones to fail, guys of the AskGayMen forum, did not hold back on their advice.

    Don’t confront…

    With one suggesting that the dad didn’t “confront him” and that the boy would “tell you when he’s ready… but maybe you can work it into a conversation that you’re okay with it”

    While another suggested that being subtle was everyone’s friend, “just be a lot more subtle than you initially think. It’s probably front and centre in his mind, so he will be very sensitive to the subject”.

    While another echoed. “If I were your son I wouldn’t want to be confronted (that’s just me tho) if I’m not ready to come out I don’t want others outing me, imo you should create a supportive environment and low-key and subtly let your son know that you are lgbtq+ supportive”.

    Confronting the homophobes

    Confronting homophobes and homophobia in a public setting was suggested by the commentators, to show that he was supportive of the gay community.

    On the subject of his wife, one user suggested that the dad should “confront people who say homophobic things or at the very least say you disagree and explain your position. This will show your son that he doesn’t have to be afraid of talking about these kinds of things with you.”

    The dad replied, “I never said anything against it. But I’ll definitely do it the next time.”

    Total. Winner.

  • Gay Dating | What does DP mean?

    Gay Dating | What does DP mean?

    Decoding DP – if you see “DP” in someone’s dating or Grindr profile, here is what it means.

    Simply put it means Double Penetration.

    Yes, that’s two cocks up your bum. Not for the faint-hearted and probably only for a guy who is an experienced bottom.

    He’ll probably need quite a bit of prep time and a lot of warming up with a lot of foreplay. Remember not to rush the experience and take your time.

    Oh and with any kind of anal sex, don’t forget the lube, go for a long-lasting lube, like a silicone-based lube, which is less tacky than water-based lube and generally lasts much longer without drying out.

  • FILM REVIEW | Oliver Sacks: His Own Life – A life well-lived

    FILM REVIEW | Oliver Sacks: His Own Life – A life well-lived

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    The late Oliver Sacks was a very fascinating man. Learn more about him in the upcoming documentary Oliver Sacks: His Own Life.

    Sacks was not just a scientist and neurologist, he also wrote dozens and dozens of books including best sellers, was a master in his field, greatly respected, became a celebrity later in life, and he was also gay. 

    Sacks grew up in an upper-middle-class family in Cricklewood, London. Both his parents were doctors – so it was almost a natural that he’d be a doctor. But it wasn’t until his older brother Michael was diagnosed schizophrenic, an illness that affected the whole family but Oliver more so, that Sacks future was sealed. Going to medical school in Oxford, then to America where he took up residency in San Francisco is when his true self came out – a man with a motorbike dressed in head to toe leather. But while he was taking care of patients with severe neurological issues (stunning footage shows him with patients with neurological diseases and oddities) – Sacks never really found love or romance. His mother vehemently objected to his homosexuality but she also turned into a champion of his while he spent a summer writing a book at his childhood home. But her death affected him greatly, and after he turned 40 he remained celibate for the next 35 years. 

    Quite a bit of footage of Sacks is of him in his West Village apartment surrounded by staff, friends, etc. His personality comes through in these moments like a bright red sunset – with his charming laugh, unique British accent and sparkle in his eye that will win you over. He won Bill Hayes over – at age 75 Sacks and Hayes (20 years younger) remained together until Sacks death in 2015 at the age of 83. It’s a happy relationship to the end of an amazing life led by a man who changed medical science and at the same time opened our eyes to it. Director Ric Burns really captures the life and times of Sacks, especially of his final years of being with Hayes.
