So we know about ghosting and we know how to spot a fuckboy, what happens when you put the two together, well, you get something truly hellish. Welcome to Zombie-ing.
Ghosting is where a guy you’ve been chatting to on an app, or even have hooked up with, simply doesn’t return your messages or calls. Not even a tag… After a while, you think to yourself, ‘hmm, okay, it’s done and dusted, it’s time to move on’ – good for you, but with Zombie-ing that bastard, comes back to life, without warning and starts sliding into your DMs, phoning, texting, or Grindr messages you like he was never away.
There you are, watching the latest series of The Crown, yep, we see you Crown Queens, on Netflix, when ping, a DM comes in from a guy you hooked up with before the Coronavirus stopped our collective dating / hook up life back in March… Except as soon as lockdown came into force, he stopped messaging you completely. Yep, he ghosted you. Now months on. He’s back. Like a zombie out of The Walking Dead and he’s wanting your boy brains (okay that metaphor doesn’t work).
So what’s the difference between a Ghost and a Zombie?
Well, according to Cosmo a Zombie is kind of like an upgrade (or actual downgrade depending on your view) from a ghost. Gabi Conti writes, “Ghosting is when someone vanishes and you never hear from them. A true ghost will never reach out to you again in any form. If they do, then congrats: Your ghost has just upgraded themselves into a zombie.”
Why are guys Zombie-ing?
[totalpoll id=”126612″]
Well, we going out on a limb here and going to say that Zombie-ing is happening because he’s bored AF or has run out of other guys willing to put up with his shit. With lockdowns in place all over the world, guys will be finding willing sex partners limiting, so maybe he’s going back over his old flings and seeing who will reconnect.
So should you reconnect with a Zombie?
Well, man, that’s totally up to you, but first, what are you going to get out of this reconnection? You really gotta put yourself first. Even if the D was really, really good.
You should consider what happened in your relationship before he first ghosted you and then remember how pissed you were with him when he did that. Remember that? Yeah, so not cool.
Remember apologies are just words and its actions that really speak, so if he really wants to get back in your good books, make him prove it.
If you’re cool with just a hookup or a booty call (once lockdown is over) then go for it, you’ve got nothing to lose.
Post-pandemic, many of us have found ourselves feeling more lonely than we ever have. Sure, we may have more ways to connect than ever before, but let’s face it, Grindr chats and Zoom meetings can only go so far.
A recent survey of 2000 adults conducted by Santander UK showed that around a fifth of people are feeling increasingly isolated during the pandemic. While 14% of people worry that they have lost friends forever due to not being able to meet with them.
Currently, a fifth of the population live alone and 38 per cent currently feel lonely – 14 per cent more than those who reside with someone else.
Being LGBT+ can also exacerbate loneliness issues, with many feeling that they already live on the periphery of society, so a question posed recently on Reddit revealed how some gay guys are dealing with their loneliness.
Passing the time with entertainment
If I’m feeling lonely I read books. TONS OF BOOKS. It puts me in the characters lives and it usually makes me feel better. VIA
Another added,
I tend to throw myself at hobbies. Biggest one right now is reading but I also build models. Another big one is art. I’ve been challenging myself to draw dumb stuff but only with a pen. This way if I mess up, I have to figure a way to incorporate it into the drawing. It’s pretty fun actually. VIA
Do more of what makes you happy
Take the time to focus on yourself and what makes you happy, besides having a snuggle partner or boyfriend. Find things that make you, the individual, happy, like photography, hiking, writing or cooking for example. When you find things that you enjoy, you’ll realize that when someone does come along, he’ll be an addition to your happiness and not your only reason for happiness. VIA
I’m lucky enough to live close to a really some incredible county parks systems and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland, OH. It’s not anything special, we’re not talking the Pacific Northwest or the Rockys, but it’s a quiet large outdoor space I go to when I’m lonely or upset. It feels like MY special place. Running really changed my life. I go maybe 7 or 8 miles and then if I’m still feeling rough or have more time to kill, I’ll go for a hike after but definitely didn’t start at that rate. VIA
Loneliness the new hunger?
Loneliness is like hunger, it’s your mind’s way of letting you know that you need to socialize. VIA
Don’t allow loneliness to be all-consuming
Seeking companionship is important, but, you shouldn’t allow it to destroy you. Even in a relationship, these views can break you apart. You may want to find the source. Finding why you feel this way is an important step. Don’t use your phone before bed or watch tv late, it will help you with sleep. I’ve constantly felt that way in the past, feeling empty and lonely, it’s just a moment, it will pass. Find you. VIA
It’s one of those questions that many of us get asked from curious people, both gay and straight alike.
Inquisitive straight people might want to know how you came to the conclusion that you fancied people from the same sex.
Other gay and bi guys might just want to compare their story with yours. For so many gay and bi people there are hardly any LGBT+ narratives on mainstream TV programming, particularly for kids or teens – so it can be much harder to come to terms with, or recognise your feelings and their validity when there’s nothing to compare it to.
When asked, most guys say they knew quite early on in their lives… Do you remember when?
You make eye contact with other men and it’s like a lightning bolt shoots down your body from your brain to your cock. [via]
I knew I was 100% gay when I made out with a guy for the first time. It felt right was sooooo much hotter than kissing a girl. [via]
Searching “free gay porn” or “am I gay test” [via]
For me was around 8-10 yo. My male friends would talk about the hot mamas and I couldn’t relate. I only had eyes to the moustache daddies. I wanted them to hold me and kiss me. [via]
Realizing I wanted to spend all my time with one guy friend. Particularly loved wrestling with him. [via]
I remember walking into a men’s locker room when I was a kid (around 9) and definitely something clicked at that moment. [via]
I knew before I even knew there was such thing. I was probably 5 years old. It’s just a feeling you get. You just know. [via]

Did you know there are many gay cruising and dogging grounds in Glasgow?
Glasgow and its surrounding areas is home to several cruising and dogging grounds, did that surprise you?
Whether you love or loathe the idea of anonymous outdoor gay sex, it’s hard to escape the fact that gay cruising grounds are all around us.
You probably don’t even know, but from where you’re sitting or standing right now there’s probably a cruising or dogging ground just metres away from you in Glasgow, and they’re a hangover from more homophobic times in the UK. At our last count, there were at least six known cruising grounds in Glasgow and surrounding areas. The most popular are Yorkhill Park and Greyfriars Road.
Although we can’t say for sure, something has to be said about how the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown has affected the way in which gay, bi and curious men get sex. With saunas and bathhouses closed for the best part of three months, many more are yet to still open, guys who can’t, or don’t want to accommodate in their own homes are looking to other places. One of those will be outdoor venues.
Where did gay cruising come from?
Gay cruising is not a new phenomenon. It dates back to when sex between men was illegal in the UK. Finding a place where two men could be intimate with each other without too many questions being raised was tricky until it was realised that men’s public toilets were a perfect place.
These were named cottages because they actually used to look like quaint little cottages.
The act of finding sex in these public conveniences became known as “cottaging“.
The sex between men who would frequent a cottage would usually be anonymous. Gloryholes, a hole drilled between stalls in public toilets became a way in which this sex could remain faceless.
To this day there are loads of cottages and cruising grounds in Glasgow
Generally speaking, not a lot of talking goes on when cruising. A series of looks and gestures would let others know what you were up to. At urinals, guys would stand, playing with themselves subtly to let others know that they were up for some play. Then if the feeling is mutual the pair could make their way to a cubicle for more privacy.
At cruising grounds, much of the same would happen, except the action took place away from public footpaths.
Is Cottaging Legal in the UK?
Cottaging is illegal in the United Kingdom under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and applies to both heterosexual and homosexual acts.
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 doesn’t say however that sex in a public place is illegal. Cruising grounds and cottaging are two different spaces. Cruising grounds are defined as open spaces, where men can hook up with men, or straight couples can meet for sex (often referred to as dogging), as long as no members of the public can see you.
You risk being arrested if reported by a member of the public. If this happens you have the right to legal advice from an on-duty solicitor at the police station. If convicted you could be sentenced to 6 months in prison and /or a fine.
Did you know there are many gay cruising and dogging grounds in Edinburgh?

Preventing HIV transmission involves adopting a combination of strategies to reduce the risk of exposure. Here are some of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent HIV:
Use Condoms: Consistent and correct use of condoms during sexual intercourse can significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission. Male and female condoms are readily available and provide a barrier against the virus.
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis):PrEP is a medication taken by HIV-negative individuals to prevent infection. It is highly effective when taken as prescribed and can be a useful prevention tool, especially for those at higher risk.
Limit Sexual Partners: Reducing the number of sexual partners can lower the risk of exposure to HIV. Knowing your partner’s HIV status and discussing sexual health openly can help make informed decisions.
Regular Testing: Knowing your own and your partner’s HIV status is crucial. Regular testing allows for early detection, enabling timely access to treatment and preventing further transmission. There is at-home testing now which is easy to do. See our at-home HIV Testing review here.
Avoid Sharing Needles or Syringes: If you use drugs, avoid sharing needles or syringes, as this can increase the risk of HIV transmission. Use clean needles and sterile injection equipment.
Use Sterile Instruments for Tattoos and Piercings: Ensure that any instruments used for tattoos, piercings, or other body modifications are sterile and properly cleaned to prevent the risk of HIV transmission.
Educate Yourself: Stay informed about HIV transmission and prevention methods. Understanding the virus and its modes of transmission can empower individuals to make informed choices about their sexual health.
Kick Stigma out: HIV-related stigma, which includes negative attitudes, prejudice, and discrimination towards individuals living with HIV or perceived to be at risk, can create barriers to effective prevention and care.
Seek Support and Counseling: If you are in a relationship with someone living with HIV or if you have concerns about your risk, seek counselling and support services. Open communication and education can help address fears and reduce the risk of transmission.
Remember, the most effective prevention strategy may vary depending on individual circumstances. It’s essential to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised advice and guidance based on your specific situation.
