Chronic cheating problem
by Serinoca77
Last post
 August 4th
...See more Hi, I'm a 48 year old man living with a partner for 19 years. English is not my first language so sorry for any errors I might make in this post. I'm a chronic cheater and I've accepted I have a problem since last November. It's been a discussion in my relationship in the past. The reasons I did it at first is to retaliate against my partner's own infidelities. But then I got hooked on the thrill. I started going to cruising areas but I stopped for some time after I went to therapy for this habit. It was 2021 when I caught my partner playing with a young man in the bathroom at a gay bar. We had an argument and after a bit of a talk we came to an agreement. If he ever meets a guy he's interested in, I don't want to know and as long as he's safe. It was 2022 when I was introduced to more cruising areas by a friend and I got hooked again. I went to therapy again and my therapist suggested I search online resources for sexual addiction recovery.  I was fine for a few months, until a few days ago. I was drunk and went to a bar to deliver something for an acquaintance there. The bar was closed. My partner went home because he was tired. My friend called me and asked me to come over and have drinks at his house instead.  I arrived, we talked and had some wine and before I realized it we were naked in his bed. We were giving mutual oral sex, but halfway we stopped because we were too drunk to go on. I felt guilty the day after and regretted it as I usually do everytime something happens. Since 2022 I don't tell my partner what I did. Other reasons why I do it because of seeking external validation. I gained weight the last decade, I'm diabetic and I get flattered whenever someone thinks I'm still desirable. I don't have many friends and in our local gay community it's hard to have someone who's willing to be your friend without trying to sleep with you first. My partner has distanced himself from his gay friends because of them trying to get in our bed. After the therapy I was fine until I had too many drinks and ended up cheating again. As for my safe sex practices I don't do *** sex. I mainly engage in mutual jo and sometimes low risk practices like oral sex. I test regularly for STI's.  I want to put this episode behind me, but I can't stop thinking about it. I'm working with a new therapist for work related stress but I don't know if I could bring this topic up too. I don't plan on telling my partner.

Gay horny frustration
by Abacad

 July 22nd
...See more Excepting my true self and not feeling ashamed of my desires has left me constantly being ***. My urge to run out and have as much sex with different men is driving me crazy. Although I know it's not actually realistic or safe, I am wondering if anyone else found this a problem after coming out and what can be done about it or does it just go away after awhile?

Being Bisexual in a Monogamous Marriage Is Harder Than I Expected
by CradleDuck
Last post
 July 14th
...See more I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here. Maybe advice. Maybe perspective. Maybe just to know I'm not alone. I'm a married bisexual man in a monogamous marriage. My wife has always known that I'm bisexual. Before we got married, I had a lot of sex with men, and we've had honest conversations about that part of my life. I love my wife deeply. I chose to marry her because she's the person I wanted to spend my life with. I don't regret that decision. But the truth is... I miss being with men sometimes. It's not because my marriage is bad. It's not because I'm secretly looking for permission to cheat. I don't want to betray my vows. My commitment to my wife means everything to me. What I'm struggling with is grief. I miss that part of my life. I miss the intimacy, the connection, and the way I felt when I could fully express every part of who I am. Being bisexual didn't disappear when I got married. That part of me is still there, even if I choose not to act on it. Sometimes I feel guilty for even admitting that. I know that everyone in a monogamous relationship gives something up. Straight people don't stop finding other women or men attractive. Gay people in committed relationships don't stop noticing other people either. I understand that's part of commitment. But sometimes I wonder if there's a different kind of grief that comes with being bisexual, knowing that an entire side of your sexuality is something you'll likely never experience again. I don't want an open marriage. I don't want to leave my wife. I don't want to cheat. I just miss it. Has anyone else who's bisexual and happily married struggled with these feelings? If so, how did you learn to make peace with them without feeling like you were denying part of yourself?

by BrandonJM
Last post
 June 20th
...See more Content Warning: Discussion of sexual assault, drug-facilitated assault, HIV exposure, overdose, PTSD, and recovery. There is a part of my story that I have kept quiet for a long time because it is painful to revisit, but I believe that speaking honestly may help someone else realize they are not alone. I am a gay Christian, and I am also a survivor of a drug-facilitated sexual assault. GHB was used against me, and I suffered neurological effects afterward. In the midst of that trauma, the person responsible identified himself as HIV positive and stated that he intended to infect me. Because of the exposure risk, I had to undergo 90 days of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) treatment. Those three months were filled with fear, uncertainty, shame, and questions that seemed impossible to answer. I carried the weight of what had happened almost entirely by myself. I didn’t tell my spouse. I didn’t tell many people at all. I buried it, convinced that silence would somehow make it easier to survive. Instead, the isolation made everything worse. Three months later, on Christmas Eve, I overdosed. Looking back, I realize that overdose was not simply about substances. It was about trauma that I had never processed, pain that I had never shared, and a belief that I had to carry the burden alone. The assault changed me. It contributed significantly to my PTSD and affected my trust, relationships, sense of safety, and mental health. But it did not define my value, my faith, or who I am as a person. Today, I choose to speak about it because survivors deserve to know they are not alone. Sexual assault can happen to anyone—regardless of gender, sexual orientation, profession, or background. The shame belongs to the person who committed the assault, not to the person who survived it. Healing has been difficult and far from linear. There have been setbacks, relapses, tears, and days when getting out of bed felt impossible. But there has also been hope, therapy, faith, community, and the determination to keep moving forward. If my story reaches even one person who feels isolated or believes there is no way out, I want you to hear this: what happened to you does not define you. You are worthy of love, dignity, compassion, and healing. Your story is not over. I am still here. I am still healing. And I refuse to let the worst thing that ever happened to me have the final word.

...See more Hello... I'm a biochemical engineering student in Russia. I came to Russia to study in Russia. My country is different. I'm a 20-year-old boy with Chinese eyes. I met a Russian man at a cafe. We ordered the same coffee, and it was the last one, and there was no coffee, so we drank half of it together. We became friends. And a few days later, I discovered he was a drug dealer. I distanced myself from him. Now he's after me.

Heart Break

 June 2nd
...See more Hi everyone, I've joined this group for the first time, and this is also the first time I've posted something this personal because I feel very lost and don't know what to do anymore.Growing up in a very traditional and cultural environment, I never openly accepted myself as gay, let alone came out to anyone. Towards the end of last year, I unexpectedly fell in love with a guy I met through a random hookup. Even though we were never officially in a relationship, we spent time together for nearly four months, and those moments meant a lot to me.Then, without any explanation, he suddenly started ignoring me, and now we don't talk at all.I know I should move on and focus on getting my life back on track, but instead I find myself constantly thinking about him, stalking his social media, and trying to reach out to him. I know this isn't healthy, and honestly, it's getting worse. The pain seems to grow heavier every day.What I struggle to understand is why these feelings are becoming stronger instead of fading with time, especially when we were never actually in a committed relationship. I can't focus on work, my daily life, or anything else because this is always on my mind. Has anyone been through something similar? How did you cope and eventually move forward? Thank you for reading.

Gay Married guy living dual life

 May 11th
...See more Hi I am a 37 year old guy. I am married gay who is struggling with emotional turmoil, sometimes too much due to not being able to express my true self. I mostly live a dual life and have guilt of affecting someone's life. I didnt had a choice but to marry and I am lot further in life now. I admire good looking, fit guys and wish to be friends with them and more. Whats my fault but of course i cant say this to anyone. I cant tell anyone what my true emotions are, need to hide what i like and need to express what i dont like. Sometimes these things feel overwhelming. I sometimes admire other guys, sometimes compare and this causes low self worth. I pretend to watch cricket when i dont like it. I wish to be comfortable with who I am without changing, change will come afterwards. I want to be stronger physically. I want to have healthy body image and good self worth. I want to be comfortable in my own skin.  Any other guy going through similar emotions or turmoil want to connect? Sometimes talking to someone going through similar challenges can be really helpful.

...See more hey, I don't even know how to start this, but i've been feeling really depressed and anxious lately. Everything just feels too heavy. I'm gay, but no one in my life knows, i've never told anyone before, and keeping it all inside for so long is starting to really hurt. I feel invisible sometimes, like no one actually knows who i really am. I guess i just need someone to talk to, someone who gets what it's like to be scared of being yourself, or who understands how lonely this can feel. I'm not looking for anything big, just someone kind and real to talk to. If anyone's been there or wants to listen, I'd really appreciate it :)

...See more Hi! I'm new to this site and want to start meeting people I can talk to. I'm 41, gay, and living in a very rural area (moved from a big metro area a few years ago). I'm a caretaker for three people in my family, and since I don't have my friends here, so it can get pretty lonely. I'm trying to better myself in many ways, and I think this is a good place to get support. I'd love to hear from you if you're in a similar situation, or if you'd just like to chat.
