I love going to a record store and dropping $10 on whatever's in the one-dollar box. Sometimes, I'm surprised by how good some of it is, even some things I can't find on spotify, so I have to use the vinyl.
And yeah, it's totally an excuse to talk. Nobody says "Hey man, wanna be really deep and introspective for a little bit and open up to each other?" Nah, ya just say "Wanna cigar/drink/coffee?" and the rest flows from there. I think last night definitely had some good guy talk; I hope we can do it again sometime, it was a great way to get to know my roommate a bit.

I had my first cigar yesterday. I've been overthinking too much. Too much time alone in the dorm. My roommate came in after I got back from dinner, and saw I was kinda stressed. He said "take a look at this" and pulled out a box from under his bed. He cracked it open, and I saw some cigars, a lighter, some other equipment I don't recognize. He asked if I wanted to have one. I said sure, though I've never smoked anything before.
We left the dorm during the twilight hours and hit up some hiking trails. He busted out the lighter and lit us both up. I was pretty intimidated at first, but it actually tasted quite nice. Sweet, a little bitter. We walked a slow mile as twilight turned to dusk, just talking guy stuff. Workouts, growing up, music, whatever. I thought it was an excellent way to wind down the day and keep my mind where it belongs, here and now. It seemed to be something of a ritual, a little pleasure to be had on occasion with a friend or two.
Do you guys take a similar approach to tobacco? Maybe some other little rituals like coffee, or beer, or tea, or a walk on the beach?

ShilohMizook I have nothing to compare it to, but 5 stars. I felt reassured and cared for, yet also able to explore. Excellent sexual partner.I have nothing to compare it to, but 5 stars. I felt reassured and cared for, yet also able to explore. Excellent sexual partner.

- Kissing is way wetter than I thought, and sounds funny.
- There are a lot of funny noises in general
- There's a lot more talking than I thought, even, like, small talk in between kisses, that was fun.

(By the way, I'm a dude.) So I just moved into my college dorm yesterday, and my roommate moves in later. I figured that since I had a night and a morning to myself, I might as well make it worth it. This morning, I was texting a fella on grindr, and eventually he ubered over. I made us some coffee, and we just talked for ten or twenty minutes. No pressure whatsoever. I really appreciated that. After a while, I said, in the most awkward way possible, "uhhhhh, you wanna sit in the bed?" He said sure, we did, and he said "You wanna cuddle?" We did, and eventually it moved on from there. But every step of the way, he asked permission, and asked if I was comfortable. He also taught me how to do some... things, patiently.
When we started, I was incredibly nervous, but by the time he left, I felt very comfortable. Overall, excellent experience.

ShilohMizook Jason Mraz is bisexual, his music doesn't really reflect it, but he's got some good vibes.Jason Mraz is bisexual, his music doesn't really reflect it, but he's got some good vibes.

About a year ago, I started liking other, less-feminine guys, and that's when I fully accepted being bi.

Eventually, about a year ago, I feel like my gayness has increased, and I knew it wasn't a phase. I don't know how or why that happened, but I'm firmly in the bi camp now, leaning mostly towards guys.

ShilohMizook I've never met any other non-straight guys, but this theory seems correct. No one thinks I act stereotypically gay and don't know until I tell them.I've never met any other non-straight guys, but this theory seems correct.

ShilohMizook I personally prefer LGBT, with other possible acronyms implicit. It seems like anything else in unnecessarily long or unrecognizable.I personally prefer LGBT, with other possible acronyms implicit. It seems like anything else in unnecessarily long or unrecognizable.

It might make me a little uncomfortable, but it would be the same with a non-straight couple.
Do you feel offended when someone assumes you are straight?
Nope
Is it important for you that everyone knows you're LGBT right away?
Not particularly, but it helps if I'm having a conversation with someone about relationships and stuff.
Would you like to play more videogames with LGBT main characters? (and the equivalent for other media)
As long as the character happens to be LGBT, and has an actual personality apart from it.

ShilohMizook I grew up Catholic, but my family barely ever went to church. I pray pretty often and consider myself a fairly religious person, but the Church's worldly corruption and anti-LGBT stance keep me away.I grew up Catholic, but my family barely ever went to church.

Name: Shiloh
Identity: Bisexual, lean mostly towards guys. Cis male.
Pronouns: He, Him.
Bio: 17, I go to a Catholic school in Florida, but the people there are pretty accepting, so I'm out to everyone. My parents try to avoid the subject. I've never actually met another non-straight guy in real life, which has kind of frustrated me, but it's okay.
Yeah, I'd love to, but we'll probably have to wait longer than COVID since neither of us are 21 yet (God bless America). Probably a good thing though, I don't want to go off the deep end too quickly.
