Ask QC: Scared of Losing Him

Ask QC: Scared of Losing Him

Dear QC,
I have a dilemma that you guys might be able to help me out with. I’m 22 years old, out at college and at home and in a relationship with a guy who’s a few years older at 37. Age isn’t an issue with either of us, and although we don’t actually live together, we see each other regularly enough. I’m busy with college and working part time, he’s busy with his work too, but we do see each other several times a week at his place, and the sex is great!
I’m definitely falling in love with him and I really want to take things further, and at least introduce him to my family and circle of friends. But here is my problem, he is still in the closet, and because of this he wont (or doesn’t want to) meet my family or friends. At first it wasn’t a problem, but now it’s starting to become an issue between us. I’ve suggested he meets up with my family for dinner and I just introduce him as a friend, but he says everyone will know straight away that he is my lover. Do you think this is the case? He wants to keep things just as they are so I’m caught between pushing him into something he doesn’t want to do (which I think will be good for him and the both of us) and risk losing him. Have you guys been in a situation like this, and if so, how did you deal with it, got any ideas or suggestions on how to move forward on this? I’m scared of losing him if I push him too far.
Thanks.
Caleb.

Ask QC: Sex Sans STDs

Ask QC: My Ass Hole Is Too Tight

Dear QC,
So, for all you experienced LGBT peeps, here’s my question that you might be able to help me out with. I’ve for some reason been very horny (it could be because I came out recently in my late 30’s, within the last year, and my arrested horniness needs to make up for some lost time – but that’s just conjecture) and have started experimenting with hook-ups. The challenge is I don’t know the sex history of these dudes – if they are disease free or not. So, what advice do you guys have? Condoms for everything: oral, anal, giving, receiving? Just jerking off and kissing? What do you guys do? I want a great sex life but I don’t want to catch anything and want to be comfortable while having sex.
Thanks.
S.

Ask QC: Black and White

Ask QC: My Ass Hole Is Too Tight
This week’s Ask QC touches on race, a topic our readers debated at length this past week. The letter, below, proves that race isn’t just an issue in the fantasy porn world.

Dear QC,
I’m a 40-year-old black man (average) who’s long been attracted to white and Latino guys. And why not? They’re practically everywhere (insert laugh track)! The problem is, of course, that is often not the case the other way around, friends or otherwise. I’ve gone on several sites like Manhunt and craigslist…even some romantic dating sites…and I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen countless profiles of men (that I’m attracted to) looking for all kinds of races except blacks. And in some cases where they don’t mention race, if I were to send them a picture of myself when requested…that’s the dealbreaker.
It’s difficult enough to be black and gay within the straight community, but to be excluded within the gay community is a bit much and tiring. I’m on the verge of stop trying and just live my life.
Sincerely,
Black and Tired

Ask QC: Finding Friends Without Benefits

Ask QC: My Ass Hole Is Too Tight

Dear QC,
I’m a long time reader first time writer-iner. I’m 21 and am not particularly attractive or flirty but I have a hard time keeping my gay friends just friends. At one time or another every single one of my friends have tried to kiss or sleep with me and it gets weird. I am wondering if you guys have had similar problems seeing as gay men are horny and when are close to another guy tend to go for it. How do you draw a line with your friends? or is it common for guys to do it with their friends? or do i just need new friends? I turn them down and say I like just being friends but it happens again and I get put back in an awkward position. When all the ingredients for a good friend are so close to those for a good boy friend how do you establish a truly platonic buddy?
Thanks,

Ask QC: My Ass Hole Is Too Tight

Ask QC: My Ass Hole Is Too Tight

Dear QC
I love sex! Well that’s why I’m here hehe and wanted some advice too. Up till now all the sex I’ve had has been like, Blow Jobs and Jerking Off and stuff, but now I feel I’m ready to be and really want to be fucked. I got a great new BF and he really wants to fuck me but I’ve been holding off (not cos I don’t want it) but basically cos I never did it before.
I know my asshole is probably too tight cos it even hurts when I just put my finger there. Are there any special exercises I can do to help make my hole ready to receive his cock? I really don’t want to have the embarrassment of not being able to take his cock up my ass when my boyfriend wants to do it.
I suppose the good thing is that his cock isn’t that big really, but I’m still worried that my ass will be too tight. How long will I need to exercise my ass hole and are there any other things I need to do before getting fucked for the first time?
Thanks everyone for your help, best wishes,
Ass Too Tight.

Ask QC: No Knob Cheese Please!

Ask QC: No Knob Cheese Please!

Dear Ask QC
I’m a fit 19 year old, completely gay but play a lot of sports and so am in some teams with straight guys (socially). I take pride in my cleanliness and hygiene, especially my cock, balls and ass (you never know when you might get lucky right?).
The thing is this, I ALWAYS wash carefully behind my foreskin daily, gently with soap and water and make sure there is no Smegma there. I thought this was just basic hygiene that everyone followed, but recently I was out with a group of my straight friends and I was horrified to hear them all say they NEVER wash behind there foreskins and that their girlfriends never go down on them anyway! I’m not surprised! Who in their right mind would suck on a cock full of knob-cheese? Surely this can’t be right? And there must surely be some medical dangers involved in not cleaning properly there, or worse still sucking on someones Smegma?
I would really like some advice here so I can show them that what they are doing is not only dirty and unhealthy but also risky?
Cheers,
No Knob Cheese

Ask QC: I Hate My Size

Ask QC: No Knob Cheese Please!

Dear QueerClick,
I am a 20 year old college student who is out of the closet and proud of it. Here’s my problem, I’m over weight and can’t seem to loose the weight. 300lbs and five foot eleven inches tall. I’ve tried everything, I walk to class, eat smart. Hell, I survived cancer, and the chem and radiation only made me gain weight. I don’t know what to do. I considered weightloss pills, but my doctor told me that it could have an adverse reaction with me because of the medical history. I hate my size and need help. And if I can’t find anything soon, I might have to resort to vomiting. Can anyone give me some suggestions? This weight must go, not only for my health, but I’m tired of being alone. Thank you in advanced QueerClick.

Ask QC: 3-Some Perhaps?

Ask QC: 3-Some Perhaps?

Dear Ask QC
Love your site and love this column!
I’m writing in cos my Boy Friend of 3 years just suggested a threesome!
Perhaps this is something that a lot of guys dream of (?), but it kinda makes me feel inadequate and intimidated. I’m 29 and he’s 26, we are both fit and healthy, and although I admit he is the one who usually initiates sex, I thought things were going along fine.
I’m a bottom whilst my partner is a top and he has suggested another bottom or flexi to join us. I’m really not sure what that means cos from what I have seen in porn there is usually one guy out of the threesome either being ignored or one guy totally having his brains fucked out at both ends.
I suppose I’m just writing to find out if any readers can suggest what makes a threesome work (or not?). Is it better to choose the third person as a random or someone you know? My fear is that my Boy Friend and the 3rd person would hit it off and I would be left out in the cold?
Any advice you guys can suggest?
Yours,
3-Some Perhaps.

Ask QC: To Rim Or Not To Rim?

Ask QC: To Rim Or Not To Rim?

Dear Ask QC
To Rim or Not to Rim? That is the question!
I know this might sound a bit “basic” this question but I really love to rim (licking the anus) and love being rimmed out too. But Im not really that sure how safe it is or if there are any dangers involved. Are there any special “tricks” your readers know to determine whether someone you just met is really clean “down there”? I always make sure Im scrupulously clean before sex but Im not sure if everyone goes to those lengths.
Any advice on the risks and tips to stay clean (and know if someone is clean) would be appreciated – many thanks!

Ask QC: Wish We Were Married

QC: Wish We Were Married

Dear Ask QC
Although my problem may not be as “colorful” as some of those I’ve read in your column recently, nevertheless we need some practical advice that I hope the readers can help us with.
Myself and my partner both live in a country which, unfortunately doesn’t recognize same sex marriages or partnerships so myself and my partner live very much in the closet. That’s not the problem, in fact we are out to our close friends who know us well as we have been together as a couple for more than 15 years now (and no we aren’t THAT old! Haha! 37 and 41).
The advice we are seeking is very much to do with our wealth, properties and business that we run together and have worked hard to achieve over the years. Without going into too many details we haven’t been able to locate a sympathetic lawyer and so intend to write wills together and split everything we own 50/50 down the middle should the worst happen.
Our main question is this, what advice QC readers can give us or is there something fundamental that we may have missed (for example being able to attend funerals or to act as power of attorney if either of us becomes incapacitated). I’m sure there are loads of things we need to do to protect ourselves (things which would be automatic rights were we to be a heterosexual married couple) but we would really appreciate any advice being offered? Does, for example, it count for anything if we were to get married overseas even though this would not be recognized legally in our own country, would this count for anything?
Best regards,
Wish We Were Married

What say you, dear QC readers? Any lawyers out there who can help Wish We Were Married? Perhaps you have a similar situation and have set yourselves up legally? Please feel free to share your own experiences and advice to help him in the comments section.

Ask QC: Pissed On and Off

Ask QC: Pissed On and Off

Dear Ask QC
I’m 18 yo and have been going out with my new boy friend (22 yo) for around 3 months now. We’ve been getting along fine, both in and out of bed, except one thing that concerns me a bit that happened recently.
He suggested we take a shower together before sex and I though “Yeah great!” and, actually it WAS very very erotic until he said he needed to pee. No probs I said, the toilet is like only 4 feet away, then he said is it OK to pee in the shower… again I said OK but the next bit shocked me. He said could he piss all over me!
Well I don’t want to sound like a prude but I said “No!” and well it kinda spoilt the moment as you can imagine – in fact we didn’t even have sex after that happened that night! It’s kind of been very awkward and playing on my mind and we haven’t mentioned this since then (it happened about a week ago). The thing is I realize that actually I’m not totally turned off by this, if only he had given me some warning then I could have psyched myself up to expect that.
Of course I realize when it comes to sex we both have to enjoy and be into the same thing, do you think I should suggest a shower with him again and then just piss on him – will he like that or would he only like being the person doing the pissing? Also can you tell me are there any hygiene issues with pissing on each other?
Are there any readers here who are into being pissed on or pissing on their partners and can they tell me how to go about it properly?
Yours truly,
Pissed On and Off.

Ask QC: Curious Widower

Ask QC: No Knob Cheese Please!

Dear QC:
I am a recent widower in my early 40’s. My wife of 25 years was truly my better half and losing her I also lost myself. My wife knew of my curious feelings and fantasies of looking at other men. My wife knew I loved her with all my heart and that I just looked at other men because I was jealous of them. I have never pursued anything outside our wonderful and honesty-based marriage, although I did fantasize. It’s been six weeks since her passing and now being alone, I know I will NEVER find another woman like her. In fact I’m not sure I want to look and wonder if it’s time for me to explore those other feelings.
I have a doctor that is becoming as much of a friend as he is my doctor. I go to lunch with him and he seems to loosen up to where I can see a different side of him that when he’s in the office. He claims he has a girlfriend and yet admits he has a feminine side. He is attractive and I have more than (friend) feelings for him. I want to get closer to him and have more physical contact with him but am afraid to scare him off. If I scare him off then it would be awkward to see him as my doctor. I feel he may be gay and say he has a girlfriend as a cover and I want to find out by kissing him and even satisfying him in other ways, but again, I’m afraid to scare him away. What do I do? Do I take the chance in scaring him away and losing a doctor?

Ask QC: Is My Boyfriend Too Old For Me?

Ask QC: Is My Boyfriend Too Old For Me?

Dear QueerClick,

I recently met this guy who I absolutely adore, he’s gorgeous, sexy and everything I could want in a man. Although we have only known each other for a short while (2 months) I dearly want to spend the rest of my life with him – the thing is when I hinted at this he seemed quite put off by it, in fact he’s been making excuses not to meet ever since.

Do you think I have come on too strong too early? I know this is a difficult one to gauge but I don’t want to lose him by being too pushy, nor lose him by being aloof and not letting him know my feelings.

Quite recently he came out of a long-term relationship (7 years), whereas all my relationships have been fairly short, (1 year or less) and I wonder if its this that holds him back. He won’t talk about his past relationships so I don’t know how to approach him on this subject.

There is an age difference too between us, I’m 24 years old and he’s 36 years old, not that I see the age gap as a problem, although some of my friends say that the age difference and his past are the root of the problem.

I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas to help me with this?

Ask QC: How To Come Out?

Ask QC: How To Come Out?

Dear QueerClick
I’m 21 years old and at college and have been dating my boyfriend steady now for over a year. I really love him dearly and would love him to meet my family but I haven’t yet “come out” to them. This last holiday period was really difficult, especially all the innuendo from relatives about girl friends and even marriage!
I was wondering if you and the readers could assist with some ideas in helping me come out to my parents, family and friends? I realize that everyone has different experiences but I’m pretty sure coming out to friends at college won’t be a problem – it’s the family that I’m concerned about, especially my Dad and Mom who are quite religious (not that I have ever heard them make homophobic statements). I have a younger sister who, I think kinda suspects I’m gay and I get along well with her – would it be a good idea to come out to her first separately?
Any advice is most welcome.

Ask QC: Mac

Ask QueerClick
Reader Steven asks,

What websites show videos for MAC computer users? It’s a problem, let me tell ya. Here I am at home, pants down, all lubed up and excited as HELL to watch the new Sean Cody boy on my new MAC computer. And when I try and load it…nothing. It’s a cruel twist of fate to have such a rad computer, but not to watch Sean Cody or Corbin Fisher!!! It aint’ right. Not watching hot gay porn is against God’s will and I can’t stand it anymore! I need something to fill the void, help QC. HELP!

Dear Steven,
Since a good number of QC editors are on Macs, we feel your pain. Blame it on Microsoft! Since most porn producers encode their videos using Microsoft’s digital rights management scheme (DRM), and since Microsoft doesn’t have a player for Mac, we aren’t able to view most videos.
Some sites encode their videos in Flash or do not use DRM, and will work on Macs. The handful that come to mind are You Love Jack, Randy Blue, Bang Bang Boys, Next Door Male sites, Bentley Race, Lucas Kazan Productions, UK Naked Men and VideoBoxMen. Sadly, Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher aren’t isn’t viewable on Macs.
The only way around this problem is to run Windows on top of your Mac using Apple’s Boot Camp (free) or software like Parallels (around $80). You’ll need to provide your own Vista license, but once you’re all set-up, you’ll be able to boot into Windows and watch videos as much as your hands can take.
Are there other Mac users who are as frustrated as Steven? What do you do to view your favorite porn? Did we miss sites that can be viewed on a Mac? Speak up in the comments.

Ask QC: Flat Bum Blues

Ask QueerClick

I’ve got a really, really flat bum and even my boyfriend said so. I wonder is there anything that I can do about it because it gets to me sometimes. Maybe there is a certain type of workout or something I can do to plump up my butt? I remember once someone told me that you can actually work your bum out, but i don’t know how to and if it’s true or not. Help!
