Sometimes I HAVE to write a story. For me, it&#039;s just something I need to do. I need to create. Writing people down on a page, giving them love and hate and boredom is as close to the act of creation as I get, in an artistic sense.

Why do you think that?<br /><br />Nature. I was gay before I knew what sexuality was about. As early back as I can remember, I was attracted to the male of the species. I wanted to marry my invisible friend, who was a male nudist :P I had crushes on my older brother&#039;s friends... Though I don&#039;t remember it, I...

I always have extra tooth brushes in a drawer. However, I have shared much worse with all my partners. If I have had sex with my partner, why would using his/her toothbrush be that big of a deal?

With tooth paste and travel size mouth wash. I always carry sugar-free gum with me too, so I can at least get some chewing action going on, if something keeps me from being able to brush.

But, we decided in the dating phase that neither were interested in an open relationship. Well, as I re-read the question.... I&#039;ve watched my S/O have sex with me... and I&#039;m a someone... so I guess I have. Cheers!

She is the track star that everyone thinks is a man.<br /><br />She has a very powerful body... and is great at her sport... and she acted better during the &quot;controversy&quot; than most of the people who had rude things to say about her.

We were all pretty wasted and they wanted me to pretend they weren't there and continue whatever I was upto. I didn't do it but really wanted to. Is that a bad thing to want to do?<br /><br />It&#039;s only a bad thing if someone involved doesn&#039;t want it to happen.... And in that case, they should just exit the situation and leave the frisky people to be frisky.

All my friends are telling me to leave him and i like him alot. idk what to do...<br /><br />If you guys had decided to be exclusive and he slept with someone else, you should find someone else to be with. If a person can&#039;t go 2 months without having sex with someone else, do you think they can go a lifetime without sampling &quot;greener&quot; pastures?

I am a little bit of a hypochondriac I know but I'd like to get tested just to be safe.<br /><br />No. But, you can be checked for STD&#039;s via both blood tests and visual inspection. You can be checked for anal warts. You should have a prostate exam every year, during your yearly physical. Just as you can&#039;t have a Pap, women can&#039;t have a prostate exam...

Isn't that a very offensive statement considering that lots of very decent people living like that?<br /><br />Much of the drivel that comes out of that old bag&#039;s mouth is offensive. She should pay more attention to herself, rather than judge others.

They should be castrated and locked away with other vermin.

She says she shares his bed, he says he wants to adopt her as a daughter. Why the lies<br /><br />Possibly because one of them, or both, is uncomfortable with people asking personal questions? Many people would see the relationship as non-traditional, just because of the age difference. And the man may think it would look more &quot;proper&quot; for a man his age to adopt a 30-year-old,...

It's been good but in the beginning we had our differculties, trust issues. I worry about him hooking up. I get the 'I love, I miss you', but should I still be worried?<br /><br />You have to be the one to answer that. Has he ever given you reason to worry? Are you insecure in the relationship, or just in general? If he&#039;s in rehab, he shouldn&#039;t be looking to &quot;hook up.&quot; In fact, if he&#039;s in-house, he shouldn&#039;t have the opportunity to...

Doest in make you so mad?<br /><br />My parnter doesn&#039;t cancel plans on me. However, my best friend does from time to time. Things change, so I really haven&#039;t ever become angry because of it. I do have one friend that makes me angry because he&#039;s always late. Instead of continuing to get mad at him, I&#039;ve...

You&#039;re being bombarded by hormones, you&#039;re most likely just beginning to notice things terms of their sexual nature.

But, yes, I&#039;ve been on real dates. My partner and I have been together 15 years now, and we still try to have &quot;dates.&quot; There&#039;s nothing that compares to dressing up and going to a nice restaraunt, and then out for some level of entertainment followed...

Mine is spaghetti is straight until you heat it up.<br /><br />Not necessarily a gay quote, but apt: &quot;Majority rule only works if you&#039;re also considering individual rights. Because you can&#039;t have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.&rdquo; - Larry Flint, American publisher.

That could possibly remove one aspect of discrimination they might encounter. One could also counter than many straight women...

Either can be amusing or annoying if they are forced. If it&#039;s natural, more power to them.

You can no-more make yourself straight, than a straight person can make themselves gay. You may be able to have sex with the opposite sex, but that wouldn&#039;t change who you are attracted to. However, you can come to accept your...

She was the first person I heard that said sex wasn&#039;t vile and disgusting. Judith Light. She has done a lot of advocacy for the gay &amp; lesbian community.

Do you think that it will be harder for us to tell people that we're together because of the racial issue?<br /><br />It shouldn&#039;t be &quot;harder&quot; to tell that you are lovers. It will probably introduce you to a new type of discrimination. Unfortunately, the world is populated with *some* people that feel the need to hate. Some are ingrained with the idea that one group of people is better than...

She also has a bad habit of stealing socks. Do your pets have any strange habits like this? What's the most bizarre object delivered by your pet?<br /><br />Several years ago, we had a cat who would catch baby squirrels. She wouldn&#039;t hurt them at all. Instead, she&#039;d bring them into the house, and let them go, and then go lie down.

He did'nt want to date a student at the time so they slept together for a few months. My fear is that my GF is very needy and I fear she may cheat on me later? Im 39 Divorced she is 35<br /><br />Have you ever slept with someone just for the sake of sex? I&#039;d be more concerned to find out that she&#039;d had many partners, rather than one steady person to have sex with. At 35, you shouldn&#039;t expect her to be a virgin. If she was a single woman with a sex buddy, why should...

The body can use that energy fighting the illness you have, rather than expending it on motion. With a fever, you should rest and keep yourself hydrated. Hope you feel better soon.

They offer information. They tell their stories. It&#039;s pretty much like any support group, in the fact that it&#039;s a group of people coming together to help others that may be struggling.

What does he mean?<br /><br />Could be that he just wants a friend, or he&#039;s wanting to make sure he doesn&#039;t make another &quot;mistake.&quot; It actually sounds pretty healthy to me. He needs time to &quot;lick his wounds,&quot; and reassess what he wants out of life and a relationship. He may not become a...

When he puts a couple scud missles through the headquarters, I&#039;ll call it a war. Though to hear the right, he&#039;s planning that. But, it&#039;s now un-American to attempt to be free of bias.
