Well, I guess a small introduction won't hurt. Hello everyone :9 I'm relatively new to the forum, and to be honest, I think I will be staying here for a long time. It's been so long since I last participated in a forum community, I thought this format died circa 2010, but well, I'm so happy to see that it's still a thing, and the theme here just makes it even better. Hope to have a nice time here!

I remember that I once saw a gif of a japanese guy playing a VR game with some kind of device that basically masturbated him to simulate sex. I tried using Google, but couldn't find much. Does anyone know more about games like these? Or are they pretty much still exclusive to japan?

Well… haha I have a thing for Tekken characters, always choose their shirtless attire as a kid, I also used to lose on purpose to see them breathe heavily on the floor for the continue screen.

I'm so sorry. I'm not even married yet, so I don't know how it feels to lose your significant other, but my best friend (female) died about two years ago. That was quite shocking (she was 19 at that time, car accident).

There may or there may not be a reason for each death… but we should appreciate all of the good memories we have of our beloved ones as their legacy.

P.S.:Something really nice is when you get to dream of them in fact, I dreamed of my best friend last night. There's something magical about dreaming with those who are no longer among us, but that still have a place in our hearts.

My vote goes for not telling them yet. Specially if you are very close to them right now. You need to build a strong life first, so that in case something goes wrong, your main source of support and happiness is left unaffected (ie, people other than your parents)

Also, what kind of homophobes are they? Religious ones? just plain homophobes?

I got lots of handjobs in the last wagon of the subway (which is a very common cruising place here)

Also, took a lot of men from there to a sauna with private rooms to have sex. I actually got quite kinky with them, since it was all about sex, and no feelings involved. Nipples, feet, armpits… it was quite a year full of fulfilling experiences.

You shouldn't worry too much. You're still 18. I remember when I was 18, and I had similar thoughts. I was even planning to never have gay sex or gay relationships. But actually, what you need is time, not tags. With time, you'll eventually learn what you really want in life, whether if that's women, men, none or both. Also, don't feel pressured to come out as a tag. Enjoy your youth, experiment, see what works for you, have fun, get your heart broken, USE LOTS OF CONDOMS, and life will, uh, find a way.
