I've heard about grindr and was wondering if there were other good places to find other gay men. I'm mostly interested in men in my age range (18-25). 

;D don't do it like this guy at walmart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz97VhhPaak

I haven't yet joined dating apps so I'm not really aware of general preferences but I haven't really noticed hate for feminine man. I don't think it's hate. More like they are not interested in them. I personally like feminine men. If nobody likes feminine men it just means there are more for us  ;D so be happy.

Telling your parents you buyed a dildo would probably be very awkward. I would never try this with mine  ;D So far I have been using my finger since I'm too afraid to break something :laugh: Maybe try to go to a shop and you might find something right ? Some sort of pen maybe ? Does a dildo feel that much better ?  ???

I sometime use streamtransport 1.1.4.0 I tested it on hairyandraw and was able to download the trailer on the main page. The tool official homepage seem to have vanished. It pretty much works for every site (even rtmp protocol) but it's no longer maintained so it might have security issue. i recommend running it in a virtual machine (virtualbox or vmware). You can take a look here also: http://alternativeto.net/software/streamtransport/

edit: I just tried http://www.atube.me/video/ and it seems to work but still not a full replacement for streamtransport since it doesn't support secure/ciphered protocols (including RTMPE).

oh man I was just about to install it. 

Nope. Illegal in my country. A pointless law in my view. Who cares if some people like get frisky with horses. If the horse cums he is probably happy  :laugh:

They are lucky to have such an understanding family. My family view on gay people is "gay is unnatural". My grandmother even said to me "Thank god you are not gay, I would stop talking to you if you were". So yeah, first I need to be able to take care of myself because when I come out many members of my family will cut relations with me. Maybe one day I'll be free. I might never tell them. I'm used to do things in the shadows.

Maybe staff can pm user and ask him nicely to be more considerate of what he posts. I personally value freedom of speech but it doesn't mean it's ok acting like a douche. If you can't ignore the user I could make you a userscript to hide all the posts of the user or something like that (for browser that have userscript support like chrome or firefox).

I don't use linux so I can't give you a precise guidance but the procedure should be similar on linux. To make gifs I make images for every frames using potplayer (most video players can do that, just look at the options) and then I convert all the frames to a gif using gimp (I think you can install it on linux). If software on linux is unsatisfactory you can always install windows software in wine or virtualbox. I personnaly don't use gifs. I extract small parts of videos and convert them to videos that are playable in the browser (html5) using command line with ffmpeg. It's like gifs but better in every way, quality and sound.
