I'm sick of us. And by "US" I mean gay/bi/DL men who hide behind the veil of sex only. Everybody is not truly just thinking about sex. You can't tell me otherwise. Everyday almost, it seems like I see/hear a guy say he only wants sex and he isn't looking for a relationship or anything serious. You know, basic NSA fucking. While I'm sure there are some people who genuinely only want sex, I equally sure not all that claim this are being honest.
In my humble opinion, I believe that it is instinctive for people to want companionship. I'm talking about romantic companionship...not just friends and family and shit. It's natural to want someone who is readily accessible (not just for sex). We want someone to have dinner with, to share our thoughts, feelings and have excellent sex with. I'm convinced. Not everyone who claims to not want this is being honest, can't fucking be. But it's not their fault.
This lifestyle has fooled the whole, entire fuck out of us. This little society has made us think that being a gay man, especially a black gay man, is just sexual. Real friendships, relationships, love, etc is null and void. That shit is wrong. We have been ingrained to run away from anything serious...and I won't even get started on actual LOVE. The idea of being in a relationship with another gay/bi man incites so much fucking fear and resentment from people, that I know it can't be self taught. Homosexuality has been condemned in our society so much that we don't even believe in ourselves. Being in love/a relationship makes being gay/bi real and many guys can't take that. Having sex is very real as well, but you can have sex with someone and not have to deal with them anymore and not relive the moment. A relationship, however, is constant and you are always reminded that you are homosexual....every time you tell the guy you love him and talk to/text him everyday. Its kinda hard to put into words, but I'm sure you guys get the gist of what I'm saying.
I just wish we would be honest with ourselves and just say "Yes, I would like to be involved with someone with many fucking strings attached." Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are people that only want sex...I'm not an idiot. However, everyone who claims to isn't being real. Miss me with that bullshit.
the NSA concept never worked for me, the other guy always end up wanting more and I end up being the bad guy
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely truth in what you're saying. Sometimes I train myself to not want anything more because wanting more comes with expectations and disappointment if those expectations aren't met. I feel like when you're out there wearing your heart on your sleeve expecting something serious from these dudes you end up doing stupid shit for nothing
