A woman has written to Cosmo’s advice columnist Logan Hill for help in decoding her relationship. “A few months ago, I snooped on my boyfriend’s Instagram and saw that he had been talking to other girls on there for a little over a year,” the letter begins. “He said that it was nothing and he was sorry. We were going through a rough time, so I understood that he just wanted to feel wanted.” But that wasn’t what raised her suspicion. It was...

A mother reaches out to the Reddit community for advice. Reddit user Stripedpolkadots posted in the LGBT subreddit asking other redditors for advice for dealing with her teenage son who she thinks is gay. “My son is 13 and although he has never told me, I am sure that he is gay,” she posted in the thread. “I would really like to make things easier for him and help him but I have no idea how to approach the subject… I’m...

A 24-year-old woman on Reddit is in quite a pickle. Her fiancé has hooked up with at least three, possibly four other guys behind her back. He doesn’t know she knows. And she’s not sure how to approach him about it. “Just to give a little background,” the woman’s post begins, “I’m 24 (female) and my fiancé is 25. We’ve been together almost two years. Very early into our relationship he cheated on me with two different girls within a few days...

How much would it cost to turn a straight man gay for an evening? That’s what one Reddit user wants to know. The post boldly asks: Straight guys of Reddit, a gay man offers you $600 to have sex with him, would you? It would be a one time thing, easy cash. And now, the responses… A number of guys seemed open to the idea, but wanted more information. “Condoms involved?” one guy asks. “Sure, why not. I pay my damn doctor to finger me once a year as...

What happens when you hook up with your straight BFF for a night of naked unbridled passion? That’s what one confused gay man on Reddit wants to know. “I’m a 27 year old gay guy and my friend is a 27 year old straight guy and we’re both single,” his post begins. “We’ve had a kind of bromance thing going on but we’ve never exchanged more than hugs and joke flirting.” Until last weekend, that is. “There was a big jazz festival in...

Two high school friends were playing video games like most normal 16-year-old boys do, but when one thing led to another, the teens dropped their pants and gave each other a friendly blowjob. Unfortunately for the horny teens, one of the boy’s father caught them in the act. One of the teen’s shared his experience on Reddit: I was giving my friend a blowjob and his dad walked in and I backed away with my head down really quickly. He asked what’s...

He describes himself as “Asian,” “gay,” and “slightly effeminate.” And he wants to know why that’s so frowned upon. Writing into Reddit, a man with the moniker silverkoss asks the community why he senses so much judgement and negativity simply on account of his personality and countenance. “Asian cultures have a lot of emphasis on conformity and introversion,” he writes, “a contrast to Western cultures which are derived from Greek philosophy where extroversion and individualism are highly prized.” Isn’t it reasonable to accept the...

So: a man tells his girlfriend he regularly enjoys gay adult entertainment. What kind of aftermath would you predict? Our vision gets soapy: Dishes flung at the kitchen wall, frantic batting of bathrobe sleeves, maybe some sobbing in the tub, or even lying in the middle of the road to hint at your displeasure. But perhaps we’re old-fashioned and need to step up with the times. A young woman who goes by the handle Stormwinder has written into Reddit to express her glee at this very...

Congratulations and welcome out to the confused saga of a Reddit user who posted about accepting a date from another guy, despite always having thought of himself as straight. The entire story is pretty sweet, but the condensed version is that he just got out of a long relationship with a woman, and happened to sit down next to a guy on a train and started making small talk. They had good chemistry and got closer over their train ride, and at some point the...

Love got you down? You’re not the only one. Finding Mr. Right can be a real challenge, especially in the wham-bam-thank-you-man age of dating apps. Lucky, self-help guru Max DuBowy is here to help. “Most of us resort to dating apps like Grindr, Scruff, OkCupid or Manhunt, all with the hopes of connecting with our community or meeting the love of our life,” Max DuBowy says in his latest online post How To Meet Quality Gay Guys. But apps, he explains, usually just attract guys looking to...

A gay man in his 30s is struggling with more than half a decade of singledom. He wonders: Will he ever find his Prince Charming? “I’m a single man in my mid-30s,” the man writes to advice columnist Mariella Frostrup. “I was something of a monogamist throughout my 20s with only three relationships by 30. I’ve now been single for six years.” The man goes on to say that he’s only had one relationship that he felt truly happy in. It didn’t work out,...

An anonymous woman using the handle jane_trousers has taken to Reddit to post a rather touching request for advice, all because she suspects her 12-year-old son is gay and wants to do everything she can to help him adjust. “He’s flamboyant and somewhat effeminate,” she writes. “He likes dancing, musicals, My Little Pony, and other things that check the boxes. All good.” But she’s not sure he knows he’s gay yet (or if he really is gay). Nevertheless, something he said this...

Sometimes an open mind is all you need to tear your life asunder. A young woman thought she’d see how the swinging side lives, and found herself in gooey unchartered territory that turned her every waking moment into a steamy cesspool of uncertainty. Seeking out advice on Reddit, a certain Forreasons-throwaway sings her song of woe. Take it away, “Forreasons-throwaway”: My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. Our relationship, in general, is really good. He suggested a MMF threesome, saying...

There’s some tough choices ahead for “Graham,” who wrote in to Gay Times to ask for help with his boyfriend. Here’s the situation: Graham grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness, but is no longer suffering under religious baggage. His boyfriend, on the other hand, is a Mormon and wants to stay with the church. That’s a problem, since we all know what the LDS establishment has to say about gays (nothing good). And the boyfriend is naturally too scared to socialize anywhere they might...
