As a gay man, most of my list doesn't have names. Why would I remember their names? Some I didn't even ask.

Jokes on you, they lied, they're actually a woman!

Now it's sad and creepy!

I don't understand why gay men get a pass for sleeping around but hetero men and especially women get slut shamed.

...............hetro men get slut shamed??? When did THIS start???

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Circa 2012ish

It's a zoomer thing. Very recent phenomenon.

The kind of people who slut-shame are probably not that progressive towards gay men either

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

They totally are. It's this weird neo-prudishness among young people.

Is it a pass, that comment didnt sound appealing to me regardless of who wrote it.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'd go the opposite direction and say we should stop being so prudish, personally.

But at least you're consistent.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I said it doesnt appeal to me, I didnt say I judge it one way or the other. Being a prude doesnt come into it. For me the gender or orientation of that statement wouldnt change my view of the person making the comment.

I'm a straight man, but I used to work for a shitty hotel. One year they had a gay leather convention. So the hotel was sold out from out of state gay men wearing leather.

Well, I saw the greatest moment in hookup history. I was checking some guy into his room. Another guy says "Hi, I'm Tom. Are you single, and ready to play?"

And the other guy said "No. I have many boyfriends, but we're all ready to play. Come up to room 215, and bring friends. We'll make it the best room in the whole hotel!"

Which quite frankly is absurd. Room 215 is generic on it's BEST day! It's no room 321, that's for sure!

Still though. I watched a guy go from "Hi, my name is...." to ".....and thats the orgy we're hosting!" All in 2 sentences. And it was SMOOTH!!! Even I was like "Damn....I should check out this orgy......oh, right........it's all guys."

When you see how efficent that orgy proposal was, even the Germans are impressed.
