Hummm, It&#8217;s the same discomfort that I have around clowns. My therapist would&#8217;ve had a field say with that one!)<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t dance, I&#8217;m not looking for personal slights in every fucking publication, news broadcast, or sporting event. I couldn&#8217;t care less about the implications of faggot as a hateful word, I&#8217;m not impressed with pride parades,<\/p>\n<p>In short I don&#8217;t now and frankly never have felt represented by the gay community in general.<\/p>\n<p>In point of fact when purchasing certain items of a sexual nature I&#8217;ll spend my money with 1 or 2 &#8220;gay&#8221; businesses. The rest of my bucks go to more &#8220;mainstream&#8221; businesses. (That is an oxymoronic statement when I think about the items I&#8217;m purchasing.)<\/p>\n<p>So while I do enjoy sleeping with another man, I do not identify with the &#8220;Glad hand, GAY&#8221;. My sleeping habits notwithstanding I&#8217;m first and foremost just a man.<\/p>\n<p>Sexual partners, or sexual practices such as (BDSM) shouldn&#8217;t define us, no matter how much fun they are. Our humanity and how we interact with society defines us, all the rest is secondary.<\/p>\n<p>I think that belief is why I don&#8217;t fit with the more familiar Gay community. Oh it&#8217;s not about self hate, or any of that psycho babble BS.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of men like me. We&#8217;re there in some of the bars quietly sipping our drink and wondering if there is a place where more men like us are hanging out.<\/p>\n<p>There aren&#8217;t. The closest I&#8217;ve found is one of the more renowned leather bars in the city. At least there I don&#8217;t have to worry about cross-dressers. The only issue I&#8217;ve had, has been with select members of&nbsp; the &#8220;New Leather community&#8221; and those youngsters are easy to make go away.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also run across guys like me in local neighborhood bars. More often in bars that were gay than not, but we&#8217;re to be found in almost ANY local pub.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re usually gone by the time happy hour is over. We work day jobs. We may have someone waiting at home for us. So we stop in for a drink or two. As the really young crowd start rolling in, and the music gets turned up, we start taking off.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part we just don&#8217;t connect with the &#8220;now&#8221; crowd.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand if it&#8217;s a matter of getting my dick sucked&#8230; or opening a sweet young thing for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Well at least I know which celebrity is involved in which scandal this week. So I&#8217;m able to be what they need me to be at for a few hours or until their mouths are full.<\/p>\n<p>I said I didn&#8217;t connect&#8230; never said I was stupid. Obviously I&#8217;d prefer a man like me. You know, a dude with some experience and who&#8217;s been around the block a couple of times. I&#8217;ll take an experienced lover over an exuberant one anytime.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not unhappy about not fitting in, in fact I think that being an individual is a lot more important and interesting than becoming a good little sheep. I do wish it was easier to find other men like me,&nbsp; when I do find another guy like me It&#8217;s like a miracle.<\/p>\n<p>A miracle that I appreciate with sweat, cum, and as much time as we can spend getting sweaty and unloading our balls.<\/p>\n<p>Some people go to church&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not a fashionista, Can&#8217;t recite show tunes, Cross-dressers make me uncomfortable (I&#8217;m polite but do my best to leave quickly.
