When the time comes for you to embrace your first gay date you are most likely feeling a lot of different things. Being nervous is completely expected, as it is a date after all. However, don’t make it too momentous in your mind. There is nothing to fear about the process of gay dating.
The gay lifestyle is a different culture in many ways, but the reality is that whether you’re going on a gay date or a straight date people are pretty much just people. You may (if you’ve been hiding under the straight persona for awhile) be exposed to the lifestyle in a totally unexpected way, though.
If there were any two basic social standards that a gay date would require of you it would fall under two basic categories. First, you don’t want to be outed just because someone saw you with a same sex date, and others around you would appreciate the same respect. Not everyone is ready to come tearing out of the closet on someone elses terms.
You’re not alone. Most people start to go through some emotional ups or downs right before they go out on their first gay date. In most cases this has something to do with being self accepting and open to possibilities. In some cases it’s a fear of that first sexual encounter.
That sort of puts you and the someone you might know in the same situation. Most people in the gay community know that outing someone else is just not cool.
A date is really just about having some fun with another person. However that might work out for you is fine. There are no hefty expectations and there will be no odd little ritual you have to perform in order to be accepted by the community. Just be who you are, and be as genuine as possible, and you will find that your first gay date really isn’t scary at all.

Is there anything special that you need to know about your first gay relationship? If you’re looking to figure out how to be with and love another man, there are a great number of variables. A good match is going to be one that gives you the freedom to grow and learn while feeling safe and loved. Having a great sex life on top of it all certainly doesn’t hurt.
The secret to a good and healthy gay relationship is the same secret that makes all the relationships in your life either healthy or unhealthy. Does your partner respect you? Do you respect him? Do the two of you work through issues or does one of you turn toward some sort of mind altering substance while the other one broods in a corner? A healthy relationship is found in our behaviors toward each other.
There are plenty of men who find that they have to develop some balancing skills in order to keep their personal life, including their gay relationship, and professional life in check. Many just keep the two lives completely separate while others embrace the idea of being able to allow one life to enhance the other. Part of this depends on what you do for a living and how your personal life can benefit it and vice versa.
This applies to the best and the worst aspects of being a gay man in a relationship. You’ll learn that there are places in the world that you are not acting within your best interest to be openly affection and you will learn that there are other places in the world where you and your boyfriend are most welcome.
You will learn that being in a gay relationship takes work just like any other relationship. It still requires the ability to communicate and the ability to meet the needs of your partner. The basics of the relationships don’t really change whether it is a straight relationship, lesbian relationship, or a gay relationship. Relationships require an understanding of each other.
Being able to develop a good balance and still maintaining your personal code of life is not that difficult once you find that comfortable place. Just because you are in a gay relationship doesn’t mean that you can’t develop a highly nurturing and supportive prospect between the two of you. It also means that you can find yourself in an abusive relationship. Learning to look at your relationship through the eyes of a thriving gay man might take a little time. You and your partner will face challenges and good times just like everyone else.
Listening to the general rhetoric about gay relationships is like deciding that you will never be able allowed to be in a good relationship because of your sexual identity. There is no reason to put stock in this. You can do the things that all men in any relationship do to develop good love relationships. You simply get to do it with another man.
Do you want to take your relationship to the the next level? Then you should consider using adult toys as these nifty little gadgets may be perfect for you. You couldn’t wish for better tasting medicine that will magically change a mediocre sexual experience into an orgasmic enjoyment that will leave everyone completely satisfied.
More often than not the differences between couples that enjoy a healthy sex life together and those that find it hard, centers around their philosophy toward sex. Having a happy carefree mental outlook and the capacity to communicate openly without shyness or the slightest bit of disconcertion are what those couples that are more intimately advanced share. How do they get to that point? They selected to include sex toys into their sexual and intimate personal life.
Introducing any new ideas into intimate relations is normally a rather delicate matter which is why it’s critical to take it slowly. Wearing erotic clothing is a fantastic way to start, especially as a prelude to an erotic massage with scented essential oils or lubes. Massage isn’t intrusive and assists with creating a relaxed feeling in which to feel untroubled about trying new things out. Vibrators do come in all sizes, shades and colors; but it is wise to start with something as simple and uncomplicated as possible if you or your partner hasn’t had too much experience using marital aids. This certainly means that you should not introduce any oversized dildos until you’ve both become accustomed to playing with a variety of gentle erotic toys and bedroom accessories. Your experience should be exciting and fun at this stage. Ticklers also offer an ideal starting point for all your future adult toys antics.
Cubby and I have been exploring some kinkier play. He wants to play in a sling, but he’s a big boy and I am a little worried about whether hooks in my ceiling will hold him? Any advice?

Sheetrock isn’t designed to support any weight except maybe a potted plant. Sadly, the answer depends – what size beam are you looking to hang from – obviously a 4×4 is stronger than a 2×4. So, first and foremost you need to know what you are working with. Once you do, you can usually go to your local lumber yard (you know the place with all those gruff men you like so well) and they can probably tell you what your beam can support.
Another consideration is how many hooks are being used. Typically, you divide the load by the number of hooks thus 4 hooks would support more than 3. Import to make sure the cub (we won’t call him the load) is distributive equally – the chains are equal in length. If one chain is shorted then it bears more of his weight.
Also, make sure the chains and the clips being used are rated so you know their strength. I have had the experience of having a clip break and having poor cubby land on his skull – not fun).
And when in doubt, we always turn to our resident engineering lesbian leather slave (what you don’t have one at your company?) who has a knack for building things!
Determining how much weight a ceiling can hold is a function of the type of ceiling as well as the type of suspension. The following scenario will likely allow you to hang a sling and expect it to hold a 250 pound cub even when he is bouncing around a lot. To support a 250 pound cub, you would want to insert 4 eyebolts horizontally into the beams that are at least 2” x 6”. On a 2’ x 6” beam, the holes for the eyebolts should be 2½” from the bottom of the beam (so, essentially centered on the beam). You need to use at least ¼” eyebolts (not eyescrews) and you need two ¼ inch fender washers on each eyebolt – one on the “eye’ side of the beam and one on the nut side of the beam. I would use ¼” welded chain to suspend the sling from the eyebolts. It is important to make sure the beams are secure and that the welded chains not have any breaks in them. Using ¼ chain and eyebolts, etc, you can probably use three points of suspension as well as four. I hope this helps.

Also, you simply cannot do this on your own – so for those men feeling courageous, you are going to need the missus, it’s a job for two unfortunately and for something so technical, a woman’s knowledge is vital!
Send away for the matching skin colour, and the end result will be exactly like the real thing, except it will vibrate.

A romantic relationship is not built entirely upon good sex, but good sex is definitely an key element of a lasting union. If you and your partner have been feeling bored with each other lately, you might think about spicing things up a bit by trying some new and imaginative sex positions. You can experiment on your own and discover a whole range of things you may not have tried before, or you can rely upon the ancient wisdom of the Kama Sutra for ideas to try. Karmasutra positions may be what you need to re-ignite the sexual spark that drew you into a relationship in the first place .
Of course, the sexual aspects of your relationship do not define your whole relationship and are not the sole reason you remain together. So, if one of you is feeling like the sex is just not any good anymore, maybe you need to look beyond the sexual to see what else may be going on between you. Factors that you may not believe to be related to sex could be having an immense influence on your levels of desire. If one of you is feeling a lot of work-related stress, that could easily interfere with amorous interest, as could fighting off a disease or coping with depression. Try to look at your partner’s total situation to discover if you can determine what might be causing him or her to lose interest in intimacy with you.
Diet can be an easily overlooked element in general health, as well as in sexual desire. Try to eat a balanced diet of freshly prepared foods that are not laden with artificial sweeteners, sugar and unpronounceable chemical additives. Grass-fed meats, eggs from free-range chickens and organically produced fruits and vegetables will all contribute to an improvement in your overall health, which could easily translate into enhanced interest in sex. Regular exercise is also an important factor in maintaining libido. If you and your partner eat well and exercise frequently, good side effects can be reduced levels of stress, elevated mood and a return to a healthy interest in sex.
Don’t neglect spending time with your partner in settings that do not necessarily imply a sexual conclusion. Sometimes just eating a good meal or enjoying live music together will enhance your sense of belonging in each others lives. When you are comfortable around each other and enjoy experiencing other things together, a happy sex life is an almost inevitable result. Once that physical spark returns, feel free to explore new sexual positions, natural aphrodisiacs and looking at Kamasutra images for keeping the spark alive!

If you are looking for a simple guide that states how to put a condom on then follow the 15 straightforward steps beneath:
1. Erection
It would seem like an obvious point to make but you must have an erect penis prior to attempting to put a condom on. Roll down the condom over the erect penis prior to any vaginal, oral or anal contact is made.
2. Damage
Before you put the condom onto the penis make sure that the foil wrapping which houses the condom is not torn nor has signs of any wear and tear. For instance, if the foil has a slippery feel to it this is an indication that a (lubricated) condom has lost an amount of its lubrication due to damaged packaging. Do not use a damaged condom as the probability is that it will not be effective.
3. Expiry date
All condoms have an expiry date. Ensure that you look at the date before using a condom. For your own safety and peace of mind don’t use a condom that has passed its expiry date.
4. Tear open
When opening the condom foil use your hands to open the airtight packaging in the middle or at the notch. Be careful not to rip the condom with nails or any sharp objects. Do not use your teeth to open the packaging with – this is just asking for trouble.
5. Right way up
Ensure that the part of the condom that unrolls is on the outside before placing onto the penis to make sure that you have it on the right way round.
6. Be gentle
Softly pull back the foreskin of the erect penis.
7. Squeeze
In order to make space for the semen after ejaculation squeeze the tip of the condom between the thumb and the forefinger to expel any air from this area.
8. Unrolling
Hold the tip of the condom between your forefinger and thumb and use the other hand to roll the condom down the length of the penis. If you accidentally put the condom on the wrong way round and it won’t unfold you will need to throw the condom away as the clear pre-ejaculation fluid on the end of the penis contains sperm that can carry sexually transmitted infections. Once a condom has touched the penis it can’t safely be turned over and used the correct way round.
9. Lubricant (if needed)
If you require some additional lubrication make sure that it is water-based if your condom is made of latex. Oil based lubes damage latex condoms.
10. Intercourse
During intercourse it is advisable to always change a condom if you’re moving from anal to any other type of intercourse.
11. Ejaculation
After ejaculation has occurred hold the rim of the condom to the base of the penis and withdraw. The sperm should remain inside the condom.
12. Shrinkage
Assure that you pull the penis out of the condom whilst still erect as if it ispermitted to return to a flaccid state the seal of the condom to the penis will fail.
13. Don’t forget to tie a knot
As soon as the penis is pulled out of the condom tie a knot in the end to avoid leakage. Do not forget a condom should only be used once.
14. Disposal
Once you have finished with the condom, dispose of it in a dustbin. Don’t place down the toilet as it will pollute the system.
15. Wash your hands
