"Waiting Outside The Lines 23" There's a comfort that you experience in the arms of someone you have feelings of true love for that you can't quite explain, but you recognize it when it surrounds you. It's the kind of safety a small child feels in the arms of his own mother, but more intense. More direct. It goes beyond just the sexual feelings that I felt for Greyson. This was a much deeper connection, a perfect tangle of two kindred spirits finding one another after a long search th

Lockie Leonard is hard to find. I DID find it once a few years back, but it was on my hard drive, and my laptop broke. So I don't know if I'll ever find it again. Another funny coming of age series that you might wanna check out, though, is Hank Zipzer! I enjoyed that one too!

First few minutes...takes me back to being that age, and dealing with...ummm...'that'. LOL!

Sweet! Thanks, Jeff! And yes, it can be heartbreaking in places, but this is what happens. And one of the reasons that the world is like this is because other people think they're NEVER going to be in the same position. They NEVER think they're going to be the odd man out. And it's disgusting. Why do we have to suffer ourselves before we can sympathize with someone else? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Anyway, I definitely suggest that everyone watch it. Share it. If you get a chance, let the folks that put this movie together know that you liked it. Because we need more films like this. It might just make a difference. Thanks for the link, dude!

My thoughts...I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all, but I'm conflicted, nonetheless... ...I only say this because I am certain that it would drive me crazy on a personal level. Even if I was had over heels in love, I don't think I'd ever be able to truly consider myself 'comfortable' with someone that I met that way. So I'm not sure if it's just me being weird, or if there's a flaw in the culture itself. A close friend of mine once started fooling around with a girl that he knew was somebody else's fiancé. Which...I didn't agree with, but she was into it, and they enjoyed sneaking around, so...not my business, right? Well, the wedding never happened, and they decided to become a couple. Less than a year later, he was heartbroken because she was cheating on him. And all I could think was, "Well...yeah. What did you expect?" As Bobby Jinette says in "Billy Chase"...there is ALWAYS somebody more beautiful, more convenient, or in closer proximity, to the person you're willing to promise your heart and soul to. ALWAYS! I can't tell you how many tears I've shed over the years, simply because some cutie was 'available' when I wasn't. So I have a serious bias. How can I trust someone who can just as easily 'right swipe' somebody to find a quick night of intimacy as they did when they first found me? And vice versa. Growing up, there were people who I absolutely despised for everything they were...but DAMN, were they cute!!! I would have jumped on them in a heartbeat! LOL! In the same respect, there were people that I wasn't originally attracted to at all, but after spending time with them and getting to know them better, I felt like "Why am I not chasing HIM around a dating site? My life would be SO much better if we could date and laugh ourselves silly on a daily basis!" But these are lessons that I learned out of necessity. Over time and through trial and error. And I feel better for it. But...would I have learned about inner beauty and compromise and shared interests...if I could just go to a gallery of hot boys and pick the first one that made me horny? If I could meet up with a guy and have sex...no dinner, no drinks, no movie, no build up? What would be the point? I think I understand now why so many people sometimes get frustrated with the stories I write. Why angst and patience is such a sin. I enjoyed the awkward conversation with a cute boy that I just happened to meet on accident. I enjoyed the flirty suggestions, and the warm blushes, and fidgety hands, and the 'is he or isn't he?' guesses about his sexual preferences. That was always a huge part of the thrill of dating to me. If it was just a matter of picking a hot boy and saying, "Let's meet up and fuck. See you at eight!", it would be hot, and it might even turn into something more if the stars align just right...but it wouldn't make for much of a story later on. "How did you guys meet?" "I clicked on an app, said hello, and his dick look nice, so I went to his house and we traded fluids. The end." I don't know. I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. And a chronic masturbator! LOL! So I don't need to bring other people into my obsessive need to get off. I can do that on my own. But...touch my heart? Consider me sold! Just be gentle with me. I've been hurt before. Anyway, I've been writing a story about this, and I'd love to hear more of your ideas on this topic! Loving what I read so far! And I'm not against this kind of dating at all. I'm JEALOUS that I didn't have this kind of interaction when I was a teenager! If you had told a 14 year old Comsie that I could get a boy from my gym class to jack off for me on his cell phone, I would have fainted and never woken up again! If you wanted to see another guys penis, yo had to be brave enough to peek at them in the boy's shower! LOL! But that little bit of challenge and difficulty made it worthwhile. It wasn't so easy. But when has 'easy' ever really built character? You know?

Times change! It's inevitable. And technology changes the way we do things in the world, especially when it comes to interacting with one another. But, narrowing the topic down to one specific subject this time around, let's talk about dating in the 'left swipe/right swipe' age! What are your thoughts on that? I understand that some of you are young and haven't really experienced dating before the cell phone era, and that some of you are older and aren't into that kind of dating now, but we'd love to hear what you think about this as well. Has dating become too 'easy' in this day and age? And does easy mean that it's more superficial? Instead of meeting someone pleasing and funny and trustworthy to go out with, has then been reduced to a series of photos, and someone scrolling through them thinking, 'nope, nope, not cute enough, not tall enough, nope, ooh! He's beautiful!'? What happens to the folks who <I>don't</I> have the rock hard abs, or the 9 inch penis, or the wavy blond hair? And can this substitute for getting to know the people you ask out for a date be dangerous? Does it promote overtly sexual behavior? I mean...sure, you might pick somebody and talk to him first to make sure that he's not a serial killer...but what made you pick that person in the first place? Was it his personality and his charm? Or was it just a hot profile pic and a close proximity to where you live? Dating in the digital can be a brand new place for people to be open and honest about who they are and what they want. Or...it can be a virtual glory hole at your local truck stop, inviting relationships that might be fleeting, or even unsafe. So what do you think about the nature of dating online and with digital apps and the like! Give us your feedback for Imagine Magazine below!

I won't lie, but this movie can be hard to watch in its last 30 to 45 minutes. But I truly think it's worth the discomfort, as it really hammers home the gritty reality of what it is like for a lot of people to be gay in certain parts of this country, and indeed, the world. This movie takes place in what you might call an alternate universe. Where being gay is the standard, and being heterosexual is actually seen as a sin and a disease amongst 'normal' people. This is also a world where religion is SUPER involved in this particular community, and there will be some heavy religion bashing in this movie as well. Just letting our religious Shackers know ahead of time. It surrounds two or three different stories. One is about a female football star (Yes, gender roles have been switched around in this new world, as well), who discovers that she's heterosexual and begins to have a secret love affair with a boy she meets in school. The second story is about a girl in middle school who develops feelings for a boy in her class, and suffers bullying at the hands of his older sister. The third story is about a teacher who is putting on a play of 'Romeo and Julio', but dares to change it to Romeo and Juliette...with a heterosexual couple being the focus of the story. The whole movie, when you watch it, seems really bizarre at first. But I LIKE that! Because it really shows us all how brainwashed we are to believe that life is supposed to work one way and not another. It shouldn't be uncomfortable to think that a girl could play football, or that two people could love one another without it being dirty and wrong, or that people could have two dads and two moms. Why is that so weird? It causes you to ask yourself just how 'programmed' you are. So, very cool. However, as I said, the third act of this movie goes to a very dark and brutal place, but it's realistic. I mean...'truth' right? Anyway, I think it's important for people to see this. Gay and straight and everywhere in between. It's a movie that might shake some people out of their comfort zones and put some deeper thought into what gay teens go through on a day to day basis. The dangers they face, and the prejudices working against them. Check it out! I loved it!

OMIGOD!!! XD I think that is the cutest thing I've ever seen! ::Melts:: Awww, I feel all warm and fuzzy now!

Flirting? I am definitely guilty in the respect! Hehehe! I will admit to being a notorious flirt at times, but if I was in a relationship...I would immediately put boundaries on that. I mean, deep down, I know that I'm not looking to cheat on someone that I truly care about...but does HE know that? That's the real question. I would definitely be insecure about someone I really loved flirting with somebody else. That's just me. Especially if it was done right in front of me. But...I measure that against my own intentions. I wouldn't flirt 'heavily' with another person unless I had some intention of getting romantically involved with them. And, I'll be honest, I get MORE nervous when my flirtations work! Hehehe, it terrifies me! There is no smooth talking, confident, Romeo in me. Sorry to spoil the fantasy! Flirting is kind of difficult for me. I goof around a lot and play games...but my heart gets all wrapped up in the idea sometimes (VERY FEW cuties get this level of fear from me, hehehe! Like, I have to really REALLY feel like I'm falling head over heels in LOVE with somebody before I confess it to them! They have to be so sweet, and so cute, and so amazingly full of compassion and understanding and humor and all that, before I even take the first step down that road. So...I might flirt, harmlessly, with people in general. But in more serious matters...::Giggles::...if you see me flirting with you...then I'm probably ALREADY in love! LOL! Sad but true!

Flirting! The art of bringing those nervous butterflies and bright blushes out of someone you fancy, or someone who fancies you. Flirting can be playful and vague, or more direct and to the point. Sometimes it can be harmless...and sometimes it can be a form of sexual harassment! (Learn to take a hint, people! Geez!) This time around, I want to hear your thoughts on flirting. Is it really just a fun little 'game' that you play to flatter someone? Or is it something that you do to show real interest, hoping to achieve a desired result? Is it really harmless? If you were in a relationship with a notorious flirt...would it bother you? Does flirting online count? is it more dangerous for LGBT folks to flirt? Do you think that you're any good at it? Hehehe! Let us know your thought! This week's topic for Imagine Magazine is 'flirting'! Spill your feelings about it! Whatever they may be!

Big thanks to all of you who took a few moments to comment on the 'Heartbreak' question last week. I truly appreciate your input. It can be a difficult thing to talk about, but that's the whole point of me asking the question. It's our opportunity to tell our story and hopefully help somebody else through the hard times that WE went through! You know? Anyway, thanks. I'll hold the answers I got in the archives, and I may bring this one up again so we can get a few more answers in the future. Cool? (My answer to the 'heartbreak' question has just been added. https://www.voy.com/15900/88492.html) Anyway, this topic is all about the concept of 'gaydar'! Does it exist? Can you guys tell when another person of the same sex is gay/bi/lesbian just from your interactions with them? Is this a real thing? Sometimes people are rather open with their sexuality, but not always. Is there an instinct or a sixth sense that lets you know who might be a possibility when it comes to asking them out on a date? And if you can tell what OTHER people are looking for...do you think they can tell the same about you? What are your thoughts on 'gaydar'? And how well does it work for you? Or 'against' you, for that matter? Let us know! We should talk about this! Reply below!

LOL! What would life be without me? I dunno.... More ice cream. Less porn. That's my guess! Thanks D! Mwah!

I think my favorite short films this year were "Blinky", "Don't Look Away", and "Itsy Bitsy Spiders"! Those are my top three, with "The Artifice" coming in as a very close 4th! I look forward to seeing what these online directors come up with next year! Hehehe! Loved it!

Too many to talk about really. And I've never gotten used to it. I'll be honest and say that it would take me forever to talk about all the boys that have come along and truly broken my heart. Some, to the point where I just didn't want to 'be here' anymore. Oh God, the pain I've been through trying to love someone else is something that I can't even put into words. Sighhhh...rite of passage, I guess. I'll also be honest and say that there is one heartbreak that I really don't want to talk about here. Even though it has been one of the most devastating that I've ever faced. And yet, that story is ongoing. So, that's for another time. One major heartbreak that I WILL talk about here, however...deals with my best friend, Mike. We were barely 14 when we met. This was the Summer before our froshman year of high school. It took about an hour for us to bond. It was just immediate! Now, I know that I like cute boys and that being cute is a good way to get me to approach you. Hehehe, but I didn't even know that I liked him in that way just yet. We just got along from the start. And I fell in love. I really did. It was just like a Comicality story. We met in school, then took the same bus home every day, then had a bunch of classes together, and then found out we had lunch at the same time, then found out we lived two blocks away from each other...and he was so CUTE! LOL! The problem...Mike is straight. The love? It doesn't go away. It stays forever. So I loved him all through high school. Loved him when he went away to college and would take trips to visit and party with him and his friends. Loved him when he came back home, and we moved into a tiny apartment together. (Creating sexual frustration that created this very website!) Loved him the whole time I was writing stories online and he was doing things on his own. Loved him through my frightening 'coming out' speech to him and waiting nearly two weeks for him to believe me. Loved him through his dating a woman who was so super cool that I couldn't help but to give my permanent thumbs up. And I even stood at his wedding. I love him NOW! He's actually been in my life for more years than he has NOT been in my life at this point. We stuck by one another through good times and bad. Got into fights together, went drinking together, and God forbid anyone that would dare to come between us for ANY reason. But...I can't have him. That's just the way it goes. And I've had my heart broken over and over and over again for decades now because of it. It's not that he doesn't love me in his own way, but wishing for anything more than that will always ache a little bit. Loving someone that can't love you back...there's no greater pain than that. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Anyway, that's my heartbreak story. ((Hugz)) To you guys for adding a little something of your own.

Got back into the swing of things this morning. Still...when I break away from my online life, it's like I'm exhausted to the point where I can't stay awake for more than twenty minutes at a time. I literally pass out from fatigue. I think it's just the emotional drain. It can be just as draining as working in a coal mine for 12 hours a day. And it sounds ridiculous to even suggest that...but it's true. Some days I'm too sore to move. Like...WTF did I do that was so special today? Ugh...more than you know.

It happens. Don't think that it won't find you some day...because it will. This topic is all about you guys sharing your heartbreak with us. That can mean a variety of things. Whatever your personal experience is...feel free to share it with the rest of us. Loving someone and exposing the most vulnerable parts of your heart and your soul...only to be betrayed or rejected later, can be a devastating experience. God knows that I've channeled a great deal of heartache and pain into my stories on this site. And let me tell you, it doesn't get any easier. If you think you're going to be able to build up a tolerance to having someone simply 'not love you'...good luck with that. If you ever figure out that formula, put it in a bottle and sell me a case of it. K? So tell us of a significant broken heart situation in your life. What happened? Were you in a relationship at the time? Were you cheated on? Did things just...go astray? How old were you? Was it your first crush? How did you get over it? <I>DID</I> you get over it at all? Maybe it was a relationship that simply didn't work out. Maybe it wasn't a relationship at all. Maybe it was somebody you had serious feelings for...but they weren't gay. Or unavailable, or promised to someone else, or simply not interested. Whatever your thoughts are on the heartbreak you've all faced in your lives...feel free to put it here and relieve yourself of the burden. Talk about it. Why not? You know? Interested to see what you guys have to say on this one! I'll add two or three heartbreaks of my own and give details when I get a chance! Just know that you are loved. And the 'real thing' takes time. Just remember that, and never give up the hope that you'll eventually find someone to love you the way you deserve to be loved. K? That person is out there. And they're lonely too...
