This has been sitting in a folder waiting to be written for close to a year now, but I never followed up on it because it never felt like the right time and I didn’t want to turn off my readers or scare off the wrestling & drinking fans. But guess what? Fuck it! I’m in a bad place and need to lighten the mood a bid and guess what else? We’re all adults here and anyone doesn’t like what I write or is offended by the topic matter, leave. It’s just that simple. Or you can read, laugh a little bit, say to yourself that “that dude is a freakin’ nut”, and then go read something else. That’s up to you. I’m trying to clear out some of the clutter and so here we go. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. These questions come from Reddit! The answers are from me. And the views and eye-rolling, that’s all you. Let’s do this. This is Part 2 of 2 parts. And away we go.

What was the best sword fight you ever had?

A few years ago in the toy section at Wal-Mart with my bro-son’s mini-me and two lightsabers from a Star Wars toy collection. I had the height and reach advantage, but that kid has the Force with him and is very skilled in the art of sword-fighting. We battled for several minutes before his daddy told us to quit acting like kids and behave. If you’re talking about the other kind, I cal that cock-fighting and it was a guy named Howard.

Were your family and friends supportive when you came out?

My Mom is still in denial in that she knows, but just doesn’t talk about it. The rest of my family, they’re cool with it all.

If you do it unprotected with a guy who has eaten spicy food, can you feel the spiciness on your wee-wee?

What the hell kind of question is that? Disgusting perverts. But no, no you can’t.

Does the idea of being with a woman intimately gross you out the same way a heterosexual man would be about having sex with another guy?

I have nothing against women and many of my best friends are women. I’ve also had sex with women in the past and while the oral stuff was fun, I wasn’t excited or turned on. I wasn’t grossed out by any means though. A human body is a beautiful thing and women and men both are attractive and fascinating to me. I just don’t care for the sexual parts of it with a female. No big deal.

Is it easy to pick up a dude to hook up with?

Yes. All you need is a phone and an app, or in some cases, just a little privacy.

Do you feel like people should care that you are gay?

Not really because it’s not a big deal. It’s a part of me to be sure, but then again so is being white, fat, a writer, having a dark sense of humor, being emotional, etc. It’s a part of me, but it’s not the entirety of me and whether or not you approve of that part of the package, it’s the total package that matters, not so much the sum of the parts.

How do you decide who takes or receives? Or is it both ways for each other?

Whoever is more comfortable in a position in the encounter, that’s how it goes. It depends on the person and what however they feel the most comfortable. I’m easy either way.

What the hell is a power-bottom and what is the deal with bears?

A power-bottom is someone who prefers to be penetrated but does it in a dominant fashion. Just be erect and be there and they’ll do the rest. As for bears, guys who are bigger, hairy, and look more like a truck driver than a super-model, would be considered a bear. I’ve got a belly and hate to shave so that would be me.

When was your first moment of “Oh, I’m gay now”?

Probably the first time I was talking some guy out of his clothes and getting ready to have sex.

Is there a decent proportion of gay dudes who aren’t into butt-stuff at all or is it pretty much always expected?

Some guys like it and some don’t. It just depends on the guy. I like booty, but actual penetration doesn’t excite me all that much. Everyone has different interests and activities that they like more than others. It’s all about compromise and having fun for everyone involved.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Until the next time, take care and stay safe. I’ll see you at the Pink Flamingos.
