Recently went for a long walk, met a fella, made out, was joined in the dark by a third. I'm a bit freaked out by my behaviour somewhat. It's ok, but at the same time.... Am I nuts!!?!!

well you didn't get stabbed in the neck multiples times so that's kinda a good thing.

If you are now wondering if you are nuts, and you're saying you're a bit freaked by it, then maybe cruising is not for you. Have you considered contacting gay swtichboard to talk about it?

As long as you are comfortable with the consequences that may occur then its your life basically. You have to weigh up the chances of STDs, being caught George Michael style, or a not so friendly third party, etc.

Was it good.

An STD

I'm not so much shocked to hear that these things happen but I still get a sense of unease.

why?

Funny thing is, I don't do it that often and probably won't. It was good enough for me at the time, but I'm understanding that there is always a risk. I am responsible for my own actions however.
I wouldn't want to put anyone else in danger, but yes that's the risk that some take.
I also understand the unease of the fellow poster above.
It could become habit forming, and it's definitely no substitution for a proper one on one, day in day out relationship.
Appreciate the comments made though.

Since then I've been in an unofficial relationship that's gone by the way of the Dodo by now. I haven't cruised since that last time.
Naf how things work out?

so you are silver surfer. I did wonder where you came out of. Good idea to change the name as the old one made you sound like an OAP and i immediately switched off. Still though name changes are annoying.

True. The other was my original, and when I decided to get back to posting, I took it up, back to basics. Silver surfer suits me better, I think. I'll stick to that from now.

Yeah but that's what OAPs who learn to use the web call themselves

heh.. ah shit.

Surely everyone would feel that response when the try it for the first time, whether it is for them or not?
