Infatuation, “I Love You” and the Single Gay Man


Don’t mix up infatuation and sex....

YOU:  The Sexual Drought Is Over:
You’re a married man and a family man. You’ve not had sex with your wife for a long time. She’s not interested – and she’s expressed that in no uncertain terms. There’s no physical intimacy, no kiss on departure or arrival from each other, no opportunity to discuss your physical and sexual needs.

Since your sexual relations finished you’ve masturbated a lot in private, you’ve had a couple of affairs with women and now you’ve found man-to-man sex. All the pent-up desires for hot, involved sex have begun tumbling out and being realised. The first few encounters were tentative, a bit fumbled in their execution, but you learnt a lot – and fast.

Even though you’ve really only had a couple of M2M encounters you’re really enjoying life because you’ve found a man who is not only great in bed but is also a totally enjoyable man to be in the company of. You enjoy his touch, his smile, his laughter, his agreeable way of looking at the world the way you do. You see that there is amazing simpatico between the two of you – or so it seems. You reluctantly leave his company to return to your family life whilst inwardly you can’t wait to be in contact with him again.

You want to say that you love him. Tell him that he’s exactly what you’ve been longing for during those long sexless years you’ve endured. That together, you could be the happiest you’ve ever been.

HIM:  “Not Looking For A Relationship”
Do you remember reading that on his profile?  In your head you agreed with that, as you are also in no position to set up a full time relationship beyond the family. Unbeknown to you the sex he initiated and shared with you was what he shares with all his dates. Chances are he’s been having M2M sex for a very long time and is somewhat skilled at giving a newbie a great time. He knows that your inexperience means that he can make you think that he’s a skilled lover particularly by making sure that all your needs are met – and surpassed.

If he’s easy to talk with, then chances are that you’ll find this a winning combination and that you’ll be back for more. He may not be thinking that at all – he may simply see you as a good f**k, someone who was conveniently available at the time he felt horny, perhaps he’s happy to see you once more or even add you to his regular f**k buddy list. He’s also happy to put you out the door as quickly as he can after sex has concluded and go on with his life without any commitment having being made. He knows that there are multitudes of horny men out there in his city whom he could play with. There’s the thrill of the chase and the conquest of bedding a total stranger, both of which are his rationale for being on the dating website. Every new man is a challenge, a different taste, a different tactile sensation –  two hours of hot unbridled sex without any ongoing commitment. Dip in, dip out. Chase, conquer but don’t commit.

YOU:  How Do I Tell Him That I Love Him?
In a word you – DON’T!  The above is not an unusual scenario for a single gay man of any age. For you as an inexperienced bi-curious man it’s important to realise this is the norm in gay dating. Sure, a few good sex sessions can often lead to a more personal intimacy and friendship but it’s wise to remember that’s not what he is initially looking for.

If your new man has broken the long sexual drought that you’ve endured, given you back your energy and enthusiasm for intimate bodily contact and mixed that with a masculine friendship that has long been missing from your life, then that is a fantastic gift. But, it’s NOT the time to open your mouth and declare any form of love or romance to him. Yes, the situation fulfills your deep and longingly sought after expectations but this is only the first romantic blossoming in your new world of man-to-man enjoyment – and it’s all only in your head. Be patient as there will be many more to follow.

To declare your intimate inner thoughts after just a couple of sex sessions will threaten his personal space – and your phone will no longer ring for no-strings sex with him. Love and sex in the world of single gay men all too rarely go hand in hand until a much longer passage of time has past. Enjoy the sex, enjoy the conversation – but at those initial sex romps don’t dump the heavy stuff on him. Let time take its course.

You’ll be surprised how many nice men are out there waiting to share non-committed sex with you. And if you are in a position to enjoy it, then one of those, in due course, will talk to you about sharing more quality time together. In the meantime simply have fun with every horny man you can beguile in to bed knowing that tomorrow there is more, and perhaps even better, than what you enjoyed today.
