Any advice? I feel crazy!

[Ohlookitssid]

I'm a 16 year old gay guy and everytime I get turned on I feel like I need to post on a hookup site (mostly Craigslist..but not for sex, just for blowjobs). I just say that I'm already 18 on there. I've done it twice before (both guys in there 30s or early 40s) and felt really bad after both times (I guess I did it because I wanted to know what it would be like) so I don't know why I want to keep posting on the site! I live in Alabama, where it's nearly impossible to find another gay/bi guy my age so I've never had a boyfriend. What should I do? Should I just wait to find a guy my age the normal way? Advice please?

That is teenage hormones for you. ITs natural for you to feel the way you are feeling, but think you should get off of craigslist before yo do something you might regret. You just got to be patient and let a boyfriend come naturally, or see if your school or town has any LGBT clubs or groups where you can meet other people.

Didn't you create a similar thread recently?

I'll reiterate: Craigslist, and hook-up sites are bad news!

Especially, for someone as young and (no offense) naive as yourself.

If you keep doing this,
you're going to have a lifetime of regret,
when you catch an STD or HIV,
or some older dude hurts, or god forbid, kills you!


Meet other teens in your predicament!


Make new friends with others that can relate and support you!


Check out this website: glbtays.org/youth


I don't know how far away you live from Huntsville, but it's a good start!


Their number is 256-886-1150


And if you're too scared to call, email them for information at [email protected]


If anything,
they can direct to other services,
if things can't work out with them.

I would advise you to be careful. You sound like you have been lucky in the past. But a16 year old guy can easily get into trouble with the wrong guy.

Its natural to feel that desire for sex, everybody feels it. you shouldn't feel guilty you are feeling what everybody feels.

I am not going to tell you to avoid this craigslist thing. I personally think its a bad idea. there are so many sick twisted wackos out there. And this could get very dangerous very fast, i hate hearing about young people getting hurt or taken advantage of. But its your life and I know hire pressing these urges can be.

All I would suggest is that you find a guy you can trust.

Now this was before Craigslist, but I know it probably still happens.....

These old guys answer ads like this that young guys post, and when they meet, they ask them if they want some kind of high paying job or they ask them if they want to "go someplace" (you might think its to dinner or something) and you end up getting abducted and sent to California to make forced porn movies.

Plus, you dont know what diseases these people have, if they are cannibals, rapists, murderers, or whatever.
