From what I understand from anatomy and men's health, an enlarged or swollen prostate can prevent men from urinating, a problem a lot of older men have, and a prostate exam to check for an enlarged prostate involves sticking a finger up the anus to feel for abnormalities. So he's not just doing foreplay, though his attitude could be a little more professional. But prostate exams are incredibly normal for men, much like OBGYN visits and Pap smears are for women, so just bought I'd put that out there. But again, his attitudes as way unprofessional--so he may be teasing him since male erotic prostate massages also involve fingers up the anus as well.
*thought
I guess we're back in health class
The mom's way too casual, "OH, did the incubus in you wake up?", like YEAH MOM, THANKS
I'm dying rn (≧∀≦)
She was all like
Yup because of this you're suddenly gay
I was so used to yaoi world paradoxes that I totally forgot--as an incubus he should be able to attract women and men, right? Lol but yaoi logic so only men, THANKS MUM, GOOD TO KNOW
The webcomic is slowly becoming of a harem/otome game style! Not that I mind, which is unusual for me, because for once the main character isn't completely doe eyed and innocent or completely dense, so I enjoy it because it's refreshing. I've also been forgetting that the mc is from our world playing out a character in theirs, which is going to have to come back in the plot somehow, making the reveal something to look forward to!
Was Tomy the uke/bottom when he shot the porn video with the he real estate agent guy? They cut away from it so I wasn't sure, I thought that's what they were planning to do, but idk? It would be a shame if his first experience was not even shown! *pout*
Pretty sure he was top. That guy's profile had him listed as a "bottom."
Thank you! I must have not noticed that very important detail lol! I feel MUCH better now!
Me: "oh, he's going to put the coat on DG to make him warmer, that works"
*Alex spoons DG to give him body warmth*
Me: ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ "t-that works too..."
I'm quite sure this may be the mysterious anthology very short story style sort of things. I think the author wanted it to be only that long, and wanted us to question and think.
As for me, I saw the narrative as concerning a man who feel suffocated and frustrated in his work/career life and it overlays with his desire to be bound like in S and M play/BDSM. He may see that as a release from maybe a job that suffocates him or perhaps a life where he has to call the shots all the time and inversely wants someone to do that for him.
It's could also be an artistic juxtaposition of how We can live our whole lives in bondage, or want to bound to someone else. It could be literal or symbolic, or both. Reminds me of that third arm story.
Lol third arms story I think is by a different mangaka. Symbolic but meaningful
I know this is def not the case here, but wouldn't it be a curveball if Joel ended up identifying as asexual or some classification of ace. Adam would have to come to terms that he would have to love Joel without sex, which has defined his character as philandering playboy up to that point. Again, not the case here and I'm totally fine with that, but wouldn't that be a curveball in the yaoi trope machine ╮(￣▽￣)╭
contrary to popular belief, asexuals can have sex -they just don't enjoy it. I've read up on an asexual forum, a lot of them let their partners have sex with them because they want to fulfill their partner's need for intimacy -but they definitely don't feel any pleasure partaking (some even described sex as a chore like cleaning out a fridge, lol). just wanted to chime in the conversation.
I'm an asexual and married you can't imagine how hard it was at the beginning of our relationship. i actually went through identity crisis because i didn't know what was wrong with me but then i learned about asexuals and that cleared alot of things
I have best friends of mine who identify as asexual, and yes there are some who identify that way or feel that way, but there are also soooo many different versions and subclassifications of asexual that mean different things to different people. I don't necessarily think Joel being asexual would mean not having sex entirely.
I think Joel refuses sexual intimacy with Adam because of a mindset and belief that men shouldn't be together because of laws and politics, and some things about giving in to sexuality and his moral ground being part of his character, and maybe a little fear and some personal identity crisis.
Joel's inner struggle and Adams remark that he should think with his lower half for a change, which rattled Joel, made me think of this, and how maybe Joel could be just struggling with his personal and sexual identity--though that probably won't be the case here, he'll probably have to overcome his predispositions, and be open to being vulnerable and to come to terms with his feelings and then he and Adam will become romantic and intimate and have 100 fujoshi babies.
I was just thinking that wouldn't it be something if in BL some semblance of an asexual orientation would be represented, or even the concept was introduced (much how like in yaoi manga the concept of bisexuality is overlooked).
I used to identify as a no-contact asexual for a good six years or so--I had no desire to have physical relationship, but I did like the concept and I could feel turned on, I just didn't care for the physical contact part. By the time I came to terms with myself, found friends who GOT IT and supported me, and had to figure out that I wasn't broken and didn't need to be fixed and I was okay with myself--I found that I could be in contact with those that I felt romantically for, I just couldn't have a physical relationship with a stranger or sex friends or anything like that. But I think coming to terms was the hardest part, and learning about the different kinds of sexuality out there in general made me realize that there is no one or the other and everyone's entitled to be different and that there's enough people out there that no two are going to be entirely alike. I'm glad that you found yourself and were able to figure out who you truly are and find a spouse/partner who understood that, through the hurdles and all. Overall though, I'm glad you can be who you always were now (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I want the AI to slightly malfunction so he can get the gentle type, heartthrob type, fiery type and more!
I think this is really cute. I'm quite certain the younger brother has a puppy love for the female cosplay version and it makes him happy, so happy he wants to stay in Japan, and can tolerate his brother. For the older brother, he's doing something he's already done (cross play), although not in his home as often, and because of it, he understands his brother and makes him happy. If anything, this will probably not be a shounen-ai or yaoi, and the "female" that the younger brother has a crush on will "move away", or something, but at that point he'll have a stronger relationship with his brother or maybe even other people. That, or younger bro finds out and has to play along anyways, but I think the French younger bro is too dense (and too cute) for that option
