Hi I'm 30M Bi. I got scammed by a fake Gay person 46M who i met 6 months back and we both slowly liked each other he even proposed to me first everything was going great VC texting was wild i got emotionally connected to him all of sudden he started blackmailing me with my pics. At first i thought he was just pranking me but he posted some of my pics on sm. I got scared and asked what he wanted from me he said i will create an OF. You need to act as i said i was shocked i said i cannot do that please leave me but he played this dirty game for two weeks blackmailing me. But this guy along with me played the same with a few other men in which one person confronted him directly and made him apologise to everyone and Luckily he also deleted every pic of mine and others. I just want to tell you that please be careful with fake gays.

Advice or help needed Recommendations for underwear/swim briefs? NSFW

Trying to find some nice swim brief and thongs for Winter Pride but lots of them seem to be American/Australian brands that won’t ship to the UK, won’t ship in time or have shipping that costs more than the item. These are the ones I’d seen on Awry, not really into the budgie smuggler style patterns. Any recommendations would be much appreciated! Thanks

Plaid Cymru MS leaves cross-party group in culture wars row

The only Plaid member of the cross party "women and girls" group has left just days after it started.

"The withdrawal of Safa Elhassan, who represents Gŵyr Abertawe (Swansea and Gower), appears to stem from the group’s acceptance of the Supreme Court’s ruling that sex in equality legislation means biological sex only. The group will now have representatives from just three of the four main parties: Reform UK, Labour and the Conservatives."

It was really weird to be fair, to not know whether or not I was going to survive, but not able to trust our health services to treat me like a human being.

I ended up being okay after a few awful days of waiting out the side effects, but these guidlines are causing deaths, trans people in the uk are undergoing a silent genocide, so please, if you have avoided care because of these guidelines, speak up, don't let them kill us with no records to show it.

Greater London F 35 BI London Married

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a 35-year-old bi woman living in London. I’m British with a Pakistani background, married, and my husband knows about my sexuality and is completely supportive.

I’d love to connect with other bi women, whether that’s chatting online, swapping experiences, or meeting up for a coffee if we click. I’ve found it isn’t always easy to find people who get what it’s like to be bi, especially when you’re juggling culture, family, and a marriage, so a community of people who understand would mean a lot.

I’m after genuine connections with kind, respectful people. If you’re a bi woman in London or elsewhere in the UK and fancy a chat, feel free to DM me.

Im bisexual, ive known for a long time but ive never admitted it to anyone for fear of rejection.

I have a girlfriend and not looking to be unfaithful as shes my best friend and I care dearly for her. I just want a friend who I can be myself with. Male, female, trans, gay, lesbian, it doesnt matter to me. I just want to be able to talk openly, have fun (not of a sexual nature) and build a lasting friendship. Equally I would be a good friend to you.

Only serious replies please 🙏

Vent - Advice wanted Newly bi and struggling

1 Upvotes

Recently out of a long term relationship and have been looking to try something casual with another guy.

I'm pretty stereotypical masculine, stubble, chest hair etc, and find myself attracted to more feminine features.

I feel like I get absolutely no interest from those I find attractive and am starting to find it a little soul crushing when there seem to be so many parameters to adhere to.

Anyone else felt this?

Advice or help needed (28M) Worried that when I get a partner, I won't be attracted to them anymore

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm currently single (and very terminally single at that 😂), but I just wanted to air a thought that has been lingering for a while.

I'm worried that when I get into a relationship with someone I'm attracted to, I'll stop feeling attracted to them if they change something about themself at some point.

I want to find some way of dealing with that, but I don't want to make things awkward nor would I want to upset whoever becomes my partner.

Say, I get with a guy who has a dad bod, for example. I think dad bods are Hot(with a capital H). If he decides to lose the dad bod one day, I'll respect that and I'm not going to try and convince him to keep it, but then I'm worried that I'll stop being attracted to him and that it'll have an impact on our sex life and whatever else applies. I don't want to make things awkward between myself and the dad bod guy nor do I want to upset him.

How do I approach such a situation in a mature, respectful and sensitive manner? I wouldn't want to end the relationship over it because I think it's childish and immature to end it over.

Please note that I don't desire to control the appearance of whoever becomes my future partner for my own gain or pleasure. I don't like the idea of controlling whoever turns out to be my future partner or how they look, so please don't assume that's what I want to do.

Where do I start?

9 Upvotes

So, I'm a 50 year old woman who has always being in relationships with men but I'm finally admitting that I really want to be with a woman and have done for a long time. Thing is, I don't know where to start. I would totally understand other women being hesitant to get involved with me as I have kids and have only been with men. It's like there's a whole world out there and I'm not sure how to access it. Do I just go on dating apps? Are there better ways to meet women, given my history? I'm very sincere and looking for commitment once I find the right person.

Events Moved to London with no queer friends, so I joined a rugby team

13 Upvotes

Hey all! I'm part of the London Stags, a queer rugby club in South London, and we've got a touch rugby new members day this Saturday (24th Oct). It's non-contact mixed gender, so everyone's welcome. Rather than just dropping the event details, I wanted to share my own experience of joining.

I moved to London a couple of years ago and didn't really have any queer friends, apart from a few random hookups 😅 Then one of the Stags' posts popped up on my Instagram, and right after Christmas I went along for a trial.

I'm not going to pretend I was confident about it.. I was overweight, I'd never played a team sport in my life, and the idea of joining a new team was really daunting. What scared me most was walking into friendship groups that had been around for years and never really feeling part of them.

On my first day, one of the existing members, Max, came over and asked how I was doing, whether it was my first time and if I knew anyone. He was incredibly sweet and made sure I felt comfortable.

Then training started. I'd never even held a rugby ball, but it was surprisingly not that hard to handle it and pass it around with the other newbies who'd joined the same day. Putting us all together was actually a really smart move by the club. It was easy to find people with the same anxiety I had, and much easier to bond when we were all starting from the same level.

By the end of it, rugby didn't feel like an impossible sport anymore, and the community around the club turned out to be so supportive. Now some of my best friends in London are from the club, and joining was one of the best decisions I've made since moving here.

If you're in London and any of that sounds familiar, come along on Saturday! You can find all the details on Instagram: @thelondonstagsrfc

Any questions, just drop them below or DM me :)

Not sure if this has been mentioned but there's a "womens and girls" cross party group that's been set up in the Senedd.
reading the info it claims to support women and girls but most of what it will do is be as anti-trans as possible.
