"I don't know who to believe" "we need a outside perspective" "I need to know who's telling the truth" "I don't know what's going on"
too bad!!!! that's how good stories work, there's no correct answer. it's actually really healthy to make your own interpretations and sit with the confusion while analysing the work by yourself. it also helps you to not expect every piece of media to be spoon fed to you.
I find it fascinating that (in chapter 27) how after seemingly meeting up with his brother (text message in chapter 26) Dohun emulates/shows the same kind of desperate behaviour for affection/attention similar to his brother's reactions later on. like, the emotionally needy "I NEED you to suck me off right now" very much gives off the same vibe that his brother has (although with less sexual context) towards dohun in the later chapters.
makes me doubt that some of you are above the age of 18 read more books* and develop some critical analysis skills. sometimes there's not one single answer, and you simply have to come to your own conclusion. your own moral compass does not need to adhere to the fiction you're reading.
(*I can even recommend some in the comments, even with gay themes.)
yes! here you go, sorted them into three categories
"i would like to read some of the queer literary classics":
- denton welch "in youth is pleasure"
- oscar wilde "the picture of dorian grey"
- james baldwin "giovanni's room"
- edward morgan forster "maurice"
"I would like to read something as toxic/violent (if not more) and queer as unchanged man":
- dennis cooper "the sluts"
- poppy z brite "exquisite corpse"
- porpentine "serious weakness"
"I want to read erotica with a historical and literary perspective":
- john cleland "fanny hill"
- marquise de sade's books
- anaïs nin's books
- anne rice's "sleeping beauty" books (her vampire chronicles could also be sorted under toxic and queer imo)
btwwww if any of you end up reading one of these and have some feelings about them (that aren't just "gross" or "why does it contain x") my inbox is open!!!! i love books and talking about them
If you genuinely "hate the flashbacks" i REALLY suggest going back to chapter 1 after reading the flashbacks/insight into their youth. Reading them again gives them a totally new nuance - and it's genuinely like reading it for the first time after getting all of this info about their past together. I highly recommend it!!!



what does the top mean about "complaining that your stomach hurts"???? is this a thing where people assume that being jizzed inside of = stomach ache???? like i know of the "i can feel the cum spreading inside me" trope (which is erotic, but not really a thing) but I have never heard of cum induced stomach aches
not using a condom and leaving semen inside a rectum will apparently cause diarrhea, so perhaps that line is referring to that.
I’d say you never read much bl then, because it’s pretty common thing to happen specifically with anal sx when their partner releases it inside. That’s why aftercare is important, and condom should be used always. Reading through forums and blogs, it says here that stomachache after anal is natural (i dont have any personal experience) due to trapped gas caused by movement in sx. Also, depending on how prepared the bottom is, and also the hygiene of both parties, can also affect the bacteria that can cause cramps and muscle spasms
that's crazy, had my fair share of men visiting my backdoor unprotected, and never had that problem. someone gotta tell these bottoms about psyllium
Well, men in bl come like they have unlimited juice so maybe that’s why
You say this, but also say feeling cum spread inside you is "not really a thing"? Genuinely curious what your sex is like now. As a dirty slut myself, I can 100% confirm one can feel semen spread inside them.
literally never had this sensation ever, sure - i can feel the pulsating feeling of my partner's cock when they ejaculate, but not the cum itself. i can obviously also feel it running out of me when we're done, but not the cum itself at the moment of "arrival" or anything "spreading" inside of me
Then people must have differing levels of internal sensation. O.o
