Jay with his hair down.... ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Anywho, I love this story...but the low vibrations be bumming me out sometimes. Lol. I need some more brighter energy. I know it'll takes time to see big changes in the FL but I want her to dump it all and start living for herself more. I want a metamorphosis that says I was never meant to live this miserable life and I won't let it control me any further. Leave that house and all that has held me back and burn it to the ground. Fearing to pursue new love and opportunities shouldn't be looked at as negative, but building blocks to life and character development. Whether it works with this guy or not.

I knew there had to be something and that the ML in fact does like the MC and is the first who he's shown genuine interest in. Because there was no way he didn't he was questioning small matters when it came to him and didn't want their relationship to be based on hooking up/sex. There's still some things that can be worked on. But there was definitely no way he doesn't like the MC. IDK who else feels this way?

I hate chapters like this....and when one partner is pushing some hyper sexual punishment. It's annoying!( ̄へ ̄)

Yeah because Karlyle has always been able to express his discomfort in situations. He clearly was showing distress for the punishment. Lyle is head over hills for Ash and has no problem with hardcore sex with Ash...but it's definitely in a more traditional way. Telling me to come meet you and than asking me if I want to be fucked in public or behind close doors is very much sick. How about we just don't use sex as a way of punishment. If you want to try some kinky shit, say that so it can be received and than decided on if both want to take part in it. But trying to mask if off as some cute lovers punishment is fucking crazy and disturbing. An apologize definitely should have been sufficient enough.

I miss when ppl were scared they'd get an STI from sleeping around ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ ....like being that back.

my brother, i think you are afraid of intimacy and have been taught to slutshame.
there is nothing wrong with consensual sex between adults. the idea of excess and concern trolling are implicit religion that have no place in the world, certainly not in anything other than causing more stress and misery, and certainly not in gay media.

Stupid Mangago, deleting my other parts.
After I said: Consensual is one thing:
My concern is towards those that don’t do treatments or get themselves checked, idk what redacted meant but for me, why put yourself and others at risk when having a more than two person intercourse and/or orgy. If that person involved in an orgy is interested in me, and wants to sleep with me, I’d definitely want them checked. Nothing about slut shaming, at least not from me.
It doesn’t exist in BL (a bit satire cause BL is known for lack of sex Ed) therefore I don’t think about the risk of STI spreading. It would be nice if mentioned but I can do without it too. It’s fiction for a reason.

i mean, you clearly get that this stuff is fiction. authors are very rarely going to spend time going over STI prevention & treatment bc there's a high chance it'll come across as grandstsnding or proselytizing. people read these things to have fun, not to learn about how things work.
can fantasy media cause substantial harm? sure. which is why it's important to remind people fiction is fiction and to educate people in a serious environment. like sex ed class. in reality, we can't force people to adhere to not having sex, and we shouldn't try, bc promoting abstinence and not teaching about or giving access to contraceptives and medical aid always leads to significant increases in STIs and unwanted pregnancy. in essence, telling people to just stop having sex doesn't help anyone. unless you think everything on the romance to porn spectrum should have a pamphlet on safe sex practices?
that aside, there are a handful of BLs that address condom use & STI testing. those are the more down-to-earth type. there are many, many more BLs that have a virgin protagonist and their journey to find The One. and there are many that show condom use, even with committed couples.

I think you’re generalizing a bit here. I didn’t say to stop having sex, have more protected sex when you’re in an orgy or even just between two people. But it is more riskier and chances of spreading is higher with multiple partners if not clean.
Anyway, what you said is your own perspective and opinion. I’ll leave that be.

I think the ML has an aloof personality, but I also believe he hides or doesn't mention his pervious relationships because a situation may have happened where they also questioned if he truly liked them. But you can tell something has happened because he sometimes questions how he should have done this less or etc when with the MC. I think he's very much serious about our MC but he's also being cautious with him too. But this isn't really benefiting him because it leads to the MC misreading his caution as lack of interest for him and their relationship.
Yeah.....this punishment thing was dumb. I felt like it was okay up to a point because we got to know about Ash's past. I thought the apology was enough, but than this fool decided to use sex as a weapon which is dumb AF. I seriously hate unnecessary sex and overly pushy characters that have to deal with this subject. These last few chapters could have went so much better if the author actually thought about it.
And also Ash is going to like dumb when Lyle does finally break
Because the thing he is hiding is a proposal, so he just looks pushy and like he needs to know everything in Lyle's life
