Gay Termonology.***
It has come to my attention, through a few notes, that a lot of the time you ‘striaghties’ don’t understand a lot of the terms I use. Now I know this isn’t the be-all and end-all of gay terminology, and indeed, much of it can cross over to the heterosexual world too. So I’ve weeded out and compiled a relatively comprehensive list of ‘Gay Lingo’.
If you want to add anything leave a note.

Oh goody! Now when I want to mention a gay or sex thing but can’t be bothered explaining what it is on the off chance someone has no idea what I’m talking about (I am so anal about making every single entry user friendly so that if someone reads my diary for the first time they generally get what’s what) I can just link to this page. Lol.

Bug chasers. Do they actually exist?! I mean, do you know of any? IT JUST SEEMS CRAZY. I mean, I understand the appeal of not … No wait no I totally don’t understand the appeal. It’s like they’ve … Ah I can’t contain this rant in 400 characters and ive been tempted to write about it before but I’m just so baffled itd just say “WHAT?????” and nothing else. O_o

And! Docking. God! HILARIOUS.

Ryn:Not attractive, no.I have this mental image of a picture I saw and the guy had his foreskin completely covering the other guy’s dick. It cracks me up every time lol. It just looked like one penis, like siamese twins joined at the dick. Ok I see maybe some relief but that’s ridiculous really. What about when he starts getting really sick? When his body starts deteriorating and his friends and family have to watch him waste away? Dumb d

Warning Comment
I was gonna suggest sugar daddy. Umm how about hustler? Lol I’ve had fun going through the terms and trying to figure out which ones Luke fits into. When Luke bottoms he’s a power bottom for suuuuure. Haven’t heard of that term though! And I don’t like this “active” term you’ve got there it makes it sound like the receiver just does nothing! Mind you I was so “active” when “receiving” Luke this morning I almost fell off the couch 🙁
Warning Comment
Wait! Power top and bottom, is that top bottom as in the gay top and bottom or as in the bdsm kind of top and bottom? Ahhh cross over terms. Sissy, in bdsm terms, can also refer to a submissive man (most often straight but not necessarily) who has a fetish for being “feminised” by their dominant partner, as a way of humiliating, objectifying them or just as role play. Also referred to as “sissy boy”.

Pretty amazing that the same words are used in the US too. I could add a few for lesbians but you’d be surprised at how many of these terms are used by women too. My wife and I are a NSA gone wrong — meaning we have every string in the book now but when we got together it was just supposed to be for the sex, ha!
