Waiting for your next Google Meet session!And you should have also told GMMTV that Bad Buddy is #1 most commented…
I was sort of waiting for you cos I needed a discussion co-moderator. LOL But I totally understand. :-) And @deetsy was so kind enough to close the discussion last night with her personal takeaway.
Will def make something. Just need to get stuff sorted at work first then squeeze some time to generate another RSVP form to check on people's availability.
Just a bit of talking points on yesterdays Bad Buddy Post Episode Conversations via Google Meet
RE: PatPran's roles in their intimate moments
It was assumed and affirmed by most people that Pat had been the top from when they started going at it, and it was in 11 that they swapped roles.
Not sure about 12 though but it appears, they were okay flip-flopping once in a while.
What we discussed yesterday was the general obsession of most viewers in Pat and Pran's sexual roles. That one has to be top from the beginning to the end, and they bubbles sort of have been burst when swapping roles took place.
As 42-year-old, fairly experienced gay man, I have observed that the fixation on top-bottom roles is deeply-rooted on the binary - heteronormative couples as cups and swords. One stabs, the other gets it - quite archaic in my opinion.
The obsession on who's top and bottom in the relationship are also brought about by a couple of other factors (but not limited to, as there are other reasons):
1. Toxic masculinity/Internalised homophobia - those who have this behaviour feels emasculated if at some point they agree to be the receiver in sex. Their ego is bruised because they felt they were dominated. And some, at the back of their mind feel paranoid that their very own partners have an advantage over them now.
2. Pain threshold - some men, even if they wanted to be the receiver, feel that they won't be able to bear the pain. (Sorry, TMI) So they decide not to bottom for anyone.
As mentioned they're not limited to those. We may have to get the perpective of "pure tops" to understand them more.
But what does the above had to do with Pat&Pran? Well, there have been conversations in Social Media about them. Even here. Some fans have already designated one to be the top and they couldn't accept it.
There were even remarks about Pran is a softboi so he's the bottom all the way. I call it bullsh*t.
Also, sexual roles are no longer limited to tops and bottoms. We have sides who prefer not to engage in penetrative sex.
Whilst sex is an important part of a growing relationship, sexual compatibility, like most things can be discussed. And when two people love each other that much, would it really matter who holds the sword and who holds the cup?
Let's not be fixated over sexual roles. Information on sexual positivity is available on the internet. We can always educate ourselves and later on relate it to whatever show we are watching.
If you want discussions like this, and you want to share your thoughts about Bad Buddy in general, I'm happy to host another Google Meet session for us.

I will setup something for next weekend. I think I mentioned that people in MDL has been raving about Bad Buddy more than any other series. Tough luck we didn't have the chance to get just a short hello clip from any of them.
But that's alright. I am more than happy enough to have made such connection with you all.
And apart from commenting on this page, I hope we can get together in Google Meet sessions every now and then - recalling Bad Buddy tidbits and talking about BLs in general.
I was coming out of a bad place mentally when this show started and this show made me feel things, made me look…
Sorry to learn about what you've gone through. I am glad that things started to become better for you. You'll find that there are a number of us here who, just like you, have been brave enough to open up about our mental health condition and how the show has somewhat become our refuge --- and the comments board in general is a safe space for everyone. There are a few rotten apples here and there, but we're here with you.
Heya! We missed you earlier in the Google Meet sessions. But some of us would like to have maybe some more, so I'll try and organise soon. Hope you could join us. :-)
This was talked about in the 3rd session, too. 33 kisses.
We were happy to have you there. If needed, we can do more of these Google Meet conversations. It's always great to listen to and understand people's perspectives of this series, and BL in general.
And that's the third of our Bad Buddy Post Episode Conversations.
It has been a delight talking to all of you starting last night.
I am delighted to have hosted these sessions.
Let me know if you want more. We can probably do this on weekends.
For those who were unable to join, that's alright. I can organise more if needed, just drop a note in my inbox.
Apologies for not having a recording of the conversation. We would rather not compromise people's privacy.
Whilst we all feel sad that Bad Buddy has ended, we can all still come back here, because we built something here. And the show's always available to re-watch.

Happy to setup another session for people who want to still discuss BB. :-)
I would love to have a co-host though. It's exhausting to go round-the-room for opinion and managing the text chat too. LOL
Not complaining. Loved every bit of it. It's worth doing it.
