do u actually know that there's ppl like this in real life? do u know how much they suffer? did u see that line…
YAAAAASS! I was a shy gay boy in high school. I manage to have a few encounters (with guys not in my school), but trying to fit in was so difficult. I'm totally fine with the Eiw character. I also had major crushes on some of my best friends. I could have never let them know. It was tough.
Friends, I've been reading a lot of comments attacking gay men for wishing that BLs were written by men (and not women), making them more realistic. (And please forgive me for going off topic here.)
As a gay guy who has had his fair share of anal sex (as both top and bottom), I feel compelled to share the following:
Ladies, one thing you must remember is that (unlike women) guys have a prostate, which is probably the equivalent to your G-spot. So anal sex provides a different experience for us than it does for you.
Almost 100% of the time, both guys want to have a pleasurable sexual experience. If there is pain in the middle of the act, the bottom makes his needs known and the top backs off. The two make it work.
So, can ass pain happen for a bottom? Yes, on a rare occasion. But in most cases, it doesn't (we tend to have a lot of lube at our disposal). Unless the poor bottom is sadistically raped. (Which would be equally traumatic for a woman, I would think.)
PLEASE, let's get this ridiculous trope out of BL content.
Did you know that MAME published a BL novel where some guy was topping another, to the point where he made the bottom start bleeding, and then the sadistic top decided to use the blood as "lube" to keep banging the guy relentlessly? It's true. And gross. And unrealistic. A despicable version of a perverted woman's fantasies. Which is why I refuse to watch any BL based on her disgusting novels. (And, of course, I know that most women are not like this!)
So yes, it's time to get some realism into BLs. Men don't walk around with sore assholes the day after anal sex. Period. I hope my post helps to shed some light on real-life gay sexual encounters.
Tharntype came out years ago, the quality of bl's back then were not that good and we didn't get bl's that often…
Just read your posts and, as a gay guy myself, I just want to say BRAVO!
After watching close to 200 BLs over the last 4+ years, I've noticed that most of the ridiculousness (guys walking with a limp the day after anal sex, etc.) come from women writers of THAI BLs. The Filipino BLs are mostly written by men and are more realistic.
I still watch some Thai BLs, because they are the biggest producers of the genre, but I refuse to watch anything based on a story from MAME ever again. No way.
While I enjoyed this first part, it felt like it was time to be over. Seng really stood out here; the story was dark, but a bit melodramatic at times.
For me, the ending was fine (although I think Pan should have kept and cashed the check). Pan and Nott reconciled enough to satisfy the fujoshi crowd, although I seriously didn't see them as some kind of "lived-happily-ever-as-they-ride-off-into-the-sunset" couple. Seemed more like a typical "let's date and enjoy sex with each other for however long it lasts" relationship.
I give them about 7 months before they both start screaming for a divorce.
I'm right there with you. I like this series. As I stated before, it has that "soap opera" gibe to it.
It does! And I'm even okay with the whole "apples" thing, as long as I consider Sun to be a Christian Scientist whose family believes in holistic healing, lol.
Count me in as the odd duck who is enjoying this series!
But Khim and Rain's father may go down as "Crappiest Dad in BL." Perhaps I've seen worse, but I'm not thinking of anybody. It's hard to imagine this guy having any kind of change of heart unless he has a complete lobotomy.
Agreed with just about everything you said. (Especially the instrument and ensemble comments!) The only thing…
If you want to see Fluke in a very different role, I recommend the BL thriller "Red Wine in the Dark Night" (2015). He is the main character and plays a psycho: https://youtu.be/lpDSvNS9vqw The first scene is practically soft porn.
Agreed with just about everything you said. (Especially the instrument and ensemble comments!) The only thing…
Oh, I'm with you when it comes to Ohm. While I enjoyed him well enough in UWMA, he's a board here.
As for this series, despite its flaws, I'm struck by how much Fluke emerges as a "real" actor, compared to all the others. That's part of what keeps me engaged. There's a lot to pick at regarding the story lines. But, strangely enough, I'm not all that bothered by the Sun "apple" thing. I just consider his character to be a Christian Scientist (they tend to shun any kind of medical treatment in favor of natural remedies). So I'm willing to accept that maybe the apples do help him on some level, lol.
If I ever wonder why Thailand wont always cater to their international fans for certain shows and bl series, all…
I look at it this way: MDL provides discussion boards, not fan pages. I've made comments on certain pages here where I felt like I was just about the only one who really liked a series, while just about everyone else trashed it. And vice versa.
But, to me, if it's okay to complain about people not liking a show, then it makes equal sense for someone to complain about the opinions of people who love a show. And, frankly, I've never seen that happen here.
Being a professional actor or director invites critique -- both good and bad -- it's simply a part of the business.
I'm a little at a loss. I'm trying to understand why Rain & Phayoo are so much more engaging than Sun & Kim -…
Agreed with just about everything you said. (Especially the instrument and ensemble comments!)
The only thing we'll have to agree to disagree about: Rain (Noh) does absolutely nothing for me. I find the actor rather wooden and "nothing special" in terms of physical appearance and, for me, the Rain character is really boring. I get zero chemistry from him.
I do realize that I'm in the minority here.
Payoo, on the other hand, makes me think very naughty thoughts, complete with an afterglow cigarette.
I'm liking this a lot, but I'm not really getting the Rain/Payoo stans. I think Payoo is quite sexy, but Rain seems rather boring, at least to me. But I find Pie very interesting!

I'm not setting foot anywhere near this one.
