But if you have never used a gay forum before are there some rules that you need to know?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is no, there are no rules, it is always good to be polite and considerate so with that in mind here are a few do\u2019s and don\u2019ts that you should keep in mind on an online gay forum.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gayscene.org\/\">Online Gay Sex Forum<\/a> Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Protect Yourself<\/strong> &#8211; Keep your personal details \u2013 address, workplace, etc. \u2013 to yourself. You can never be sure of someone you\u2019ve just met \u2013 even if they do seem like the nicest person on earth. To take it a step further than you can always have a separate PAYG phone for safe communication without revealing your real number. NEVER invite someone you don\u2019t know into your house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Go to Regular Haunts<\/strong> &#8211; You don\u2019t want to do a lot of explaining when you bump into a friend or neighbour or, even worse, your ex. Instead find somewhere where the two of you can relax without fretting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Be Upfront About What You Want<\/strong> &#8211; You\u2019re likely to have chosen this person based on various specifications. If sex is all that you\u2019re after, then say so. There\u2019s nothing worse than forming a casual relationship with someone only to discover that they\u2019re expecting an engagement after the hook-up. Be straightforward and be clear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Suddenly Change Your Preferences<\/strong> &#8211; Your hook-up partner is likely to have chosen you on the basis that you seemed a good match. By removing some of your online likes you are at risk of committing a serious faux pas and wasting each other\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Be Sensitive<\/strong> &#8211; Especially if you realise that you don\u2019t fancy the person. Nobody likes to be told that they\u2019re not wanted after all, and rejection can be done politely. So rather than saying \u201cYou\u2019re not as good-looking as I\u2019d hoped\u201d, instead something kinder like \u201cThere\u2019s no spark\u201d is more than sufficient. Just imagine yourself in their shoes and how you\u2019d like to be let down gently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Delve Too Deep &#8211;<\/strong> Asking deep and meaningful questions about their past is probably not a good idea. This is a straightforward hook-up and asking your partner to divulge memories of their childhood and how it shaped them as a person is a definite no-no.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Respect Everybody &#8211;<\/strong> Always respect your hook-up partner and their wishes. Never insist on a certain type of sex \u2013 regardless of what their online profile states. Instead, simply excuse yourself and say a polite goodbye.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Assume Anything \u2013<\/strong> Not all gay hook-ups are for sex. Some men just want the opportunity for a chat and a coffee with someone a likeminded guy. It\u2019s best to have that conversation upfront in the first instance if you can. And if your gay hook-up partner is non-specific then always lower your expectations if it\u2019s a night of crazy, wild passion that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Leave Someone Hanging<\/strong> &#8211; If you\u2019ve arranged a hook-up but changed your mind, then always call or text to tell your hook-up partner. It takes a matter of seconds to tap out a quick message and stops that person from wasting their time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gay Sex Forums are a great way to meet and find like minded men.
