Anonymity, Lips and Dicks

I live in a country where homosexuality is still not accepted. And frankly I dont think it will ever be accepted in Muslim countries. Which means that gay people over here will always be hidden behind fake pics and names in fear of being exposed. This is how I also entered the gay world on the internet. I had a fake pics and my name was infact "Anonymous". Been living that life for more than a year.

Lately however I have been getting really tired of all this hiding. I see many people on Facebook, Orkut and Manjam who use their own pics as profile pics and I wonder whether they are openly gay or fearless? Coz Oman is a really small place. You are bound to run into someone who knows you or someone else that you know. And still there are people who are not afraid of it. After seeing many such people, I have been getting this urge to use my own pic as well. But I chickened out at the last minute mostly coz of my brother. He is more social than any person I know. Which means he knows alot of people. Every now and then I bump into a cute guy and he turns out to be my brother's friend. So to avoid future complications, I didnt use my face pic. However,me being me, I still wanted to get what I want. I thought about using a body pic like MANY people do. But rejected it the next second. I have waaaaaay more self respect than that. So I cropped one of my pics and focused it entirely on my lips. Now my display pic shows my lips. And every time I see it I cringe coz I sorta feel ashamed for pimping out my lips :P But I HAVE to use some part of me!

It has been around a week or so I guess since my new pic. And since then I have been contacted by people, some of whom were interesting and the others were part of the reason for this post. For me, my new pic represents a part of me. Not sexually. Just a part of me. But for some people, I think it reminds them of blowjobs coz they keep sending me pics of their dicks!! Yes you read it correct! And I actually find it quite wierd coz in the pic my lips arent parted seductively or I dont have my tongue out indicating sexual pleasures! It has been twice now that I start a decent conversation with a guy in a totally friendly way and they email me pics of their penises!! What is up with that?! Before contacting or adding someone, is it no longer a habit of reading their profiles? I read the whole profile before I make a move. But it seems that some people dont. Coz my profile makes it clear that I am not looking for sex. Then why show me your dicks and ask for my body pics?

It is my request to all such people out there that please understand what the other person wants before showing your personal stuff and making inappropriate suggestions. Moreover, if I get to see your dick or ass in just the first few conversations, what interest will there be left in you? No mystery, no discovering of anything. Also, just a reminder in case you havent noticed, your penis belongs in your pants.

On a lighter note, a very happy new year to all of you. May the next year be even more better than 2010 in all respects!
