| Vinny, QbZhFkuYOmfU | | ZasYzBBDyRosXWfYVr - (4/5) | a lot of gay men feel pressurised into being staghrit when they are young. He probably just didn't like the idea of not being what was regarded as normal, and so tried to conform. I know a gay guy who was like that when he was young. his last girlfriend just told him not to bother lol |
