For me this has to be one of my biggest problems, occupying most of my thought processes. I am married, an older man with grandchildren. Before getting into the mindset, let me describe what happened. I went to Starbucks and cruised this not particularly good looking man, but he appealed to me. I smiled at him, as he was passing through, and he smiled back. Then I saw him look back, as I did, which kind of indicated some social clue. Then we sat down . I kept trying to see if he ever looked up at me, and it didn't seem as if he did. After a long time, he appeared to go out, and I thought that he went home. After a long time he reappeared, and left through the front. II got up and discovered that where he went the first time was really a way to the men's room, and not an exit. He was in there for a really long time, maybe even a good 20 minutes, and in retrospect thought, that perhaps he was waiting for me doors ajar, waiting for bj. I felt tremendous regret about not being more perceptive, for a lost opportunity.
However my defensive rationalization went , like this: It's better this way, because of my proclivity to go obsessive about unprotected sex leading to possible HIV infection, even with very low chance of acquiring disease. But its he trigger to an obsessional need for repeated tests.
Also, apart from a purely pleasurable point of view, doing men appears to be simply a be a psychologically addictive pleasure, for reasons unknown. However, the feeling is overwhelming, and the desire for mastery over myself is very pressing , do basically from a need to practice an occult belief.
As a matter of fact, my wrong interpretation of the social clues, may have ,unknown to me, deliberately misrepresented, so as to follow a deeper, more substantial need.
But it is as if I am torn by various psychic forces.
Can anyone have any inkling of what is going on ?
