Re: g_b Re: can't we make this sacrifice, to make our parents happy?

[Sumeet Mehra]

Salil!  Why are you replying instead of Utkarsh. Maybe he has more or something else to say. And again dont talk about boyfriends. Huh....how long does one person stay in one's life? How long is there steady thing in the relation. There is no steady relation between gays. The season may change or not but yes the boyfriends do change. So are you trying to apply some sort of pain relief balm or what?      Salil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  SumeetPeople like Utkarsh and I have the courage to accept ourselves as gay and fight against a society that insists that we should make efforts to act like straight men. The reason Utkarsh doesn't want to marry is not because he cannot make it with females, but because he doesn't WANT to make it females.He does want to marry a man, his present / future boyfriend.
 He will fight for what he wants, rather than fighting to comply with what heterosexual society wants him to do. That is courage.When you use the frog in the well metaphor, you assume that he is hoping to "make it with females" but has not had the guts to try, and he should look around for examples of courage and emulate them. That's not the case. He doesn't want to ! He simply wants to make it with "males", and I suspect he has been having a good time doing so, so no need to worry about him.Regards,SalilSumeet Mehra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:    Hi Utkarsh!     Well said. But hey buddy, can you tell me definition of strength and courage. You dont want to marry because you think you cant make it with females.     In life many people make small and big
 achievements. Can you tell me what are achievements? To achieve something uncommon or unusual. You want to give up because you dont want to fight. Have you heard of a woman who gaveup in the mid way of giving birth to a child because of the labor pain she felt. Certainly not. So thats courage, which you lack. I am forced to use this statement. A woman when she concieves for first time has only heard of pain but never felt it. If even women think like you then you would not be on this earth. There are many other examples like this.   Just look around. But you dont want to fight. You want to talk to your parents, but have you ever spoken with yourself? You have belief on them but you lack same belief in yourself. Its not about making people understand what you are, but making yourself realise what you can be.   Those who dont have courage can never win a war. And life is like a war at ever step. Even Arjun thought he could not
 fight but he did because Krishna was with him. Unless you dont, how will you know that God is with you. We face in life many times such challenges that we never thought of. We dont think that time, what if we loose? We try all our best. Thats what we are suppose to do. I believe in putting my best efforts to make a relation grow and then its growth is my achievement. But a frog of well can never know about ocean. Come out of the well, to know. Life is difficult but not that one cant beat it. You surely lack fighting spirit.      from  Sumeet.     utkarsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  Just want to add something to this discussion -Do not make assumptions on behalf of your parents. The key to anyhealthy relationship is communication and this holds
 true for everykind of relationship. Our parents assume that we will be happy marriedto a nice girl and they act on this assumption. We on the other handassume that if we ever told our parents about our sexual orientation,they will die of grief and their lives will be destroyed. Now if onlywe work up enough ourage and talk to them about our problem and why wecan not marry, things might work out in a different manner.We have to let them know what will make us happy and then leave thedecision of whether marriage to a girl do the same on them. Ourparents have not brought us up so that we keep mum when it's mostimportant to speak up and destroy so many lives. Believe me no matterhow conservative, they will always love you. You have to let them knowabout the true you.Once again, marrying is not a solution, but the beginning of a verybig lifelong problem. No matter what Sumeet and the likes of him say,I'd say stay away
 from marriage. it is not easy; I am stillcontemplating how to come out to my parents; but I am sure about onething, that I will not marry.

 only belies your lack of courage to face the challenges you are up against. and by no means am i saying the challenges you and i have to face as gay men are trivial. but they are our challenges that we have to face...call it karma...call it a blessing...call it a curse. those of us who come out of it with are wits about us will live. the other wimps will be advising hapless youngsters on how to get a hard on with women so that they may fulfill their parents desperate superficial dreams...against their true nature and leading everyone involved into perpetual despair.coolclump <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: hi there, i've always been a silent spectator of this grp. after reading ur reaction for gays marrying straight women, i've a humble comment/doubt to put forth: won't it be selfish of us(gays) if we deny getting married? cuz, the majority of the parents of gays are conservative and it's a matter of pride for them to get their sons/daughters married.and we're here on
 the earth only because of them. it's our parents who've given us an identity. aren't we obliged to go by their words as in case of marriage?can't we make this sacrifice, to make our parents happy? and i'm sure gays will definitely have children after marriage. that'll also make our parents happy grandparents na..?well, this is not my principle or opinion. it's just a small doubt that has kept me in conflict for quite a long time. and i just wanna know how other gays 'll respond to this..i understand ur point also but would u or anyone substantiate ur point of view?how'll u tackle a question as this? would u prefer saying-'yes, i'm selfish' or 'no, i'll better make my conservative parents happy...'cheers.. v--- In gay_bombay@yahoogroups.com, Sonub Jalan <likluv@> wrote:rent you contradicting yourself? "Sex is in the mind" and "still at heart we are gay"...who are you fooling? If you have indeed attained intimacy with your
 wife (proving that it is possible) then why the need to be here?I dont know under what circumstances you have had to marry and I will not like to sit in judgement of your actions. But this is definitely not the advise you can give to people who are under pressure to get married to a woman. What such people (people like me) need to know is that you will then be using a woman's life to experiment. You are living in denial about what you and she needs and someday you will not be able to live the pretence any longer.For those of you who are married...you can spend the rest of your life "adjusting" and "rubbing your wife's cheeks" or acknowledge the clossal mistake you have made and go your separate ways. Acknowledge that you are "not a perfect husband like heteros" and a hetro is what any straight woman deserves, while you are respnsible for denying her that.And then maybe some of you married guys have been lucky in that your wife has waited long enough for you
 to "get physical as if it means nothing to you as would between two friends". I know of women who kicked the living daylights out of their husbands for not being good enough. Lots of rounds to hospitals to cure their impotency. So dont you dare make your plight a general rule.Get real guys. While the honourable GB list jury is still out on whether true love is possible in the gay world, I believe it is better to be alone than to live a lie.I have fought really hard not to marry, being the only son in a very conservative family. It has affected my parents health and been the cause of a lot of tension in my family. But I would rather live with this than a wife with whom I need to develop intimacy and "Achieving sex with one women" against my instincts.abbey fifty <abbeyphilip@> wrote: Guys, I'd like to make two points:1. I share Sumeet Mehra's experiences and having done the deed, ( marrying )the best option is to try hard to adjust. And the best
 policy is NOT to try getting hard - just befriend your wife, get intimate in all other ways, and then very slowly, get physical as if it means nothing to you as would between two friends -like putting hand over shoulder, a kiss on the cheek and just holding hands. The important thing is to get so used to these things that you are not conscious. After a few months, you will be mentally relaxed enough for stirrings of physical feelings to emerge. Remember sex is in the mind. So relax and let time go. I went through this phase and though not a perfect husband like heteros, we do get along.2. We are on the list because, still, at heart we are gay in that we are attracted physically by men. Achieving sex with one women means nothing much except that u get to know her so well, that one learns to get along, if you know what I mean. It happens. But the feelings stop with that one women. Emotionally, we are very much on g-side. I am sure other married men will understand this. But I
 know others will not, and I have no wish to cross swords with them.My purpose of writing this is to give emotional support to "arsg" , Summet and others like them ( and me)because I am sure there will be acidic comments to the contrary.

See its difficult but not impossible. You can lead a very good sex life with your wife. I am sure you have some thoughts that is not letting you have feelings for your wife. But as you have told you can not disclose your sex identity to you family and please never do that. You may land up in very complicated state of life.See nothing in this
 world is impossible. You need to remove all passimist feelings from your mind. You can surely have sex with your wife. Treat her as your soul mate not wife. Understand her. She is the one who has hold your hand and entered in your family. So she deserves your unconditional love. Love her. She is the one who has taken your parents as her own. Respect her. Try giving her love. See till you do not try nothing will happen. Don't forget that if one desires one can do any thing and make impossible also possible.Make Love. You need not do sex, till you are not prepared. But you can surely make her feel loved. Slowly and gradually as you proceed start getting involved in her. More you get involved more you will make her satisfy. Just forget the world. Even Foget yourself, your individuality. Get lost in her. Then you will see how things change. Do not resist any feelings. Let it come let it pass by. Do not be concerned even if you do not get hard. Just go on and on. Do not think of
 jumping for intercourse. Make her feel that she is the most loved person in your life. You will then realise and will then understand what I have said is truth- Nothing is impossible. You will get hard...harder...hardest and she will then be the most happiest woman marrying to you.Believe me, let any one say any thing. Let the whole world say that gay can not have sex with females. But I am sharing with you my very personal experience. I know reading this some guys may object and will say that I am Bi. But guys I was not Bi before having sex with my wife.So if you try the same way as I did. You will surely succeed. Even Impossible says that I am Possible. So get set go.
