Your courage in sharing such an intimate and emotionally painful milestone from your past as a cautionary tale for some and an assurance to others that they are not alone in their experience has done more good than you will ever know. Those big brown eyes do not lie when they say, "The sweetest soul lives in here." After a week if freezing Texas darkness, you brought us all a warm heart and the light of a truly kind spirit. Hope you and your man recover fully. You two have been sorely missed.

I was raised Southern Baptist & I felt guilty as well. However, I noticed that when i fooled around with a guy that I had feelings for there was no guilt. I was raised to believe sex outside of marriage was wrong period. I guess that bothered most. I was able to reconcile my religious beliefs with being gay. I'm now a Presbyterian, proud to be gay and wouldn't change it if i could. I still regret the pointless "hookups." I'm just glad there were only a few. I'm a commitment type of guy. This is an excellent video. I have many straight friends and was surpised to learn how often they had sex in rooms filled with people when they were young.

I’m kind of non denominational now but I’m still absolutely a Christian! I believe He made me exactly how he wanted

I have to praise you for this message, because it’s so important! I too had some very awful things happen to me growing up, and I wish not only were the internet around then, but that there was a platform like KZbin around then. Because of those things that happened to me, I feel uncomfortable with sex. I’ve gotten better over the years but that feeling is still there. Giving consent and accepting consent is the most important thing, because if someone is ok to begin with and then they change their mind it’s important to accept that and not force something to happen when the other person doesn’t want it. It’s also important to know that if someone says no they mean exactly that, no. It’s not up for debate, no means no! I think you’ve come a long way Zach since those things because I can see it. It takes time, strength, courage, and nerve to persevere! Thank you again for sharing this!

The guy that didnt stop had me shackled and cuffed to the top n bottom of the bed frame. I still have scars from that on my body. He was big and no lube no condom and he hurt me bad. I later found out he had HIV too. When I found out I did also and it came from him, I tried hiring a lawyer but I couldn't find anyone to take my case. Yes consent is everything!

I hope that you were able to get counseling because i didn’t until it was almost too late, i attempted suicide many times as well as using illegal drugs that i had overdosed on numerous times, let’s just that for the amount of years i was using, the countless overdoses im thankful and blessed to be alive! As I was growing up I was psychologically, physically and sexually abused by a family member from the age of 8 and continued for 7 years. This person was also a deputy sheriff so I felt I had no one to report it to that would believe me over them. They also at times would force me at gun point! No one helped me at all even when the truth was out in the open. I had an eerily similar situation happen to me that you did. This was my 3rd male sexual partner were not really dating per se more like FWB type of situation. He too had HIV and didn’t tell me, he always up until that final time was gentle and would wear a condom but for some reason took it off mid way and he was already inside me before I realized it was off! He was also not gentle that time and he hurt me really bad and wouldn’t stop when I told him too. Basically because of my history I froze and became numb it was more or less like I was having an out-of-body experience. I didn’t find out until 10years later that I was HIV positive, I knew it was him because I hadn’t had any sexual partners since him. Honey when I say I was f’g pissed...!! Long story short, I tried to call him, he must’ve changed his number or something, I too tried to file a complaint but no one would do anything becase the statute of limitations had expired. Something needs to change in our legal system so that the statute of limitations for sexual assault cases does not expire!

@@AdventuresofZachandB Zach, as an older gay man I knew exactly what you meant and applaud you for believing in yourself & being honest about it, it's sad that we as humans can't be accepted for the people we are due to many many stances, I know this is an older video but I hope things are going great for you guys, much love to you both from Arkansas!

Wow. What a brave video to share. Communication is key and developing positive body imaging that allows you the confidence to say no to an uncomfortable situation.

I am not sure what brought me here - but THANK YOU for your story. My husband has a hard background regarding his sexual experiences at a very young age. We have had to build a bond and trust that he is in a safe space, and no one is going to harm him. It changes from time to time, he can feel more confident and assure of himself, and other times totally uninterested. Patience is the key in any relationship.

After being with my husband for 10 years and being a wild child from 16-30 I agree the BEST is with someone you know, trust, and love.

I hear ya buddy. I have OCD myself . Have to count to 10 , three times myself . Lol . Having Allister be patience with you in getting thru the uncomfortable times is one of the advantages of you guys being married . Great, honest video.
