New Yorkers Are Hell Bent On Hooking Up Tonight, Blizzard Be Damned

What is it about extreme weather that gets people in the mood for lovin’? If it’s too hot you need someone to cool down with (presumably naked), and when it’s too cold you need someone to stoke your fire.

Well as New Yorkers are currently hunkering down for what the National Weather Service says might be an “historic blizzard,” you can be sure all those huddled masses will be checking their Grindrs. And Scruffs. And Craigslists.

In fact, here’s some of what you’ll find on Craigslist’s men seeking men section if you search for “blizzard.”

Stay safe and play safe, everyone.

B type of night: Bi Bro Boned Blizzard Buds – (Murray Hill)

any one else horny and waiting out the storm alone?
more fun to kick back with a bud (or 2 or 3), strip down, compare cocks, and stroke and suck together
ages 20 – 40
hung always a plus

Major points for alliteration.

Any discreet guys to hang, cuddle during the blizzard? – 28 (Chelsea)

Anyone else out there into a normal chill attractive guy to hang with, cuddle, sleepovers, that sort of thing? Looking for a warm body during this blizzard. If we click can be a regular thing, get more sexual but not into just dropping trow and fucking a stranger. Am I the only on in this entire city?

Some guys are just practical. Body heat is a hot commodity.

Giving blizzard bjs, come get one (Prospect Park S/Park Circle)

Normal but horny single guy, 35, ht/wt prop with amazing cocksucking skills looking to blow you if you’re passing by in this blizzard. Send a pic and stats in first email or be ignored. Seriously only. Giving great head till they close the roads at 11. Come get yours. D/d free here.

Altruism at its finest.

Be my blizzard slave – 36 (Upper West Side)

Worried about being snowed in for a day with nothing to do? Come serve an alpha while this storm blows over.
This would be an overnighter, obviously. Arrive by 11pm. I expect you to stay in bondage for part of the time, suck, get fucked hard in all your holes, take some light cbt, get spooned when we fall asleep…and anything else we can think of. Limits respected. You will be kept warm and fed, but otherwise abused just how you like it. We will NOT pnp, but poppers or 420 ok.

Not exactly our idea of a fun snow day, but who are we to judge?

Hosting blizzard bottom – 24 (pelham parkway morris park co-op city)

fight the snow and get warm in my hole

It’s right to the point — we’ll give it that much.

Blizzard boyfriend? – 28

Anyone want to get snowed in together? Cuddle & watch movies, enjoy each other’s company, hang out, eat & drink?

I can host.

Your pics will get mine. Please be respectful. And sane.

See there really are good ones out there! Unless he just wants us to think that…

Gay, Closeted, and Heartbroken in Morocco (VIDEO)

I’m From Driftwood is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit archive for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer stories. New stories are posted on the site every Wednesday.

While abroad in Morocco, one of 77 countries in which it is illegal to be gay, Anthony Mercurio was dumped by his first love. “I was pretty devastated,” Anthony recalls:

[F]or a week, basically, I was, like, in tears or crying or upset, and my host family had no idea what was going on, so they were so confused as to what was happening. They were like, “Is he homesick?” Like, they kept asking me questions, and I was like … “Everything’s fine. I’m just sad.” And you can only say that so much.

Unable to express the real reason for his heartbreak, at least Anthony had his host grandmother there to comfort him:

She didn’t actually even speak Arabic; she spoke Berber. So we literally could not communicate ever. There was no point in which we could, like, communicate verbally with each other. … So we couldn’t talk, but she would just … bring me a plate of food and, like, pat me on the back and, like, rub my back and then walk away. And then she would come back like 20 minutes later and take whatever — I probably hadn’t eaten that much — but she would, like, bring another plate of food, and then she would bring me tea or something, because that was her way of making me feel better, and that was glorious.

And as Anthony realized, his grief and distraction about his boyfriend were only ruining his experience:

I kind of buckled up and decided that I’m in Morocco for another three months, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So I decided to kind of jump off and just be fully present in everywhere I was.
