What Are Your Escapist Behaviors?

Hang out on Datalounge

Watching entire seasons of Top Chef

Read

Jack-off or run around naked with a boner n my back yard

Hardcore double anal porn with piss finish.

I watch The Office and Schitt’s Creek.

Datalounge, YouTube, weed, food.

picking things up from the floors

solving puzzles on Jigidi

flipping through Marlene Dietrich's _ABC_ book

finding 1970s-80s teen and YA novels on archive dot org to bookmark and read "someday"

Seconding R1 and R3, plus download films/tv shows I missed the first time around or that I want to revisit.

Datalounge owns this thread.

Read online and watch something I've recorded on TV.

I mainly read DL, DU, and the DM! Plus Bored Panda.

I mainly watch Midsomer Murders, Father Brown, and whatever actor I'm currently stuck on. Like these days it's Patrick McGoohan, because "Danger Man" is shown every day 3:00--4:00 a.m., Z Living Channel.

This cesspool of nasty cunts is my escape. I’m supposed to be studying right now, but here I am.

Gardening, decorating, cleaning, thrift stores and Datalounge

earrings

caftans!

Macrame, shrinky dinks, spiro-graph, sea monkeys

Daydreaming

Hop into my car and drive away, somewhere far away.

Cannabis.......need I say more.

Alpha feet

Cheetos and candy.

Put on headphones and listen to music.

Baking brownies.............

I swear I posted this yesterday, but it's not here: When I'm stressed, I zone out and pull out my hair. (I have trichotillomania.)

Sleep, of course

R9 I’ve never met anyone who knows Red Dwarf. Excellent.

Drink coffee (decaf mostly), smoke (I know...bad), drink tea, read, look up things on the net, stay in bed and post on DL. Then order food and booze delivery and drink in the kitchen while my roommate cooks and I zone out. Once every 2 weeks I do this. I feel so much more relaxed the next day.

Saying my thoughts out loud in a Mae West accent

Datalounge, Tennis, and IG meme pages.

I love r28. I tried it and you know what? It was escapist and fun as hell! Yay!

I create characters and speak aloud their narratives, usually in some accent not my own. I crack myself up! (I pretty much confine this activity to my car.)

Otherwise, I have lately taken to thinking up captions for the weekly "New Yorker" Cartoon Caption contest.

Cats

Watching gun videos on YouTube. I've shot at a shooting range a couple of times. I

Now I want a Glock 19.

Dessert

porn or twitter. usually porn on twitter

Gardening and house tours on youtube, other youtube videos...watching TV and online with DL...basically surfing online, googling any questions I may have.

Sleep is a good escape.

I run and fuck my partner.

R38

R38...At the same time?

Edible weed followed by a long walk to people watch and my earbuds with great music.

Going through a cycle of clicking on the same websites repeatedly

Listening to music on YouTube. You can find anything you want there.

Cat videos and pretty much any animal videos.

Finnegan Fox and his giggling.

Going to the Holey Wood Muzuem and hanginng with otter big cellinerties!!!

YouTube, gardening, Datalounge, exercise.

Walking

Exercising

Eating

Driving

Streaming hours of 227 on Amazon Prime. Singing “There’s No Place Like Home” the shows theme song while exchanging the original lyrics for my own perverted lyrics like - “There’s no place like home. With your dad on top of you you’re never alone. With his bone inside your ass there’s no need to roam. There’s no place like home.”

Hmmm....no surprise, but no mention yet of watching sports on tv, listening to a baseball game on radio, reading sports stories on ESPN, etc.

Yet it seems we sometimes hear that gay males actually do follow sports or even play them.

No. So. Sure. About. That.

Shitting

Watching old soap operas on YouTube. Total escapism. Thank god for YouTube!

R48 huh?

I go to my boat, open a nice bottle of wine, cook dinner, and either read a book or stream a movie. Always some cannabis or hash, also.

I take the phone off the hook.

[quote]Cats

The musical or the animals?

Datalounge #1.

Gambling was a big one, but I was finally able to quit that last year when the casinos had to close due to COVID. It nearly destroyed me financially, emotionally, and mentally.

Drinking my neighbor’s piss.

Reddit, Twitter, DL, Daily Mail, repeat.

Weed, gardening, watching old movies.

[quote]Yet it seems we sometimes hear that gay males actually do follow sports or even play them.

We will when figure skating season starts.

Watching cute animal videos on YouTube. This thread has some good ones!

Making delicious desserts. Cooking a nice meal. Making chicken stock and creating a delicious soup with it. Trying my luck at making dishes I’ve never made before, like gumbo.

Do you realize this is the closest most of you came to mentioning exercising?

No wonder you are fat whores.

Sleeping is not an escape for me. I wake up remembering everything I"m supposed to do.

R62 spends too much time alone

Read.

Listening to The Teacher's Lounge podcast and playing Gardenscapes. Also, OnlyFans.
