Silent Love
She sits there, in front of the TV, staring at a black screen. The house is empty. It is silent. She hears the echoes of laughter. The memory is still there. Her seat on the couch remains the same. She does not move over to the more comfortable side. That was where her lover used […]
Our Evolution
March 20, 2013
“Let’s plot sexy revolution, plan perverse adventures and talk about pornographic ideas.” Acid. It was the meeting place of every single outcast in Beirut. Men, women, and everything in between could go there, for one night, and have the time of their lives. Or they could end up in jail. And even when they did, […]
Me. All of me.
February 27, 2013
If I was standing naked in front of you, here’s what you would see: 7 scars on my chest, ranging from a centimeter long, to 9 centimeters long. These are the result of a series of surgeries I underwent between the ages of 16 and 18 as a result of my lungs collapsing. Towards the […]
How Things End
February 19, 2013
“I wish I could love you.” *** We’re in bed, in post-coital bliss. He looks at me, knowing that I know the truth. 2 months into the relationship, he slipped in a comment. He tries to stop any conversation from happening. But I need to know. “How old are you?” “Why does it matter?” “You […]
Casual Acts of Depth
February 13, 2013
There are hallways, labyrinths, dark alleys. There are young men, old men, sexy men, skinny men, fat men. There are gay men, bisexual men, and certainly a few questioning, terrified men. There are men on all fours, men with their legs up in the air, men jerking off, men sucking off other men. There are […]
365: A Look Back
January 16, 2013
1 year. That’s how old this blog is. Exactly one year ago, I decided to launch OhMyHappiness in hopes of showing people in Lebanon and around the world the other side of being gay in Lebanon. This is the third blog that I start. I gave up on the other 2 after a couple of […]
Post-Coital Conversations
January 8, 2013
When you sleep with me, you don’t just get a regular fuck. I toss in a mind fuck for free. Me: You OK? Him: I’m fine. M: No you’re not. Why the sudden change of mood? H: I feel slutty. M: Why do you feel slutty? H: When you couldn’t find the condoms, I thought […]
2013
December 31, 2012
More picnics, hikes, and olive picking. More home baked brownies, croissants, and pecan pies. Less worrying about my weight. A tiny bit less Twitter, a lot less Facebook, a tiny bit more blogging and a lot more writing. More books about secrets, elephants, India, illegal things, and forbidden loves. Less activism. More time with my […]

OK, so I sat down and wrote down a list of all the guys I’ve slept with. I actually took a paper and pen and tried to think back on every cock, ass, or lips that I’ve ever come into contact with. I defined “guys I’ve slept with” as anything more than heavy petting. It’s […]
Raja Goes to the Doctor
November 27, 2012
I hate going to a new doctor/a doctor I haven’t come out to, especially when it has to do with my penis. I’ve been feeling pain when urinating recently, so I went to see this urologist. In an ideal world, this is how I would’ve liked that visit to go: - So Raja, tell me, […]
