Yeah, I am starting to back off quite a bit.

You have a personal responsibility to define your relationships. It's not good to let someone else do it. Are you really comfortable being his *** hag? From what you have written, I don't get the sense that you are.

It's horrifying that he has had sex with 600 men. He must be carrying every STD known to medicine.

It seems like he wants you to text him a lot more. Some people like to hear from others in frequent texts or at least MORE texts - and some people like emails and frequent emails.
Not just every two weeks or every other week.

Well I can't be a *** hag, because I am gay guy myself.

But yeah, because of his looks, when a friend of mine meets him for the first time they always ask me if I am dating him or if I am interested in him because he is so beautiful. The funny thing is as beautiful as his face and body are, the simple fact that he has slept with so many guys, alone, makes me 0% attracted to him. We have been drunk around each other where one of us had to sleep over the other's house, and I have never had any desire to do anything with him in those moments. I don't think I could even get hard for him TBH.

He also revealed to me that he has never used a condom, which made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. He wields his capability of having sex with whomever he wants as a true power.

Well then I guess that's his problem. I am not his boyfriend or father so I am going to text him as necessary.

One his other best friends stopped being friends with him because of this, and one of his other best friends they had a falling out and didn't speak for a couple of months and just rekindled their friendship a month ago.

When he lost his job, it seems like it pushed him to become more about "me, me, me". The thing is when we hang out 90% of the time he's fun to be around. But that 10% of the time he can be quite unbearable.
Why do you think all these details are important to us?

The issue is you, not him. Remember?

I'd just ignore it and not reply with another "I miss you too!"

I don't think he's being narcissistic or needy when he says that. I think he's just fallen into a habit of saying "I miss you" as a salutation not only to you but to everybody that he texts , it's just become his way of ending his texts to the people he cares about.

He may not realize that it might seem inappropriate to some people or that some people (like you) might take it the wrong way and think he's being needy. Just ignore it and don't respond in kind. It's not a big deal to be making any kind of issue out of it unless he is in love with you. Otherwise, don't make a mountain out of a mole hill about it.

That is such a decent way to conduct oneself. I like your post

Giving people some context to his behavior and the way he is. People are asking questions, so I am giving them the context in my answers.

Because OP was accused of being attracted to him, and is explaining that he's not?
