In my mind, anyone with the courage to call themselves a bottom should be ready to get fucking pounded. Sure, some might call me a power bottom, but that term is just a way to market yourself to tops. Here’s what they had to say about their lives on the bottom… And so, I spent the last couple of days asking a few of them.
These are considered “power bottoms,” or ones who forcefully assume the receptive role.īut I’ve always been curious, how do bottoms manage the responsibilities - from staying hydrated to regulating fiber consumption to self-administering shower nozzle enemas, etc. - of receptive anal sex. As Dan Savage explains, “Some gay and bi men view bottoming as something they are, not just something they do.” Case in point: Studies have been devoted to identifying as a bottom, revealing that it often signifies power, not weakness. (And “verabottoms”: A tally of 60,000 profiles on gay.com revealed that 26 percent preferred top, 32 percent preferred bottom and nearly half considered themselves “versatile.”)īeing a bottom - which can include gays, straights, women and non-binary people - encompasses far more than simply taking it up the ass, though. While no scientific studies have been conducted to determine what percentage of the population prefers any given sexual role, we gays assume the world is made up predominantly of bottoms. Maybe that’s why I’ve maintained an enviable respect for men and women who regularly get fucked in the ass - it demands foresight and serves absolutely no reproductive purpose, both of which I’m told add to the allure. What didn’t happen - and hasn’t since, really - was me back on the bottom. It’s hard to look someone in the eye after shitting their childhood bed - let alone date them for seven more years afterward - but that’s exactly what happened. Presumably though, most surveyed hadn’t recently gorged on three helpings of fattened goose liver. Also at play was acute paranoia of involuntary defecation, something I’d been assured was a common, yet unwarranted, concern of bottoms. For weeks we’d been easing into penetration with me on the bottom, but the pain had proven prohibitive. Following one such decadent feast my freshman year, when we were still very much in the honeymoon phase of our first gay relationship, Dan and I retired to his bedroom and got to work. Meals were rich and plentiful - foie gras, profiteroles, double magnums of Riesling, etc. - all of which I eagerly imbibed.
My college boyfriend’s family lived in a duplex on Park Avenue, where we’d often slip away on weekends.
