I'm a 21-year-old male student and I'm gay. I came out fairly recently and I'm feeling optimistic about my love life.
I've received a decent amount of sexual interest from other gay men and would like to have a relationship. But I'm terrified of bottoms. The thought of anal sex fills me with fear and is a serious turn-off. I enjoy oral sex and intimacy, but I realise that this isn't enough for most potential partners. I'm worried that if I do meet somebody I like, this will be a deal-breaker. Should I try to get over this phobia?
Today's question put to The Guardian's agony aunt, Pamela Stephenson Connolly.
What would you say to our tormented gay student?

ReplyDeleteI don't understand.
ReplyDeleteIs he terrified of other people's bottoms?
Or his own bottom?
Or just gay dudes who "bottom"?
I think he thinks he is being stalked by his own bottom.
DeleteEvery time he looks round, there it is. :(
Once you've had bottom, you'll never go back.

ReplyDeleteHahahah!

I ballsed it up: "I'd rather have a bottom in front of me than a bottom on top 'o me".
DeleteO well...
xx
Is that a bottle in front of me or a frontal lobotomy?
ReplyDeleteIs that a picture of Tom crying over spilt milk?
ReplyDeleteEase up, guys'n'gals. Yep, there's something awfully gigglesome about "I'm terrified of bottoms", but I wouldn't be surprised if the phrase were a sub's sad attempt to make more decorous something a bit earthier in the original. The guy's problem is genuine enough.
ReplyDeleteReally?
DeleteI know how he feels, even though I'm gay I find anal sex repulsive!
