gay men and anal sex
Roughly three-fourths (75%) of gay men have had anal sex at one time or
another throughout their lives. Now, assuming these men continue
having anal sex, that leaves at least a quarter of all gay men
that have either never tried or no longer have anal. That's a
lot of gay men that aren't into anal sex. Why? There could be a number
of reasons:
- Personal taste. Some guys may have tried anal only to
discover that they find no pleasure in topping or bottoming. Those
that have never tried anal may continue to have no desire to
participate.
- Stigma. There are stigmas associated with men who have
anal sex with other men. The top is often thought to be the
dominant partner while the bottom is considered the more
submissive. This isn't always true. So, anal sex can pose a
problem to, say, a bottom that doesn't want to be seen as or feel
like the "weaker" or less dominate man.
- Anxiety. There are more letters in the STD alphabet
soup than any of us would like. The risk of contracting an STD,
from the most treatable to the incurable, causes quite a bit of
anxiety. Anal sex can be a pathway to many fears, so some feel
it's better to abstain than engage.
- Feelings. Anal penetration is one of our closest
physical connections. Many prefer there be feelings associated
with that level of closeness. So, some men abstain from anal
unless they have an emotional connection with their partner.
Sex is personal. So much so, that preferences, pleasures, desires,
wants and needs vary by the individual. Our sexuality, which includes
all of the things just mentioned, changes as we experience and grow.
What we like today may not be what we're into tomorrow.
