Contrary to popular belief, buttsex is NOT the defining factor in being a gay male. Physical attraction to the same gender IS the defining factor.

Up until my early 30's, I thought I was the only gay man in the world who didn't like buttsex, and only did it with my boyfriends because I was misguided into thinking that ALL gay men wanted it. Then at age 33 (6 years ago), I moved to a major metropolis and found out differently...LOTS of men down here prefer fondling, mutual masturbation, and frottage (google it) as their favored sexual activities. Not only is it safer, but to me it's more fun (not to mention much less prep time and clean-up).

I experimented with this on a gay forum, and found that approximately 25% of the guys who responded prefer NOT to have buttsex, and only do it for the same reason I did: They thought it was a requirement, and they live in a sparsely populated area where most openly gay men require buttsex from their partners...slim pickins.

Also, the forum I asked on was a gay fitness forum, so most of the guys are NOT the stereotype. In fact, they're more masculine than most straight guys I know...everything from personal trainers to MMA instructors to pro and semi-pro wrestlers and boxers and all other "predominately-straight" sports.

So, my questions here:
- What's your take on gay men who do NOT enjoy anal sex?
- If you fall in this category, do you have trouble finding a like-minded partner?


I know we're a rare breed, but I think it's because most non-anal gay men are afraid to come out of the closet due partially to fears of being labeled with the stereotype, and fear of not being able to find a suitable partner.

Disclaimer: This thread is NOT part of the "g0y" movement, which is a group of "christian" non-anal gay guys who spend more time bashing pro-anal gay guys than they do actually enjoying life...very sad and hateful group. If you are part of that group, your brownie points will immediately be taken away and you will not get a cookie.

Well, I'm not gay, but I'd imagine that it would be about like a straight guy who doesn't like buttsex.  Having something shoved up your butt doesn't determine who you are attracted to...

Now, I'm not talking about people who have sticks up their butts...  that's a whole different thing.

edit:  And I'm NOT going to google that... you can't make me!

I'm not gay, but I first encountered that like 6 years ago.  We had a few people in our dept, but I was friends with the girl who sat next to me.  She started talking about the gay coworker (really flamboyant), she was saying how he didn't do anal but could *insert some phrase about how good he sucks dick.* 

It was strange to me because I assumed that all gay men partook in the butt lovings. 



I didn't care either way, it was just strange to me.  Ultimately, it doesn't matter what penis you put where, all that matters is who you are attracted to.

I've met a few more since then like that....

Well as a straight women who doesn't don't like anal sex either, I can sort of understand.  my BFused to ask me all the time and I was like No way Jose! He know understands and doesn't ask anymore. We actually enjoy oral sex more than regular sex so everyone has their preferences.

I could never figure out why anal sex was always so heavily associated with gay men in the first place, since a whole lot of straight people do it too.

Perhaps the attraction is the taboo. Some people just do it for the excitement factor of it. I know several gay friends who prefer toys than someone elses penis.

Frottage is just a fancy term for dry humping (ganked from the fine art world, no less.)

And I know a few straight guys that enjoy serious anal play from women. I've believed for about 4yrs, it is about what one sticks where, but rather if you enjoy it.

IT's not about the sex, it's about who you're attracted to. If you don't like it, don't do it. That goes for gay and straight.

Isnt that similar to two straight people who love foreplay? I say; great. That can probably be more intense in a few ways as well.

It's really no different than women who don't enjoy vaginal intercourse...

What gets you off is what gets you off.  No judging here.

Everyone is different, all tastes (sexual or otherwise) differ. smile What matters is that you enjoy the person you're with...

Actually yes, it's very similar. I've been with some straight guys who simply love to be fondled while they jack off, and could care less if it's done by a male or female...even though they have no physical attraction to males.

I know a few men like this as well. It's called being sexual and knowing what you like.

I always suspected that was the case. I figure if some straight women don't like anal sex, some gay men don't like it either.

I have the same take on it as I do any gay man.
Which isn't really any take other than that they deserve the same rights as everyone else. They can like to run around their home naked wearing underwear on their head and singing Peter Gabriel for all I care and I'd still fight for them to have equal rights.

I don't know that dipping my nuts in a mug of beer would be very satisfying. Unless it was someone else's beer and they didn't know about it.

I knew some guys in the Navy who experienced that overseas with the prostitutes who would stick razor blades in their vaginas. We actually had to go through classes that taught us to "inspect the pussy inside and out" before fucking. lol
