My husband enjoys it very much. I wish that I enjoyed doing it to him as much. Alas, I don’t. ---

Back in the day, I had quite a boisterous group of friends. One of these guys, in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, picked up a hooker for the first time. As soon as he penetrated her, she ‘penetrated’ him and he popped almost instantly. On the one hand, he was excited to learn of this new and intense sensation, but on the other hand he felt gypped because his big adventure with a New Orleans prostitute lasted only a few seconds…which of course is what she had in mind all along. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Lemur866] Liking anal stimulation doesn’t make you gay, if that’s what you’re asking. There is no biological difference between a gay guy’s asshole and a straight guy’s asshole, so if some gay men enjoy anal stimulation why should it be surprising that a similar proportion of straight me do? [/QUOTE] If some guy likes being penetrated anally, what is the difference between being penetrated anally by a penis-shaped dildo and being penetrated by an actual penis? Why would one have a preference or dislike for one over the other? I assume because the latter is attached to a man. If men who like anal penetration had no psychological hangups about being penetrated anally by another man, then they would enjoy it just as much. But then, what makes someone gay? If “straight men” go around penetrating each other anally because it feels good, what do gays do that would classify them differently from these straight men? I guess the straight men also enjoy sex with women. But, in my opinion, that would make them bisexual, and not straight. ---

I don’t think this is too much of a hijack but are there gay men that don’t enjoy anal sex? ---

Any of you guys ever watched the movie _Airbag_? Some of the jokes will be completely lost on you (political), but it’s still absolutely hilarious. Absurdist humor, mostly. And yes, there is a relationship. If you want to find it out, watch the movie. ---

I think the biggest thing gay haters harp on is the “ass bit.” Like that’s all any gay guy ever does and no straight guy every does it. ---

It’s not like the only place you feel anything during sex is in your genitals. A guy getting fucked in the ass by a woman wearing a strap-on is still going to feel the woman’s body pressing against his back, which is pretty distinct from having a naked guy pressing against your back. The noises she makes are not going to sound like the noises a guy makes. She’s going to smell differently. And, even if he’s not looking at her, the fact that he’s being penetrated by someone he finds sexually attractive is going to add a whole level of enjoyment to the exercise that would not be there for someone about whom he felt sexually neutral. > [@](#): > > But then, what makes someone gay? If “straight men” go around penetrating each other anally because it feels good, what do gays do that would classify them differently from these straight men? I guess the straight men also enjoy sex with women. But, in my opinion, that would make them bisexual, and not straight. What gay men do that straight men don’t is fall in love with other men. A straight man who has sex with guys just to get off, but doesn’t find them sexually attractive isn’t bisexual, because a bisexual is attracted to (and able to forge romantic bonds with) members of either gender. ---

[QUOTE=Cheesesteak] This is also presumably why straight men prefer kissing women to kissing men. [/QUOTE] Yes, and while there are lesbians who enjoy the feeling of penetration, they don’t enjoy being penetrated by men. Straight men who like to have anal sex with women aren’t assumed to be happy with gay sex normally, so I don’t see a correlation between one’s role in penetration superseding sexual orientation. Rosie O’Donnel could surprise me in my bed with a dildo, but I sure as _hell_ wouldn’t react the same way I would to finding Stuart Townsend there. ---
