Meet The ‘Sides,’ Gay Men Who Don’t Like Anal Sex
I’m nibbling on a grocery-store cheese plate in a spacious home in East L.A. with a handful of gay men who have sworn off anal sex for wonderful. They call themselves “sides,” a term coined in 2013 by Joe Kort,a Detroit-based clinical therapist who’s been counseling such men for nearly 30 years. In a HuffPo article, Kort presented an alternative to the binary classification employed by most queer men to note their preferred sexual position — i.e., “top,” the penetrator in bed, or “bottom,” the penetratee — by introducing the term “sides” to indicate one’s affinity for neither — and maybe more importantly, disdain for both. He explained that sides enjoy practically every sexual practice aside from anal penetration and select to be sexually peripheral, so to speak, rather than on the uppermost or the bottom.
“I wanted people to realize that it’s okay if you don’t like anal intercourse,” Kort tells me, adding that when people say “sex,” they usually think of “penile penetration,” especially gay guys. After receiving dozens of calls from ashamed and upset gay clients, many who used the term “broken” to describe their sexual proclivit

I sure can, and I’m glad you asked.
Know what? Some gay (A man who is attracted to other men, or a person of any sex or gender who is sexually and emotionally attracted to people of the same or a similar sex or gender. Often used alongside lesbian.) men do NOT prefer having any sort of anal sex (Sexual task involving the anus. Anal sex may include stimulation with fingers, the mouth, a penis, sex toys, or other objects or body parts.). Enjoyment of anal sex does not define or determine homosexuality, and lack of enjoyment of anal sex does not define or settle heterosexuality. So, a guy can be gay and yet not be all that interested in or even enjoy anal act . You can also be gay without engaging in anal sex: being queer is about being attracted to the same-sex (Different things people choose to do to actively convey or enact sexuality and sexual feelings; often this involves genitals, but not always. ), not about having a certain considerate of sex, so even a gay guy who never has sex with anyone is still queer, just like a hetero person who has never had sex can still know they’re heterosexual (Someone who is only or mostly emotionally and sexuall
Millionsofus are on the one-night stand apps. Gay porn is wildly popular. Most of us think about sex most of the occasion. We are sexually liberated. So why do we have so little sex?
By sex I don't mean "Bill Clinton sex" (oral). I'm talking penetration--where the hardware goes into the software. A limited years ago George Mason University teamed up with Online Buddies (the owners of Manhunt and Jack'd) to conduct the largest scientific poll of same-sex attracted male sex habits. They surveyed 24,787 gay and bisexual men between the ages of 18 and 87 in the US. One of their most shocking findings was that gay men have relatively little penetrative sex. Their survey showed that 35.5% of men engaged in receptive anal sex within the last 30 days. 33.8% of participants engaged in insertive anal intercourse.
There are very scant reliable studies on male lover sex habits. Other than the George Mason survey, we have to rely on non-scientific but still useful surveys like the ongoing one on about.com showing, with 8,000 respondents, that 29% of homosexual men "Always" have intercourse when they have sex.
Between these two surveys, and others like them, a fairly clear picture emerges--we have a lot less penetrative sex tha
Life on the Bottom
I enjoyed a short-lived career on the bottom. My college boyfriend’s family lived in a duplex on Park Road, where we’d often slip away on weekends. Meals were rich and plentiful — foie gras, profiteroles, double magnums of Riesling, etc. — all of which I eagerly imbibed. 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. For weeks we’d been easing into penetration with me on the bottom, but the pain had proven prohibitive. Also at play was acute paranoia of involuntary defecation, something I’d been assured was a common, yet unwarranted, concern of bottoms.
Presumably though, most surveyed hadn’t recently gorged on three helpings of fattened goose liver. It’s tough 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. What didn’t happen — and hasn’t since, really — was me back on the bottom.

Why do some linear men have sex with other men?
According to nationally-representative surveys in the Together States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men.
In the unused book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America released today, UBC sociologist Dr. Tony Silva argues that these men – many of whom savor hunting, fishing and shooting guns – are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.
After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva initiate that they appreciate a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly identifying with straight culture.
We spoke with Dr. Silva about his book.
Why do straight-identified men have sex with other men?
The majority of the men I interviewed reported that they are primarily attracted to women, not men. Most of these men are also married to women and prefer to have sex with women. They explained that although they loved their wives, their marital sex lives were not as active as they wanted. Sex with men allowed them to contain more sex. They don’t consider sex with men cheating and s
