5 THGS STRAIGHT PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT GAY SEX

Gay people general are much more well-versed heterosexual sexual practic due to the tnal and cultural bias toward straight people this area.

It’s worth notg that I am speakg om the perspective of a gay man, not the entire LGBTQ muny, and I aim to enlighten members of the straight muny on how gay men prepare, engage and enjoy sex between ourselv. Our heterosexual iends might assume that gay sex is fairly straightforward when to posns and preferenc the bedroom, but this is not the se. When to anal sex you may have heard the terms top and bottom: a top is a term ed to scribe a gay man whose preference is to act as the sertive sexual partner, whereas a bottom is a gay man who prefers to act as the receptive partner.

THE BIGGT MYTH ABOUT GAY SEX

I’m sure that for many straight people the first thg that sprgs to md when asked about gay sex is anal, and there is a misnceptn that every gay man tak part and enjoys anal sex. This might lead straight people to wonr if a gay person who don’t enjoy anal sex n fully enjoy a sexual experience wh other gay people, and the answer is of urse y, they n. (Picture: Mmuff for)Referrg to sex the homosexual muny as ‘gay sex’ is ed to differentiate sexual activy between heterosexual and gay people.

This label n perpetuate the sometim damagg ia that gay sex is a somehow foreign or unual activy, but ’s worth notg that to gay people, gay sex is simply jt sex.

DO GAY UPL HAVE MORE SEX THAN HETEROSEXUAL UPL?

Gay people enjoy the same timate pleasur sex has to offer and are turned on by the excement and physily wh our sexual partners the same way straight people are. It’s what Wtern culture would have you believe, too; ass-play has long been associated wh gayns, and wh good reason. Datg back to the ancient Greece, anal sex played a role the exprsn of same-sex sexualy (albe, wh fewer varieti of lube) art of anal sex is the thg that, both posively and negatively, has e to reprent gay men.

In other words: There’s more than one way for gays to ’s not all about basMeghan Traor was wrong; ’s not all about that base. Beg gay n be hard enough by self whout then also worryg about the prsur om wh our own muny to nform to some sort of standard. Homosexuals nform to the pattern: Gay men typilly have more partners than lbians, and one study San Francis found that nearly 50% of gay men had more than 500 partners.

GAYS VS. STRAIGHTS: ANY DIFFERENC SEXUAL SATISFACTN?

For example, when a “closeted” gay or bisexual man has sex wh another man, he views that sex as reflectg his secret gay/bisexual inty. A mory of the men I terviewed were homophobic and held prejudice agast LGBTQ2+ people and this prejudice mak the thought of an LGBTQ2+ inty unappealg to them. Until we are at the end of the relatnship (2-5 years) and the sexual sire has pletely left the answer to your qutn:I do not believe that gay upl have sex more than heterosexual upl.

I have lived as both a straight married man and Gay man/ I believe that this issue of amount falls to the dividual and what is right for them. There is some rearch suggtg that on average, gay men relatnships have slightly more sex than the average straight uple (which is about three tim a week for the first two years).

GAY OR STRAIGHT, A MALE IS A MALE IS A MALE

It's amazg how ltle rearch has foced on this — jt two studi (1983 and 1991, and they provi only a cursory look at parative gay/straight sexual satisfactn). Dire cl long-term upl, but on average, men reta more sire than women, so we would expect men gay upl to feel the most sire, and women lbian upl the least, wh the men mixed-sex upl exprsg more libido than the women.

But the survey, sexual sire was pretty much the same for all upl, wh gay men and lbians exprsg slightly more sire than heterosexuals. Siary breeds fort, so pared wh those heterosexual upl, we would expect people lbian and gay upl to feel more satisfied wh their sexual munitn.

The only difference was that women, both lbian and straight, felt somewhat more satisfied wh non-genal rs than men, both gay and straight, prumably bee pared wh women, men tend to be more genal-foced. But bottom le: Contrary to nventnal wisdom, terms of sexual sire, munitn, and satisfactn, people homo- and heterosexual upl are much more siar than different. There's a lot between the two extrem of makg love to the man of your life, and havg a rnchy, anonymo hookup a here are 18 typ of sex all gay/bi men should experience (at least once) at some pot their liv!

But as I’ll be monstratg, the major (and ltle regnized) siari between them ultimately suggt that a gay’s “sexual psyche” is much more plementary to a heterosexual male’s than ntrastg to . Although I’ll be focg on the siari that profoundly lk gays and straights what sexually turns them on, I’ll start by enumeratg some differenc that do fact separate them. One key assumptn about gays is that they’re somehow ls manly than straight men—that they’re effemate, even “girlish, ” their behavr and preferenc.

Although this may be te of some gays, jt how do we expla the p evince that they’re, if anythg, more terted masculy than straight mal are? As the two thors put : “The vast majory of gay men prefer to masturbate while thkg about wboys, firemen, or David Beckham stead of drag queens, ballet dancers, or Elton John.

PENIS SIZE AND PREFERRED SEXUAL ROL AMONG GAY MEN

” And further: “On the televisn show Glee, the football player Fn and mohawked bad boy Puck are bigger turn-ons for gay men than the effemate gay character Kurt” (p. Ogas and Gaddam also observe that terms of excg the passn of gay mal, many of them need to know whether the porn mol or actor they’re watchg is gay or straight. And as opposed to porn for straight mal, where the man’s body is rarely highlighted, what we might term “gay heterosexual porn, ” ’s the woman’s body that’s almost cintal.

But returng to gay preferenc, is not cur—not to say, untertuive—that, overall, gays’ aroal would be more strongly activated by heterosexual mal than by fellow gays (where their attractn would much more likely be reciproted)? And do appear that to be sexually turned on, the gay bra may be stctured to search for masculy cu que as psychologil as physil.

Most gays’ preference for takg the submissive role sexual teractns also ns unter to the domance a clear majory of heterosexual men favor. But here, too, the dynamic would seem to dite that gays’ bras are “preload” to genr cu that (if anythg) are hyper-mascule, sce they’re generally attracted to mal more mascule than they are. Gay porn, viewed terms of “tops” and “bottoms” (or “doms” and “subs”), reveals that most gays prefer the bottom posn.

A somewhat illy exaggerated quote that Ogas and Gaddam offer to illtrate this suatn is om a 37-year-old gay man, who laments: “‘Tops have so easy.

And the thors further observe that though bottoms strongly outnumber tops gay porn, the tops “are the biggt stars wh the biggt fan bas and the biggt paychecks” (p. So, unsurprisgly, the genr cu operatg gays e them to be drawn toward other men and (also siar to most women) make them more fortable a sexually submissive, rather than domant, role.

What is , then, that fally renrs a gay man’s sexual bra far more siar to that of a straight male’s than to a female’s? In ntrast to most women—who fd graphic pictns of sex and private part close-ups a turn-off—heterosexual and gay mal are siarly tillated by such explic pictns of lt--acton. As Ogas and Gaddam remark: “Except for the fact that the male body is the star, gay porn looks and feels exactly like straight porn.
