Gay assholr
Coined in by sex and relationship therapist Joe Kortwho himself is queer and identifies as a side, the term has gained steam only recently. Akash feels only a side can truly empathise with another side. For many queer men, anal is the end-all-be-all activity, the ultimate peak gay sexual gratification that helps them get off.
A medical condition that lead to anal fissures — a tissue tear that makes eating spicy food a near impossible task — made taking a dick out assholr the question for me. On the other hand, the tops have to just show up. Rahul Arora, a year-old chef based in Kolkata in gay India, believes that when compared to tops and bottoms, the bond between two sides is much stronger.
Bodyplay is when someone runs their fingers sensually over your body and genitalia, discovers the erogenous zones that can set you off, and caresses and feels your skin in a sensual manner. While queer men are getting familiarised with the term on a global scale and trying to adapt it into their own settings, there are still those judging them for not being in a clearly pre-determined bracket of gay sex.
There are times when people on dating apps are scared to refer to themselves as sides, assholr rejection and isolation. By telling someone about not wanting anal sex, you run the risk of marginalising yourself further. Ghorpade noted that the pressure to have anal sex can be so intense that many have forced themselves into painful sexual experiences.
In a sea of cum dump fantasies, sides could just be the fresh breath of intimacy that gay sexual encounters needed. Follow Navin on Twitter. By Stephen Andrew Galiher. By Luis Prada.
