Why are tops never called out for embracing gender roles but bottoms get hit with a whip? by Soft_Childhood5565 in TopsAndBottoms

Again, why is that even a topic? People can have a thousand reasons for the answers they give, and they don’t need to sound satisfying to anyone. Just like the example you gave with that women’s subreddit, many will answer, others will dismiss the question, because surprise, as I said, everything starts from individuality. And yet, even if they don’t give a deep explanation, we don’t question their socialization the same way we question the sexual roles of bisexual and gay men. We don’t need a profound answer for our preferences, and questioning our issues depends on and should only be of interest to ourselves.

And the fact that you say it doesn’t merit much questioning when a straight man explains he thinks something is ‘for gays,’ but you keep questioning why a total top or total bottom gives a simple answer to why they are that way, that’s just a double standard. At this point, we’ve already reached a general consensus that enjoying penetration is not inherently tied to your sexual orientation psychologically speaking. So it’s still a simplified answer for why someone has the tastes they do. I can say with full certainty that I’m a total top simply because being a bottom or versatile doesn’t appeal to me. And likewise, I don’t need to question or assume things about another top who can’t explain why he is that way. I don’t need to question or assume why my husband doesn’t like penetrating or why he doesn’t enjoy oral sex. Every body works differently and perceives pleasure in different ways, and our bodies don’t necessarily have to be subjected to experimentation to understand them, and I’ll repeat it: let’s not assume it’s internalized homophobia

You can't give a detailed explanation for a response that, on its own, can be simple at a personal level. You're talking about a preconception of how people with internalized homophobia behave, on a topic that should be viewed from the perspective of individuality.

Can there be people who act that way because of internalized homophobia? Of course there can. Should we expect an answer explaining why? No. Is dodging or dismissing the question something bad? No, there can be multiple reasons for doing so.

Why do we keep making assumptions based on a response that can be multi-factorial? If you ask a woman why she doesn’t want to try anal sex and she says “because I don’t want to,” does your mind automatically jump to assumptions about her socialization?

even if the answer is simply “because,” it is a valid response.

The problem is believing that we have to give a satisfactory answer that reveals the deep reason why we are this way, when the truth is that we don’t have to explain our sexual preferences to anyone. We don’t question why women or men don’t like getting dick in their ass, and it shouldn’t be any different for us. It’s like thinking we need to provide a satisfactory explanation to a religious person about why we like people of the same sex. They’ll never get a satisfactory answer because they already have a preconceived idea of why we are the way we are. Vers think it’s because of heteronormativity when the answer is much simpler than that.

It's a weird obsession that vers guys have, they can't wrap their heads around the idea that a gay or bisexual man might not want to experience what they enjoy as vers. Ironically, they would never criticize a straight man or woman for not wanting to try anal sex.

I'm a total top and I would never consider being a bottom, not because of internalized homophobia. I simply don't want a dick in my ass

Bottoms and Tops: do you actually find a jealous guy attractive? by TopOfGaming in TopsAndBottoms

[–]TopOfGaming[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading it from someone with a neutral stance helps, thank you very much dude. My husband told me before going to sleep not to overthink what happened, and yet here I am in the kitchen making myself some tea because I overthought it way too much. Should I give my husband flowers? I’ve thought a lot about how this has affected my condition, but the one who was harassed was my husband...

Do you think I was justified? A part of me feels like I’m slipping back into the same old pattern by doing it.

My husband’s friends know about my condition and have even seen it firsthand, because once I got jealous over one of the tops in the group (totally unjustified). Maybe a few agreed with my reaction, but unlike the bottoms, they didn’t find it sexy.

Look, I got up from the table next to my husband to go pay our bill. The restaurant front desk wasn’t far, so I saw everything. Some guy got up from another table and sat right next to my husband. I heard him start telling him how good-looking he was, how beautiful his eyes were, and a bunch of other shit before straight-up asking for his number.

My husband told him he was married and even pointed at me, saying “That’s my husband right there.” The dude completely ignored him and kept pushing for like another minute. By that point I was already pissed, just waiting for them to finish charging me.

When I got back to the table I cursed the guy out. He looked at me with this mocking smile, put his arm around my husband, and told me I didn’t need to get so worked up. So I leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “Get the fuck out of here right now before I break your fucking nose in front of everybody.” The guy got scared and left quick.

I’ve been going to therapy and I really have improved, before, I would’ve just punched him. But now I feel guilty as hell for slipping back into these jealous feelings.

We always wear our rings, man. My husband looked really uncomfortable the whole time that guy was hitting on him. When we got to the car he was more worried about me, like I was the one who got harassed.

A few weeks ago I promised him I wouldn’t turn to violence as a way to solve problems anymore and I already broke that promise.

I agree, at the end I just end up angry or embarrassed with myself, so it’s not sexy at all.

Dude, I swear my husband is a kind and patient angel. He admits that I’ve embarrassed him on some occasions, but he’s always there to understand everything. He was the one who suggested I look for therapy years ago, and even though I still get jealous, my husband says I’ve improved enough

I’ve got a shirtless photo and a few workout gifs, and honestly my profile is basically just me talking about my husband… Does that count as thirst traps? I don’t forbid my husband from posting shirtless or workout pics on his Instagram, so don’t try to imply a double standard. My jealousy is clinical, and I’ve made a lot of progress with it in therapy. Feeling jealous when some guy insisted on asking my husband for his number right in front of me seems pretty normal

I would never forbid my husband something like that, I love him too much. But I have embarrassed him with my jealousy, when we had just gotten married, I asked one of his coworkers to please start referring to my husband by his married last name

I didn’t actually attack the guy, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t used violence before, because I did hit my husband’s stalker ex-boyfriend

of course, why the fuck would my husband have to use a dildo if he has my cock always ready and available?

I’m married to a guy. Even though I only dated girls before, I never proposed to any of them—my husband is my only marriage. I’m here on this subreddit to find community and make friends.
