So you're doing some heavy lifting? :wiggle:
I'm curious about what you want to know. Do you want to know if this this common? It's definitely less common since there
is that perception of "gayness", but probably more common than you think. Do you want to know if it is gay? In that case, I'd have to ask: are you gay? Do you have any sexual and emotional desires exclusively for men? If not, and considering you are someone who plays with and penetrates their ass during sexual release time, I'd say the act is essentially
not gay. Homosexual men may do it more often, but perhaps that's because they've broken through social stigmas about assplay at a faster rate than heterosexual men. They don't have to worry about being perceived as "gay" because they know they are. They can focus on the PLEASURE that region can give them (access to the prostate, and the copious nerve endings around and in the anus).
On a further note, I'd say that you seem to be too caught up in what other people might think about what you find pleasurable. Why are you giving them that control over your life?
Finally, keep it safe. That area wasn't designed as an entrance, and it hosts all kinds of bacteria. Clean it regularly. Don't stretch it too much or too often, and it would probably be a good idea not to poke the prostate every day. Enjoy! :biggrin1:
