First time bottoming - how to rationalize?

[jayranner5]

I've been playing with toys for about a year now and I really want to try a real cock since I've heard its the best. I'm straight so its hard to me to think about male on male contact. However, I recently had a 3some with a bimale where he stroked my cock at one point & was caressing my ass while I fucked his girlfriend, which I was totally okay with.
My question is, how do you guys rationalize receiving anal sex for the first time? Every time I get done jerking off to watching guy on guy porn, I feel guilty about it. What I'm fearing is that if I bottom for a guy, I'll feel less than a man afterwards, like it will really hurt my self esteem. I'm trying to get my mind to believe that being able receive anal & enjoy myself as a strength, as a positive thing, like I'm MORE of a man because I'm able to enhance my sex life with an open mind.
What did you guys go through your first time bottoming & how did you feel afterwards?

You appear to be still in the stage of your journey into your sexuality of seeing sex as purely entertaining, fun, pleasant. Good sex, let us admit, ought to include all those but in the span of a lifetime it ought to be much more. Having bottomed and topped and just about everything else that two men can do sexually, I have to say that, now that I am much older, I do not view things the way I once did.

IMHO it will make a great deal of difference how that first experience of bottoming comes about. I was fortunate in that my first partner in sex, we were both teenagers, was with the new guy in town and I learned very quickly that it is possible and indeed wonderful to discover that it is as possible to love a guy as it is to love a girl. And, when two loving teenagers express their affection the bond grows stronger. There came that point when the sex happened and it was wonderful because it confirmed the bond and indeed strengthened the bond. It was I who bottomed, but my loving partner was a caring and patient top and in the afterglow my review of my first time as a bottom to anyone was so enthusiatic that my teen lover was eager for me to "do" him too. My esteem for my partner was great and his esteem for me was also great. We haven't had any sex together since we graduated from high school, but he remains my dearest male friend; I loved him then and I love him still.

Strangely, we both thought of ourselves as regular guys, but we had the good sense to give ourselves permission to do what comes naturally for two loving persons and what we experienced together has had a positive influence on our lives to this day.
Without the bond of love, I doubt that would have been what we carried away from our openness to anal sex.

By all means, keep an open mind; you may discover that there is more complexity about your unique sexuality than you have yet thought about.

Hey jayranner5. Indeed, your honesty with yourself is probably the greatest strength you posess. The journey of self-understanding isn't easy for anyone, especially when discovering your own sexuality. You've already come much farther than most every do, and you should be commended for that.

There's nothing wrong with jacking off to gay porn, or wanted to experience sex with a guy. I know hearing that probably doesn't help, and I hate that the feelings bring you shame, but I certainly undertand. I've been there too. I think you hit the nail on the head by saying that it's important to keep an open mind. Whatever happens will be right, as long as you are true to yourself. Take your time, and be really sure of your feelings. They will never let you down.

Best of luck to you, and lots of love. =)

I think in a way you're being influenced by pop culture, and how getting it is woosy and effeminate.

I don't really agree with that, since plenty of traditionally male-acting guys go wild from getting it. Most of the time, people are bottoms because of the pleasure they get from it.

I'd just think not to rationalise, and just enjoy it.

In the end, there is nothing to really rationalize. You are an adult and should be able to have consensual sex with whomever and however it pleases you.

I was more ready to accept that I am primarily gay, so when the bottoming came, it was with eager anticipation that I engaged in anal sex, and the guilty feeling wasn't there. I am however, still learning to physically enjoy it, for my ass is pretty tight!

This experience you have of feeling guilty about enjoying watching man on man sex and getting off to it is something that only you can decide to feel good about, and it sounds as though you're taking the right approach.

If you start consciously deciding that you're going to enjoy yourself, then eventually, you absolutely will, and this guilty feeling will fade. Soon, you'll wonder why you ever questioned your feelings about it, because your impulses to have sex and explore and experience variety are totally normal. This being said, experiencing gay sex has no bearing on your straight side, other than to give you context.

Go experience it and decide if you enjoy it!

The first time I bottomed remember lying there with my legs on his shoulders as he was pounding away and thinking to myself "I can't believe I am letting another dude screw me in the ass and loving it." LOL

 

[AquaEyes11010]

I guess I have a different perspective on it. I don't think of myself as allowing another guy to get off by being in me. I think of having another guy pleasure me on the inside. I still feel that I'm in control the same way I would if he was giving me head, just that instead of pleasuring my penis with his mouth, he's pleasuring my ass with his penis.

Enjoying toys for about a year means you have "turned-on" your other sex organ (is the way I look at it)..And you can pleasure that also, and why not...If you're think bottoming, will somehow affect your self-concept as a Man, then wait...But think about it..You already enjoy sex with that part of your body, so it does not make you any less of a Man, it just makes you more experienced in sex...It's out there to have, so have some.

 

[cjdc13]

It's just the usual thing with society, the cliche that all bottoms have to be fem "screaming queens". Taking a cock doesn't make you any less of a man. To hell with guilt, sex shouldn't be about that. If it feels good and you are safe then I say go for it.

This makes a lot of sense to me. but if it still doesnt seem macho enough to you, maybe play a mind-game with yourself: try thinking of the act of accepting a penis as a physical challenge, like an athletic event. Tel yourself only a strong man could accept it....a wimp wouldnt be able to stand it.

btw -- warning, it really might be uncomfortable at first, so you may as well expect it. But hang in there and when you manage to relax, it can feel good.

Thanks for all the replies, it makes me feel a little bit better about the idea. How did it FEEL the first time, was it all you expected?

I think your fear is not feeling less of a man or losing self-esteem, but finding out your ultimate dream have been realized. That is to say, that you like to take a big dick up the ass.

That would not, necessarily, make gay.

it is all in your head. you need to RELAX and get over any sociological issues associated with it. if you are in it to have a great time and really feel good, you need to be in the mindset. it will hurt a lot the first time it goes in, but BREATHE & RELAX. you have already played with toys so you know what to expect but its nice if the person you have fuck you knows what he is doing

 

[bigbiboy]

My feelings after the first time I bottomed were ones of pride, I felt no guilt or shame, which suprised me a bit. It really did make me feel that I had just done something special and natural and was so pleased with my self for doing it. Don't get wrapped up in the guilt of doing something that you will enjoy just because some people don't like it, it's a healthy natural thing love and enjoy.

Being the kind of person who researches anything to death before I start probably prevented me from experiencing the pain typically described by others -- I was totally prepared and relaxed and ready for it. To me, the first time felt like someone found a new part of my penis of which I wasn't previously aware and made it feel really good. While for me it wasn't as intense as actual penis stimulation, it was a strong secondary sensation, like how most people have particular non-genital regions that are very sensitive to pleasure. In terms of reaching orgasm, on a scale of 0 ("at rest) to 10 ("at orgasm"), it brought me to about a 7 or so and kept me there, until added penis stimulation at the appropriate time (so as to orgasm together) brought me all the way to 10.

Depending on the size of your toy, you might not feel any pain at all on his entry. Seems to me that dicks are a little bit more forgiving than silicone, so if you choose a playmate who is about the same size as your toy, it should actually go in easier. Relax and have fun.

I've "bottomed" only 3 times in my life. It's not for me; it hurts. Also, I see it as dangerous; a broken condom could have dire consequences, like causing me to become HIV+.

I've also "topped" 3 times in my life. The last time became messy and I was totally grossed out.

 

[B_ILIW]

my first time bottoming was cool. :biggrin1: he wasn't very well endowed, but he certainly knew how to use it. he worked my prostate like no tomorrow, and all in all it was out of this world.
