Bottoming can expose you to certain infections and injuries if you’re not careful. But if you’re open to it and able, there’s great pleasure to be had when inviting penetration, whether you’re playing with a longtime partner, a new friend, or yourself.Īs with any position, there are some challenges to bottoming effectively. For others, it’s a no-go, whether because anal sex can sometimes be painful or unpleasant, because of the unique way their body works, or simply because they prefer other kinds of sex. For some, it’s a gateway to enormous amounts of pleasure and a way to enact deeply held fantasies.
Bottoming isn’t everything when it comes to queer sex, but it certainly is something.
