Gay bros rise to the defense of tall bottoms: “Hottest sex I’ve had”
queerty.comAnyone can be a top and anyone can be a bottom—or vers or even a side, for that matter—but we all know the stereotypes about tops and bottoms.
Such stereotypes would have you believe that tops are tall, domineering, and masculine, while bottoms are short, submissive, and feminine.And in a Reddit’s r/askgaybros forum, one 6-foot-2 Reddit user said he’s been made to feel “kinda undesirable by some tops, especially the dominating ones.”“Have any of you bottoms got rejected for your tallness?” the user added.Related: WATCH: The struggle is real for the 6’4” bottomUnfortunately, that tall bottom is on the receiving end—pun very much intended—of a scientifically verified bias.In a study published in PLOS One in 2014, researchers studied the height preferences among non-heterosexual men and found that “men that preferred a more dominant and more ‘active’ sexual role preferred shorter partners, whereas those that preferred a more submissive and more ‘passive’ sexual role preferred taller partners.”In other words, “men who preferred to be ‘top’ in the dyad preferred shorter partners, whereas men who preferred to be ‘bottom’ preferred taller partners,” as the researchers wrote.

There was a 5-foot-11 guy that made me fall for him. And then said he wanted a short, bottom Tom Holland. He said I was too tall. (I’m 6-foot-2.) That sucked because he was really handsome, smart, and good in the bed.
