I’m a total bottom & I just heard something shocking about my favorite position. Am I a damaged person?
Hi Jake,Total bottom here and I carry no “bottom shame.” It’s always just been my preference and I don’t give into homophobic notions that there’s something “less than” about being the receptive partner in the bedroom.
That said, I came across an article that did make me question something…The author was saying that if you only have sex from behind (a.k.a. “doggy style”), you’re actually not engaging in “real intimacy” with your partner.
They went on to imply that when you’re looking the other direction, you might as well be having sex with “anyone,” and it’s purely about the physical act, and nothing to do with the person who’s giving it to you.

I never really thought I was afraid of intimacy, but am I? Is there something damaged about me for enjoying being taken from behind?
