Episode notes
Patriarchy Drives Bottom Shaming
- Bottom shaming stems from patriarchal oppression which views feminine roles as less than masculine ones.
- This oppression is deeply embedded in society and impacts perceptions in gay culture about sexual roles and masculinity.
Bottoms Deserve Recognition Too
- Most people are bottoms, yet the community idolizes tops, perpetuating shame for bottoms despite majority preference.
- Receiving emotionally and physically requires strength and should be valued equally without shame.
Prostate Pleasure Recognized
- The prostate is equivalent to the G-spot and offers immense pleasure for men and people identifying as men.
- Recognition of this is growing and shifting perceptions around anal play in both gay and straight relationships.
