[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate that they had Anthony giving in and doing a sexual act he was pressured into. There is nothing wrong with wanting to say no to anal sex. It can lead to fissures and other issues, as Anthony said. Thre are many ways to be physically intimate and romanticizing him doing something he didn’t want to do didn’t sit well with me.[/quote]

Agree with this, and I particularly dislike how it was framed as Anthony being withholding generally and "putting up walls", as though doing a specific sexual act (that MANY people find uncomfortable, unnecessarily risky, and not that pleasurable) reflects a general resistance to be intimate. I've encountered that argument before and it's BS. You can be an open, loving person fully capable of true intimacy and still have boundaries regarding sex simply because some things don't feel good or comfortable to you. Conflating certain sex acts with intimacy is childish and the domain of manipulative, sometimes abusive, people.

You know what is truly intimate? Respecting your partners boundaries and accepting them for who they are, instead of threatening to leave the country if they won't let you do anal.[/quote]

This was incredibly uncomfortable and would have been really infuriating if they portrayed a woman being pushed into anal[/quote]

Sure. Because most women don’t do it.

But don’t most gay men?

I was surprised by the storyline. Is this even a thing? [/quote]

There was a hilarious scene in SATC either S1 or 2 when Charlotte's new guy wanted anal. They all met up in the back of a cab before her date to discuss. It was light and funny and just another "thing" single women had to deal with while dating.

To answer your question, gay men are usually tops or bottoms. Defined givers or receivers. At least older men (Anthony)are. So that was part of the convo the episode before when he was saying how different their generations are.[/quote]
