Being penetrated…
Even among gay men it’s often viewed as something that makes you ‘less than’…
Weaker, vulnerable, less of a man.
Damn right it’s vulnerable - allowing another person to put part of their body inside yours is about as vulnerable as it gets!
It requires trust - not just of the other person, but of your own body, your own capacity to feel what feels good and what doesn’t, and to take care of your own limits.
Those are skills that make you stronger, not weaker.
Trusting myself, knowing myself better, embracing my own vulnerability has made me more of a man, not less.
Some of the times I’ve felt most powerful have been when I allowed that vulnerability!
