I’m okay with my son being gay… as long as he’s not a bottom

Hi Jake,

My 20-year-old recently came out to me as homosexual. I had a feeling something was going on because he was hiding a lot from me, and I also found some “evidence” on his computer (including your website). In some ways, I’m relieved, because I knew something was off between us.

That said, I was raised in a family where homosexuality is highly discouraged. We are church people, and it’s challenging for me to divorce myself from that way of thinking. I’m trying my best, and learning from my son in the process. He tells me that he’s always felt this way, and that being gay is not his choice. While I’m still wrapping my head around it, I’m getting there.

One issue I struggle most with, however, is that it’s hard to imagine him having sexual relations with another man if he’s the submissive partner. I realize I might be overstepping, but it would help me come to terms with his new identity if at least I knew he was the masculine, dominant one. I don’t like thinking about him in another way.

Is it okay to tell my son that I accept him being gay, as long as he isn’t the passive one in the bedroom? I think that would make it easier for me to come to terms with all this.

Father Figure(ing things out)

Dear Jake,

It's me, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. I monitor my son's porn habits so I'm really worried about all the gay porn he's been watching! And if he's gay, he should definitely be a top. I want to fantasize about my son plowing guys, not the other way around

If he’s hung and has a coinslot then he should top. If he isn’t and has a rosebud then he should bottom.

A parent should be “imagining” their kid having sex at all. Just like we naturally can’t bear to picture our parents or siblings having sex. There are some places the mind just shouldn’t go, and if it does there are, at best, boundary issues.

I imagine a lot of dads secretly feel this way (or at least did when their sons first came out). Getting sucked off and fucking is more relatable to them in terms of being a manly thing than getting fucked. But do I think this letter is real? Not a chance in hell. It doesn't sound like it was written by a dad. And the mention of the website is just cringe...

(Son): "Mom, I'm gay."

(Mom looks at her son with a pleasing cheshire smile and then begins yelling for her husband) "FRED! FRED!!! I told you! You owe me $50 bucks!"

(Fred/Husband) "But, do you win the $100?"

(Mom looks back to son with an ernest pleading gaze for him to give the correct answer...)

A lot of such homophobia and specifically bottom-phobia is down to straight out (excuse the pun) misogyny. Being a bottom is seen as being “the woman” and that’s seen as degrading. The fact he’s “imagining” his son in sexual situations is also rather fucked up.

by Anonymousreply 34April 21, 2024 9:26 AM

It’s sex. Everyone almost everyone does it at some point in their life. Sex is the single most important act humans do. It’s what keeps our species a species. It’s normal it’s healthy, at least often healthy if done safely not so safe if not done safely.

Sex is like breathing or taking a pee. It’s part of life.

Parents should be talking about sex and sex lives with their kids. And the kids should feel comfortable talking to their parents about fucking, sucking, fisting and rimming etc. if it’s fucking normal to do it should not be forbidden to have intelligent conversations.

The prudes and the dirty sex people who think adults and young people need to keep all of this hidden from their parents are the true anti sex people. Forbidden and dirty and needs to be hidden.

Many of these anti sex prudes will have bareback orgies with the multitudes or suck lots of coke thru a gloyhole, but thinks what is wrong is talking to your parents about your sex lives. That’s fucked up. That’s not healthy.

Now be good boys and wear your rubbers when you go out——moms and dads advice of the day

Well considering the death toll of bottoms starting in 1981 that we saw the smart advice would be stick to being a total top. You will have better odds of surviving .Of course condoms and gloves would make a big difference as well.

When it comes to diagnosis and deaths related to sexually transmitted diseases is there any condition where tops are more at risk than bottoms ?

R41, it's true and it's not a talking point. There was a study recently showing that a lot of homophobia is really femme-phobia and rooted in fear of effeminacy in males. That's also where bottom shaming comes from

by Anonymousreply 48April 21, 2024 3:35 PM

Woman have been berated, looked down upon, and seen as weak and soft because they were dick receiving bottoms and not the strong hunters.

So do some straights and some gays look down on fem men because they adopt the weak and the soft and the dick receiving not the more traditional masculine? Sure and I bet it’s been that way since forever.

All the while woman are starting to take over and run things.

by Anonymousreply 49April 21, 2024 3:42 PM

rooted in fear of effeminacy in males.

But that's not the same as misogyny sweety. If it was we'd be told by society women should only peg men. But the most conservative, religious supposedly women hating tradition is of women BEING submissive and on the receiving end of things. They're judged if they're not. So how does that fit into your misogyny theory?

Yes woman looked down upon.

Not worthy of the vote, not worthy of being in the military, not worthy of medical or law school, not worthy of owning property directly, not worthy of being able to drive a car, not worthy to have control over her own body, property of the husband in many cultures.

The world is a bigger place, and there is something called history, than your small understanding would suggest..

R52 women were infantilized because they were stuck tending homes and kids before technology made it possible for women to free themselves from that if the wanted it. No one is disputing that, and that it was unfair and oppresive. But you're ignoring the fact that they were deemed as more emotionally evolved and therefore more worthy of care and protection. Women and children 1st existed and still exists in many ways for a reason. And men WANTED their women like that. So again how does that fit in to the idea that the "feminine" is hated?

by Anonymousreply 53April 21, 2024 4:01 PM

And when I mean infantilized I mean infantilized. Women were literally a step above children in the law in many cases (though when they fought it, they usually found success) which is why they had less rights than men. Men had more rights but they also had more responsibilities and were wholly responsible in every way for their women, be it their wives, daughters, sisters. Obviously I'm not condoning it (it was unfair to both genders) but it's a more historically accurate and nuanced argument than "WAH MEN HATE WOMEN"

by Anonymousreply 54April 21, 2024 4:08 PM

I never said fem was hated. I said it was looked down upon. Woman were restricted and managed and controlled by men throughout history.

But If you think the majority of citizens today look up to fem men as a standard to achieve for boys and men so be it.

Although as the song goes, the times they are a changing. The trans are demonstrating that.

by Anonymousreply 55April 21, 2024 4:09 PM

"I never said fem was hated. I said it was looked down upon. " Depends on the context. In certain contexts it was praised.

About fem men I don't disagree it's looked down upon but it's more about the conservative ideal of men being "masculine" and women being "feminine". Not misogyny.

As far as trans, no, they're actually playing up the conservative talking points that if you deviate from a traditional gender norm then you can't be considered of that gender.
