There's a part of me that wishes that every straight man did get fucked because the experience— Whoa, hot take, hot take. —coming from someone who like, I have never fucked you. That hasn't ever been a part of our sex life. We're not, you know, interested in doing it. Super excited for people who want to, but just for us, it's not like something that is exciting. But I do think that there's something about understanding what it's like to be fucked. Like having somebody penetrate you with their body is a very vulnerable, very intimate experience. And I just think it would be interesting— like, I am interested in what it would be like to fuck somebody, like, to have a penis and be able to— like, it sounds kind of fun. But I think particularly for men, being able to experience what it's like to be fucked would be— I just think all men kind of should.
