Ive got a sexy secret

I have been wearing bras and panties with stockings for so long now, its become a part of me, and I was wondering if you have heard of this before.

People wearing bras and panties and stockings that is something Ive heard of before.

A quick programming note: Some weeks, half the questions I get are longer than the column itself. I can jam 1,250 words into this space, provided I avoid using longer words when shorter ones are available e.g., gay has one syllable, homosexual has five asshole has two syllables, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has 12. Suffice it to say, very long letters rarely make it in. So while I usually appreciate letter writers who get to the point the more succinct the question, the better the chances it will make it into the column its possible to be too brief.

Such is the case with your letter, SFSM, which is reproduced here in its entirety. I know what kind of phone you have, but it would be more helpful to know if you are male or female or SOPATGS.* Im guessing youre a dude otherwise, you probably wouldnt feel conflicted about wearing bras, panties and stockings. So despite what Ive learned lurking on Tumblr never make assumptions about other peoples gender identities, we are never going to run out of porn Im going to run with the dude assumption.

Anyway, SFSM, men who wear bras, panties and stockings I have heard of that before, yes. Bras, panties and stockings are things that some men enjoy. But I once got pulled aside at a party by a butch dyke who confided that she likes to wear lacy/girly bras and panties under her Carhartt pants and flannel shirts. She, too, wanted to know if I had ever heard of someone like her before a woman who essentially cross-dressed by wearing womens underwear and I had to tell her that I hadnt. But that butch dyke enjoys wearing bras, panties and stockings for the exact same reason you and many other straight guys do: the frisson of transgression, the thrill of having a sexy secret, the reveal to a new partner. She didnt seem particularly conflicted about her non-butch-dyke-normative tastes heck, she seemed rather pleased with herself. You should consider her a role model, SFSM, and follow her example.

* Some other point along the gender spectrum.

Im a (mostly) straight male and Ive been dating the same woman for more than a year. Its easily the best relationship Ive been in. We get along great and rarely fight, and the sex has been great. But there were a few incidents recently when in the heat of the moment she asked me to tell her what I wanted to do and I froze. I didnt know what she expected me to say or do. These incidents ended in an argument. She views this as a sign that Im not attracted to her or I dont have a strong libido. Both are untrue. I dont have strong preferences about sexual activities. I just enjoy it. Whether its going down on her, having her go down on me, doing a bit of role-play, intercourse in pretty much any position whatever were doing, Im enjoying myself. If theres something specific she wants, all she needs to do is ask. But when she asks me to take control in the bedroom or to describe my fantasies to her, I either stare blankly at her or choose something at random, achingly unsure of whether or not I made the right choice. This has always been the way my brain works. When I masturbate, I just think about having sex, not about anything specific. When I look at porn, I am far more interested in how attracted I am to the woman involved than I am in what is going on. If you could give me some ideas for how I can make myself less boring in the sack, I would love to hear it.

You know that thing you sometimes do when your girlfriend asks in the heat of the moment what you wanna do? I dont mean stare at her blankly thats the wrong thing to do I mean choosing something at random. Do that thing every time. Randomly pick something from your established repertoire and tell her you wanna do that thing right now. Then do it, MMM, provided she indicates that she wants to do it, too. If she indicates her desire to do it verbally, then you can get right down to it, i.e., you can be a bit aggressive. If her signal is physical or nonverbal, then you should ease into that random selection much more gradually, so she can redirect and/or ask you to choose again if that particular random selection doesnt work for her.

Im a mid-40s gay man in a LTR with a man I love very much. The problem is that, due to ongoing GI problems, Im unable to bottom. At heart, Im a total bottom, and the handful of times when Ive been physically capable of bottoming (before my illness became so severe), Ive loved it way more than any other sexual act. My husband is 50/50 versatile, and we have an open relationship, so he gets what he wants from me and from others. But sometimes its frustrating for me to see him bottoming for another guy when Im unable to. When a hot guy wants to fuck me, I have to decline every time. I just tell our fuck buds that Im a total top, because it makes things easier. Im glad that my husband is having great sex, but my health problems leave me sexually unfulfilled. Im receiving treatment, but Im still not ever clean enough to bottom confidently. Im not sure that I ever will be. Any advice for me?

Sadly Unfilled Bottom

Two practical tips: first, female condoms. I realize youre a dude, and I realize that female condoms are more expensive than male condoms, but theyre a terrific option for buttfuckees worried about cleanliness. For readers who may be unfamiliar with female condoms: Theyre a bit larger than regular condoms and they get tucked inside the orifice thats about to be fucked vagina or butt and remain in place during sex. A bare dick goes into a female condom clean and comes out clean. (Technically, that bare dick comes out covered in lube and semen but thats the mess people are after, not the mess people worry about. For added safety, the top can wear a male condom.) The female condom is removed after sex, SUB, which you can do alone in the bathroom that way, if there is a mess, your loving partner/special guest star will never know.

Second option: frottage. Its not bottoming no penetration but its a worthy and pleasurable substitute. Your loving partner/special guest star puts his lubed-up dick between your thighs, right at the top, you close your legs, and he plows away. If youre on your stomach or doing it doggy style, SUB, you can put your lubed-up hands between your legs and cup your partners cock while he thrusts back and forth. Youre not being penetrated, but your taint, the outside of your hole, and your sack are all getting stimulated. Frottage is also a good first step for people who want to experiment with anal play but arent ready for penetration.
