Studies among gay men have indicated that percentages are similar when comparing men who prefer to penetrate their partners to those who prefer to be the receptive partner. A large percentage of gay and bisexual men self-report lifetime participation in anal sex. Reports pertaining to the prevalence of anal sex among MSM have varied over time, with some percentages higher than others. With regard to pain or being uncomfortable during anal sex, some research indicates that, for 24% to 61% of gay or bisexual men, painful receptive anal sex (known as anodyspareunia) is a frequent lifetime sexual difficulty. indicated that orgasm rates are similar among men across sexual orientations. A study sampling single people in the U.S. A study by the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior (NSSHB) indicated that men who self-report taking a receptive position during anal sex in their last encounter were at least as likely to have reached orgasm as men who adopted an insertive role. While the nerve endings in the anus can provide pleasurable feelings, an orgasm may be achieved through receptive anal penetration by indirect stimulation of the prostate. Pleasure, pain, or both may accompany anal sex. When MSM engage in anal sex without using a condom, this is referred to as bareback sex. Īmong men who have anal sex with other men, the insertive partner may be referred to as the top, the one being penetrated may be referred to as the bottom, and those who enjoy either role may be referred to as versatile. Many MSM, however, do not engage in anal sex, and may engage in oral sex, frottage or frot, or mutual masturbation instead. Historically, anal sex has been popularly associated with male homosexuality and MSM. Looks like barrier methods aren’t as big a barrier to dudes’ porn enjoyment as we thought.The penetrating man on the right is the "top" and the receptive man on the left is the "bottom" in missionary position. Of gay men viewing anal sex, 64.4% preferred it condomless, 29.2% didn’t care, and 6.4% preferred condoms of gay men viewing vaginal sex, those numbers were 50.5%, 45.1%, and 4.3%. Of straight guys viewing vaginal sex, 65% liked it condomless, 31.7% didn’t care, and 3.3% safety-loving guys actually preferred condoms, with similar numbers for anal sex. (The pressure many gay men feel to perform "masculinity" to attract a partner is real.) As for the straight men into gay porn, Downing notes that substantial research reveals that it’s not uncommon for men who identify as heterosexual to be attracted to or even hook up with other men (a reminder that "never ever in a million years feeling an ounce of attraction for the same sex" is not a prerequisite for being, and identifying as, straight).Īnd when it comes to safe sex in porn, while the majority of guys do prefer their porn condom-free, a sizable minority don’t care one way or the other. " Research has shown that some gay men are attracted to or find heterosexual and masculine men more attractive," a preference Downing believes gay men to enjoy watching porn performers in straight sex scenes.

"Sexual attractions and behaviors are more than just identity," he tells. While the rate of straight men watching gay porn may seem unexpected to those outside of the research world, Downing says that his team wasn’t surprised.

Bi men, meanwhile, reported watching gay porn at a rate of 96% (nearly as much as the 98.3% of gay men who reported watching gay porn) and straight porn at a rate of 88.3% (a little lower than the 98.5% of straight men who reported watching straight porn). Downing, PhD surveyed 821 men about their porn-viewing habits, they found that 55% of gay men reported watching opposite-gender-oriented porn in the previous six months, while 21% of straight men reported watching same-sex porn in that time frame. Gay men watch men having sex with men, and straight men just want to see naked women, right? A study on gay, straight, and bi men’s porn preferences published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior is newly challenging this notion, as well as helping to answer the question of how men really feel about seeing condom use in their adult entertainment. A common belief about gender and porn is that while women of all sexual identities can get turned on by people of all genders, men only like to watch stuff that aligns with their stated orientation.
