The Vulnerability of Penetration

I've just read and shared a very passionate but gentle essay on sex from a very sensitive man's point of view.

funny, when i clicked on the link i was expecting something else. I read an article a while back about the whole male doing it to the female thing and turning it on its head. It suggested thinking in terms like the woman'enfolding'the male, for example and the vunerability in the male surrendering to the female, her extracting his spunk and his role in the whole reproductive process being over. I suppose the man should be thankful that he gets to live after coitus and doesn't become a nutritious snack once his job is done like in some species. ;)

I am pleased to say that I have well and truly experienced this sort of lovemaking in the past and consider it a beautiful thing. That complete feeling of trust and completeness makes for an unforgettable experience.

This is one of the reasons why I enjoy m/m slash so much - even though I've never been with a guy and probably never will. There's something about having the male take on that role that's incredibly touching <3
