Can homosexual men be in a committed, healthy, and satisfying relationship without having anal sex?

My first thought was “I’m not touching this one with a barge pole” but then I thought about how that might sound 🤔

Seriously, I think only you can answer those questions. Is it ok for you? Have you been able to maintain a satisfying, healthy, happy relationship without it?

If so you really don’t need anyone else’s approval. You do you 👍

I guess that depends on you and your partner. If you both feel happy, where's the problem?

Perhaps you should make another question: "can you be in a committed, healthy, and satisfying relationship while regularly having anal sex?". If the answer is "no", well, there you have it. The remaining problem is to find a compatible partner (which is about the same problem hetero have in hetero couples, I can guarantee you that).

i'm curious as to why you would ask such a gay-specific question in a general forum.

being not gay, i can have no earthly idea how prevalent anal sex is, but expect like most other things, it is a matter of personal preference.

i like what the other person said - you do you, and leave the question of what others may do or prefer, to the side.

letting others know fairly up-front about your tastes in sexual practice might also be a good policy.

but also - try to be open-minded. technique counts for a lot in matters sexual. peace.

Sorry but that is some gross crap. Later!

I don't know

Have you gotten your driver's license yet?

I’m the wrong demographic, sorry.

Why shouldn't they?

Plenty of heterosexual couples do!

I'm not sure on the whole gay dating scene.

I know they ask each other if they're givers, receivers, or switch.

Receivers are seen as less manly given that they're someones bitch.
