15 things only bottoms understand
There are things in this world you could never understand until you've bottomed!

There are things in this world that you can never understand until you've had a penis inside of your anus. Lucky for us gay/bi men, there are quite a number of us who know exactly how that feels. Here are 15 things only bottoms understand. (And if you wanna know the struggle tops go through, head over here.)
1. Prostate stimulation

Let's start with the best part of anal play: prostate stimulation. The attempt to describe the sensation is utterly useless. The feeling is truly ineffable. It's heavenly. Euphoric. Unlike any other bodily sensation we've ever experienced. Thank the gods for gently tucking that almond-size gland 3 inches inside of our behinds.
2. The inability to find a top

Bottoms are a dime a dozen. It seems like every gay guy out there is a bottom, and when you think you've met someone who's definitely a top... nope! He too is a bottom. Just a very masculine bottom.
3. The inability to walk straight after a good romp

It's quite the feeling, being unable to walk straight after being pounded. Your gait is off as you awkwardly limp more to one side.
4. Hair removal (down there)

Not all of us do it, but the ones who do know exactly what I'm talking about. It's an interesting experience, to say the least.
5. The divine sensation of someone finishing inside of you

YASSSS. When the man you love finishes inside you, there is nothing better in this world.
6. The extensive cleaning process

We each have our own method that we swear by: the soapy finger, a douche, Imodium, etc. But no matter how we clean, it's always a process. And if you're like me, 25 minutes after you clean, you always have to poop, and it's a pain in the freakin' ass. (Not the good kind.)
7. That pain to pleasure transition

It's such a quick transition, the pain to pleasure switch. Where it goes from you being too tight and it hurting, to you being just right and his penis feeling amazing.
8. The heavenly sensation of ejaculating with someone inside you

It feels amazing when he finishes while he's inside you, but it's also incredible when you finish while he's inside you. Your ejacuations feel stronger and more intense when you finish with someone inside of you.
9. Anal fissures

Yeah, not something that tops really have to worry about. Bottoms, on the other hand, we get them quite often. Here are some tips to help you get rid of those pesky anal fissures if you're having trouble.
10. Worrying about if you’re clean

Even after you clean extensively, you know that having a guy poke around down there might stir things up. And if we get too into our heads, we can't enjoy the sex because we're too concerned about our own cleanliness.
11. Worrying about what to eat

Your date suggests an Indian restaurant that he claims you will love. NOPE. Definitely not doing that. Thai? Absolutely not. Tops don't have to worry about what they're having for dinner on a date. Bottoms on the other hand? Yes, we need to plan accordingly.
12. The quad and glute soreness

The struggle is real. I'm of the belief that you can skip leg day if you really worked your glutes and quads during sex.
13. The frustration that comes with a premature ejaculator

I know, I know. It's not the end of the world. You can also have him go a second time, but sometimes, when you really want to get pounded for awhile and he orgasms very quickly, it can be a bit of a downer.
14. When you embrace your inner pornstar while riding him

A switch goes off in your mind, and you turn from an unassuming, suit-wearing businessman, to a sexy AF pornstar. You start riding him like the beast you are.
15. That freshly f*cked euphoria

All of those post-coital hormones flowing in your brain (i.e. dopamine and oxytocin). All of the hormones that make you feel SO. DAMN. GOOD.
