      You joke, but going back to the ancient greeks that traditionally wasn’t seen as ‘gay’ or feminine, no. A top is dominant, therefore more masculine. A bottom is submissive, therefore feminine.

      Still a thing to this day.

      I’ll be honest, I’m glad I’m older, and less worried about that kind of shit and can just be me.

        I think the roman had it a bit different : the minion or whore would be active while the guy was laying down. They even had suspended ropes or poles so the sex slave could use it to properly do its job.

        I don’t remember what was bad for them, except for big penis being very shameful because too beasty.

        I find roman and Greek very funny, because although they were extremely misogynistic, they had it all reversed compared to us. :D

          Yeah, like they thought the Gauls were effeminate because Gaulish men… wore trousers and drank too much.

        I did very well when I visited Mexico for this reason. The amount of dudes just totally cool with topping was excessive. Guys who are, by their own cultural standards, completely straight hanging out of grindr. It was a glorious week.
