Anal Sex Preferred By Brooklyn Hipsters
filed under: Sex Hacks by Melissa Gira
This week’s New York magazine’s piece on how straight people are so totally into anal sex (again) is the most emailed story there so far this issue.
Though the CDC study cited doesn’t offer any hard numbers on female-insertive, male-receptive anal sex, anecdotally speaking, the sex smart folks interviewed report that the boys in Brooklyn are getting some hot strap-on, man-taking-it-up-the-ass, girl-on-top butt-fucking action… just not as far as the CDC knows about it. Says one of the undoubtedly trendy spectacled pegging fans who just can’t get enough:
“My wife is totally turned on by the idea of ‘having’ me, as that’s just not something women really get to do most of the time, and it’s not something that guys have usually had done to them. It really is a reversal in the most primal of ways,” explains newlywed Brooklynite Anthony.
And much like the guys interviewed in their other oft-emailed article this issue, on the rise of the “grup,” or yupster (yuppie hipsters who still strive for twentysomething cool, but on thirtysomething budgets), a happening boy offers up a nature/nurture theory to explain for the rise of this phenom:
Jim, a 27-year-old consultant, has been given the opportunity by willing partners but hasn’t taken the plunge. He agrees that it seems to be on the rise among his friends but wonders whether it’s “really a cultural shift or just something we ease into semi-contemporaneously as we age, like marriage or buying real estate or listening to jazz rap.”
Is anal sex the new settling down for the iPod generation? Like evolving musical tastes, is it just inevitable? Or is it just a big whatever, and are those wrapped up in how kinky it is just being so 2005 about sex, honestly? (And I bet they still think one of the guys in the band is actually named Franz Ferdinand, too.)
Until someone busts out with a white leather harness for all those boys, I’ll just let the Brooklyn boy from the paper say it again, and better, for me:
“I think anyone who doesn’t enjoy it or thinks they wouldn’t is hindered by their own hang-ups. It feels good, period. And breaking taboos is sexy. Variety is sexy. Being vulnerable is sexy.”
