"Side" - Being side and beyond convention


Submitted by shapeoflove Location: All India (All India, India)

It looks like position plays a vital role in the gay world. People generally define themselves as either top, bottom or versatile. Also, the versatile is further bifurcated into vers top and vers bottom. But in all these positions we can find one thing as common i.e. involvement of *** ***. But what about someone who isn't interested in *** *** at all? Do we have a name for that? Guess what? We have and it's called 'side'. So, people who don't know what side is then, here is a simple definition of this term:-

•A homosexual male who does not enjoy *** penetration (giving or receiving), but will engage in other forms of same *** activity (fellatio, frottage, mutual masturbation, etc).

Now, although i didn't know about this term untill very recently, i felt a sudden connection and familiarity the moment i learned about it. Also, i have a feeling that many other guys may also find this term equally familiar as i do. So, i really wanna know that how many of you guys knew about it and do you think that dating apps and sites should have an option of mentioning this term in our profile, just as we can mention top, bottom and versatile? Please share your views.

That's an easy word to name someone who's not into *** ***. In my experience, people call themselves side and don't even do or let anything to be done on them other than body play. There's no climax at all no dry humping/hj/bj. If u aren't ***(by whatever means) it's like washing ur hands mid meals. So, I think, we also should come up with a word for someone who just like body play.

I am very much "side". I was not aware of this classification/term for a very long time so it was little difficult to respond to top/bottom sorts of questions. Even now most people don't understand this term.

Many guys struggled to fit in top, or bottom category , and we're shamed by other's for not interested in *** penetration.

These guys faced widespread rejection and called out as not being "real" gay men.

Sides have always been a choice but the term wasn't popular until grindr recognized it.

Many men not just indian MEN still can't comprehend when someone isn't interested in ***.

Looking forward to the day "side" men are understood and not judged.

I agree @Roykhannaa it's a harsh.truth.

Starting as a "SIDE" is the best way for anyone who is curious.
