The View From the Receiving End

Meet Max Levant. He wanted to have anal sex. His girlfriend, unfortunately, was reluctant. So he offered an oldie but goodie: the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. How could she resist? After a night of TV and wine, his girlfriend donned a strap-on and pegged him. It changed his life.

After it happened, I felt the same exciting relief I imagine a girl feels after losing her virginity on prom night. I never realized the incredible amount of bravery it takes to let someone inside you. It’s asking someone to stab you in the back, but lovingly. Masculine courage is throwing yourself headfirst into danger, like jumping out of a plane, but feminine courage is letting danger throw itself headfirst into YOU. It’s even more badass. I look at women like soldiers now, and older women as grizzled retired Generals that I wholeheartedly salute.

I also never realized how instantly bonding sex can be on the receiving end. I already felt close to her before we began our little experiment, but now I feel like she’s tattooed under my skin. Even though she was staying the night, I almost begged her to call me the next day.

So if your boyfriend doesn’t understand you, the next time he tries to give it to you, see how well he takes it. After years of formal and informal Women’s Studies courses, I feel like I’m just getting to know the opposite sex in a way I never could before.
