Gossip maven Michael Musto has figured out what's wrong with New York City. It seems that no gay dudes like to get it in the rear any more. This week, he writes: "The weird news in gay land is that no one's a bottom anymore....Tragically enough, a whole generation of bottoms passed on some time ago, and then came a whole new generation that learned from day one that being a wide-end receiver is risky, so they've always been testy and squeamish about it." While it is true that Confessions of a Bareback Top has been notably quiet lately, a quick perusal of Craigslist and Manhunt suggests otherwise to this thesis. However! This week's Dan Savage indicates that getting popped in the butt is solely a heterosexual activity now. Typical. Straight people will co-opt anything. Even kinda embarrassing and maybe conceptually dubious gladiator-ey sex practices.

Isn't that what meth is for?
Any man wearing capri pants is a bottom. Carrying a Nate Berkus book? Bottom. Pinkie ring? Bottom.
"This week's Dan Savage indicates that getting popped in the butt is solely a heterosexual activity now."
Whew. I was getting worried for a while there.
Solely a heterosexual activity? Not around my house, it ain't.
Hello, sailor!
Wait. Michael Musto is a top?
Further evidence that Mystery is a bottom.
I swear I read something a few months ago (here, even, maybe?) that tops were hard to find in New York because nobody wanted to actually do any work while having sex?
@Cory: I found the link!
Who's On Top [nymag.com]
@Cory: Hello! Feminism?!
@josh speed:
would it be safe to say that holds true for a man that knows who Nate Berkus is?
I feel like Blue States Lose alone kind of pokes a hole, so to speak, in this theory.
Sucks to be him.
@fileunder: Oh meow, you!
I'm wondering who his sources are on this topic.
I used to know a pathological loon who sent celeb tips to Musto, and he printed them.
My Cock will be very disheartened by this news.
@josh speed: anyone who IS Nate Berkus is a bottom.
I think Michael Musto is missing the point: no one wants to go out back to split a cord of wood with him.
@ellagood: Touché, prety lady. :-)
@josh speed: Talks like a charmer, spells like a ree-tard.
The Fire Island conversations I'm not writing down:
- "I'm a top. Which means after an hour of foreplay and rubbing up against it you better have a condom ready."
- "House rules say no sex in the hot tub. But rules are meant to be broken."
- "I have coke dick. So fuck me."
- "I haven't been fucked in years. Gay years that is. As in, like, a week."
- "I usually don't get fucked, but that's such a nice cock."
etc.
(By the way, the concept of tops and bottoms is so pedestrian. Anyone claiming to be strictly one or the other is what I must say is one of limited ability and desire. Viva versatilité!)
Hmm... We seem to have a shortage of tops here in Salt Lake City. And that's not just me talking. Perhaps we should set up some kind of exchange program?
Nobody wants to bottom? Oh please. Every place I have lived has been like Valley of the Bottoms.
Oh, and I love guys who try to pretend they are not. "I will bottom for the right guy" means "I will bottom for you if you have a dick."
@bitchyenglishmajor:
The shortage of tops in Salt Lake City can be accounted for by the fact THAT IT'S SALT LAKE CITY.
@IBentMyWookie: Believe it or not, we are just behind San Francisco in gays per capita. I just think Mormons are used to being fucked in the ass, so when they divorce their wives and leave their kids, it just comes naturally.
Try living in Alabama.
Oh, puh-leez. It's all a front (so to speak).
@ellagood: My mother introduced me to Nate Berkus. And she's a power top.
Musto got it all wrong.
Maybe he's still riding his bicycle around town unaware that New Yorkers are bottoming for MTA sans lube.
Why are people gloating?
Michael Musto has alerted us to a crisis.
i am still trying to piece together the clip art with the subject matter. who are the rave kids and why are they upset about the decline of anal sex? are unicorns a plallic symbol? these kids look like they are going to a concert, not a gay orgy. or maybe it's the san diego pride parade!
It's because the Republicans stole all the Kinky Sex mojo. Everyone else is sort of forlorn and dejected.
omg i had to look up nate berkus too. hey gurl. im a bottom though. eeech.
