Is it just me who hates the term "Gay Sex"?

    As at the end of the day, sex is sex, the genders of the partners are irrelevant.

    It doesn't bother me but I agree that sex is just sex, but if you want to define a certain aspect then you need the adjective attached to it. Kind of like describing a certain brand of car. But that's just my opinion.

    Yeah it doesn't bother me per se but it is wrong to label it like that I mean its as silly as a couple of different race saying "lets have biracial sex" so its really not something to get upset over

    I think you're seeking a pejorative where there isn't any.

    I guess I'd have an issue with it if it was used in my direction. "Did you have gay sex with him?". :slight_smile:

    If it's used as an insult, or used in a negative way I'd have a problem with it, but it's really nothing to worry about. I mean, "gay sex" is technically anal sex, and I don't get pissed off when I hear straight people saying they tried anal lol.

    Sometimes it's redundant. Like saying two men had gay sex. Well they could hardly have straight sex.

    It has a history. In the 70s, there was a book called "The Joy of Sex". A few years later, another book came out called, "The Joy of Gay Sex". It was quite revolutionary- a book about what gay men did- physically and sexually- and it was sitting out in the open in shopping mall bookstores.

    I don't remember the term "gay sex" being commonly used before this. The terms used were usually more pejorative- like "sodomy" for example. So, "gay sex" was an improvement.

    These days- 35 years later- it does seem a bit dated, though.

    I don't really have a problem with it when it's used to describe sex between two men, or two women even. It IS annoying when people use "gay sex" as a synonym of anal sex.

    I don't see what the big deal is. Sex is a natural act of the human form, as is eating or sleeping.You don't hear people saying "Oh, god... did you eat dinner with her last night?"

    I would ask if there was a Joy of Bisexual Sex, but wouldn't that just be a 3-in-1 package of the series?

    I personally couldn't care less, except that I enjoy gay sex, but its reminds me of a quote about gay marriage and how its not gay lunch, or gay parking the car. perhaps begin to say things like heterosexual sex, say it slowly like its hard to understand :grin:

    I don't mind it. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Gay sex is nice.

    I can't really think of any instances in which "gay sex" would be used, honestly. Except to differentiate between straight sex and gay sex. I don't think most people say "Did you and him have gay sex?" I think most people would actually say "Did you and him have sex?" since it's redundant to say gay sex when it's implied.

    The term doesn't bother me but when you relate sex to love, then it's really very unsettling to me.

    yep - i prefer "sex" over "gay sex" too and don't find it offensive but just find it weird since sex is sex regardless to me...but it's hard for some people to understand, e.g. gay marriage issue.

    I really don't see anything wrong with it personally. Just another term to me.

    :roflmao: LOL

    I add to this accentuating the wrong syllables, using long vowel forms unnecessarily, and interrogative inflection.

    The way I see it, if you really like someone and want to please them then you are having sex period. I am not sure that at the moment of climax you are really thinking whether it is gay sex or not, it is just wonderful without a label.
