Being in a relationship sometimes requires compromise, vulnerability, and compassion, especially when coming to terms with the fact that you accidentally saw your boyfriend’s butthole. We spoke to five brave women in a safe and supportive setting about their harrowing encounters with the part of a man’s body no woman should ever have to think about. Here are their stories.
My guy and I were home one afternoon, and we were both unexpectedly horny at the same time. We dove into a spontaneous bout of 69ing. All was going well until I opened my eyes. That’s when I saw it: his butthole. We broke up later that week. I just couldn’t be with him knowing what the inside of his crack looked like. I miss him all the time. –Gilly, 31, Tampa, FL
My boyfriend and I were having sexy time in the shower when suddenly he slipped and fell right there in the tub — face first! I was so startled by the sight of his butthole that I immediately screamed and ran out of his apartment and all the way home. I never looked back to see if he was okay, but even if my boyfriend didn’t die that day in the shower, my innocence definitely did. –Isabel, 21, Amherst, MA
Picture this post-coital scene: Me: shocked. His butthole: waxed, bleached, and looking right at me while he bent over to throw out the condom. I was flooded with insecurities. Does my boyfriend love me as much as he loves his butthole? –Anne, 23, New York, NY
Lots of women cringe at the thought of seeing their boyfriend’s butthole, but as a woman who’s somehow only friends with guys, I’ve seen my fair share in the locker room. That being said, I probably shouldn’t have tried to give my boyfriend’s butthole a congenial fist bump when we were skinny-dipping—he really took it the wrong way! –Lisa, 26, Cleveland, OH
One morning, after morning sex, my fiancé realized he was late to work and quickly lunged out of bed. As he spread his legs apart to reach the floor, his butthole peeked out. I saw it and launched into a series of panic attacks. I’m medicated now, so things are getting better. –Diana, 39, San Diego, CA
I usually date a certain type of guy: tall, hairy, and beefy — the real lumberjack type. My current boyfriend is none of that, but after catching a glimpse of his butthole during our lovemaking: wow! The aesthetic I had come to expect in guys I date was DEFINITELY represented in my scrawny boyfriend’s muscular butthole. I guess you could say his butthole awakened me to him, sexually! –Marlene, 45, Pensacola FL
