Nico Tortorella Says 'There's Nothing More Masculine Than Bottoming'

There will be absolutely no bottom-shaming in this household! That's the message The Walking Dead: World Beyond star and total heartthrob Nico Tortorella is trying to relay to the queer community when it comes to men who like to receive! 

In a recent interview for the November issue of the UK's Attitude Magazine, the genderfluid actor (who we know and love from TV series like Younger and Celebrity Drag Race) opened up about a bunch of different topics, the likes of which included their queerness, being in a poly marriage with their spouse (human rights activist Bethany C. Meyers), and even the many dynamics of sex — specifically the shame associated with men who like to bottom. 

"I think that’s just a problem with the a**hole in general, and deeming certain body parts as dirty or filthy," Nico, who has openly talked about being vers in the bedroom, told Attitude about why they think there is so much stigma associated with men who are bottoming during anal sex. (It's no secret that femmephobia is a big problem in the LGBTQ+ community, especially for a lot of queer men.) "I think that is a deep-rooted issue with the body in general, whether you’re male-bodied or female-bodied."

They continued: 

"But I think specifically for men to be put in this 'sub-position' is not masculine, when anyone who’s bottomed ever knows you need to man the f*** up to get the job done. So I don’t think there’s anything more masculine than bottoming, let's be honest."
