Oh wow thank you!
How nice! Thank you too!!
This is just factually not true, not for every man at least. Everyone is different, "to each his own" as you say.
Sexual arousal doesn't necessarily need an erection. Personally, when I eat a guy's ass, which is arguably my second favourite thing just after anal sex, I'm often not hard. And yet I'm totally horny and aroused.
You know, it's perfectly fine if you have a preference for bottoms who stay hard during penetration, and you found a husband who shares this with you.
Where you start sounding a bit like a cunt, though, is when you basically make bottoms feel wrong if they don't conform to your preference, by saying that their "pipes and wiring" are wrong. They're simply not a match for you, be kind to them.
Ok. A couple of things. First, I never insulted anyone in this thread, so I don't know why you have to start throwing the C word, which IMO is sexist and misogynist. Now having said that, my point about "piping and wiring" was an attempt to make an exception for those who suffer ED, not an attempt at demeaning the bottoms that don't get hard.
This is totally hypocritical, as I pointed out. No self-respecting bottom would be OK if the top didn't get hard, but somehow it is wrong for me to expect the same from the bottom? Whatever. The OP wanted top's opinions on this topic. I gave my opinion and I stand by it.
Also, one final correction. I pointed out earlier that my husband, being a total bottom, used to be of the same line of thinking. He too was like, "well, I don't have to be hard". We just reach a compromise: we have sex but if he gets soft, I try to get him back on it and if that doesn't work, I either pull out and JO or TBH, I keep going and finish off IF I am very far into it.
But as a preference? I 100% prefer to see a hard dick while I am fucking. I like to grab it and feel it in my hands or against my chest. Heck, sometimes I even suck it. I just love knowing fucking a man LOL IDK
Now, this type of thread is always interesting precisely because you get the other point of view. Many posts here are from bottoms saying they enjoy sex more if they are soft. As someone who has bottomed, I find that interesting because I remember I am the other way around: I HATED having sex when I was soft because it just felt like I needed to pee. I can't fathom anyone enjoying that sensation, but I guess for some that is what sex is about. Again, to each his own.
Lastly, the other side of this story is that perhaps, precisely because of my own experience as a bottom, I see going soft as a sign the top is being too forceful and sex is hurting. Also, getting pounded is an uncomfortable sensation when you are soft. There is no doubt that the male physiology is such that an erection accompanies sexual arousal. Now, if my husband or any guy told me, "you know, I just like to feel my prostate massaged and I can feel it better when soft", I had be OK with it. What I am not OK is someone just telling me "Hey, its all about you. I want you to fuck me. Forget about if I am soft or hard." THAT is a turn off. For me, as a top, I am 100% into pleasuring my partner. And for me, observing an erection is a good sign I am doing a good job. Again, to each his own. As someone who is "big" (not really, but definitely on the thicker side), I KNOW that when I penetrate a guy and he goes soft, it is because he is in pain. 90/100 times, that is the reason they go soft. So that also influences my view on this.
