Tom Ford Believes All Men Should Be Penetrated At Least Once In Their Lives, Here Is Why

Ten years after he first made the assertion in an interview with GQ Magazine that every man deserves to be penetrated (sexually) at least once in their lifetime, celebrated designer and film maker, Tom Ford is still standing by his words.

Explaining why in a new interview with the publication, the 55-year-old said the act will help men to better understand and appreciate women.

In his words: “I think it would help them understand women. It’s such a vulnerable position to be in, and it’s such a passive position to be in. And there’s such an invasion, in a way, that even if it’s consensual, it’s just very personal. And I think there’s a psyche that happens because of it that makes you understand and appreciate what women go through their whole life, because it’s not just sexual, it’s a complete setup of the way the world works, that one sex has the ability to literally—and is expected to and is wanted to—but also there’s an invasion. And I think that that’s something most men do not understand at all.”

And in case you were wondering, Ford is talking from a place of immense experience. He has been with his husband, Richard Buckley for 30 years (legally married for 2 years).
