across the For You Page, as the bottoms hit back at the tops for branding them as 'messy’”. Virginia-based 19-year-old Issac remembers uploading one such video, in which he poked fun at bottoms while miming the line frombeing brutally cancelled
as TikTokers lined up to stitch his original clip — both tops with sincere advice on how to be kinder, and bottoms with messages of solidarity to one another. A few even took their anger to Issac’s DMs. “I had people saying ‘you’re never gonna find anyone with that kind of mindset’. I was scared,” he says. “I had never received that much hate.” Issac, who ironically is usually a bottom, had intended to be tongue-in-cheek with his now-deleted TikTok. He now shies away from making sex-related content, citing a lack of nuance among non-Gen Z audiences on the app.
Ultimately, what these videos are providing is the queer sex education so sorely lacking in schools; the popularity of TikToks about bottoming masking a sincere cry for better LGBTQ sex ed. For Callum, who grew up in the Scottish region of Fife, where he was “the only gay in the bloody village,” this was non-existent. “When you grow up talking about gay sex everyone just thinks it’s a willy up the bum,” he says. “But you can get hemorrhoids and shit. You need to prepare for that stuff.
Some creators argue that the increased volume of bottom-focussed content on TikTok is not a solution in and of itself.
