We sat down with straight porn star James Deen recently and talked about all kinds of things—including why so many straight guys have a problem with anything sexual involving their butt.

"Rimming is awesome—and I don’t see how it is ‘gay,’" declared the star of Rump Raiders 6. "If the desire is to have a member of the same sex lick your butt then I would say that would be ‘gay.’ However, I lick lady butts and have ladies lick my butt all the time. I don’t see where or how that can be misconstrued as [gay]."

Hey, we're as mystified as you, James.

He adds, "Am I missing something? Is it because buttholes are gay? Buttholes aren’t gay. Whoever said that needs to go pick up a copy of Everybody Poops."

Good idea.
