For a long time now I've been browsing Nifty. As usual some stories are good and others are very poor. One thing that puts me off a story is language. And that leads me to a question:

"Why do some gay authors (usually in a domination situation) appear to feminise the domninated party with female descriptions of male anatomical parts?"

Examples: Anus is translated into "boy-pussy" (a particular loathed item of mine), "cunt" (how female can one get?).

Can anyone help me with the thinking behind this?
