Tom Ford, the famously outspoken 55-year-old designer and movie director, got really candid about sex, death, and parenting in the December issue of GQ magazine.
And in one of the interview’s more memorable and jaw-dropping moments, Ford explained why he thinks all men should be penetrated, and yes, he meant what you’re thinking, penetrated in the physical sense. Ford told GQ:
“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.
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.”
This isn’t a new idea for Ford. The “Nocturnal Animals” director in a 2004 interview with GQ also declared, “Every man should be f**ked at some point in his life’.
“You shouldn’t force yourself to do it. But it’s really not that different than having a than having a massage. It doesn’t feel that much different. It’s skin. You should do it with someone you like. Do it with a friend who you think is great. It’s very easy. It’s normal.”
Ford welcomed his 4-year-old son, Jack, with husband Richard Buckley in 2012.
Hmmm. Do you agree with that?
