A concept has emerged to describe queer individuals who don't fit into traditional top, bottom, or verse categories. These individuals, referred to as "sides," are not interested in anal sex. The term was popularized by sex and relationship therapist Joe Kort in a 2013 op-ed.

Kort noted that he encountered men who enjoyed various sexual practices, but not anal penetration. This group of men didn't identify as tops, bottoms, or verses, but rather as a distinct category. Further details about the concept of "sides" and its implications for queer individuals can be found in the original article.

The term has sparked discussion and provides a new way for people to relate to their sexualities.
