Feeling gross after having sex with your partner doesn't necessarily speak to your security as a homosexual. Sometimes sex just isn't for everyone. I don't feel gross after having sex with my husband (though I'm usually only doing it for him and not for myself), though I personally feel the experience of sex to be overrated.
Granted, our sex has never been that adventurous (I mean we're both in our 40s and out of shape), so I'd be willing to accept that has something to do with it. In the end, though, our intimate companionship has meant so much more to us than sex.
To me, the best novelty in the arena of sex is in making (or laughing at) dirty jokes.
I think this is the bold truth for at least half of all couples, straight or gay. A lot of people won't admit it but it's so true. When one is married for a long time, sex gets old. More valuable is the intimacy and companionship.
