Etymology 1

[edit]

    From Middle English side, from Old English sīde (“side, flank”), from Proto-Germanic *sīdǭ (“side, flank, edge, shore”), from Proto-Indo-European *sēy- (“to send, throw, drop, sow, deposit”). Cognate with Saterland Frisian Siede (“side”), West Frisian side (“side”), Dutch zijde, zij (“side”), German Low German Sied (“side”), German Seite (“side”), Danish and Norwegian side (“side”), Swedish sida (“side”).

    The LGBTQ slang sense was coined by sex therapist and author Joe Kort in 2010 and popularized in 2013.[1][2] The sense was coined by analogy with top and bottom and based on the metaphor of a box which has a top, bottom, and sides.[1][2]

        What about gay men who have never engaged in anal sex and never will, ever? ¶ I think they deserve a name of their own. I call them “sides.” ¶ Defining a Side ¶ Sides prefer to kiss, hug and engage in oral sex, rimming, mutual masturbation and rubbing up and down on each other, to name just a few of the sexual activities they enjoy. These men enjoy practically every sexual practice aside from anal penetration of any kind. They may have tried it, and even performed it for some time, before they became aware that for them, it was simply not erotic and wasn’t getting any more so. Some may even enjoy receiving or giving anal stimulation with a finger, but nothing beyond that.
