I agree that just about any sexual act can be degrading, depending on the attitude of the "active" partner. A while back, someone from, I think, Italy, was saying that where he lives, men have a low opinion of women who perform fellatio. Thus, one could say that fellatio is degrading there, based on the attitudes of such males.

Unless my partner thinks of anal sex as degrading, I never would, and it's a favorite sexual activity of mine...one of the more intimate that I can share w/him. However, I DO consider coming on a person's face as degrading, whether my partner thinks so or not. It's not something I care to participate in. I'd much prefer that he come in my mouth.
