Here is everything you need to know.

Elliot Page details his failed attempt to have s*x with a man

Elliot Page graphically opened up about his failed attempt to have s*x with a man in his new memoir Pageboy, which was released worldwide earlier this week.

Moreover, he revealed that he once went out with a classmate named Kenneth when he was studying at Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

In addition, he divulged that they would ‘fool around’ when he was around 16 years old with Kenneth ‘dry humping’ him which did not arouse him.

He began, ‘We’d fool around upstairs. I didn’t really like it but I didn’t mind it either.’

He continued, ‘The kissing, meh. The dry humping, alright. I would pretend to orgasm.’

Page then went on to explicitly share that he was unable to consummate the relationship with Kenneth.

He wrote, ‘”That whole ‘wet’ thing was not happening. We’d try and then stop, try and then stop, try and then stop, and then we stopped trying.’

He added, ‘Everyone was talking about ‘doing it’ and ‘hooking up’ and ‘virginity’… and I didn’t get it. Was everyone also pretending?’

Subsequently, he mentioned, ‘I avoided sex with guys and suppressed my real, unrequited crushes. My brain could not comprehend that I simply wasn’t interested.’

He said, ‘I just didn’t want to go through with it, which would be a completely appropriate feeling and response.’
