nydailynews.com - Tom Ford has offered a unique way for men to better comprehend women.

The designer and filmmaker told GQ he believed all men should be sexually penetrated at least once in their lifetime back in 2004 — and more than 10 years later, he stands by those comments even though he claims to have been drunk when he first made them.

“I think it would help them understand women,” he told GQ this week. “It’s such a vulnerable position to be in, and it’s such a passive position to be in. And there’s such an invasion, in a way, that even if it’s consensual, it’s just very personal.

The “Nocturnal Animals” director said there’s more than just a physical connection, making it a challenge to explain to those who have never experienced it.

“I think there’s a psyche that happens because of it that makes you understand and appreciate what women go through their whole life, because it’s not just sexual, it’s a complete setup of the way the world works, that one sex has the ability to literally — and is expected to and is wanted to — but also there’s an invasion,” he said. “And I think that that’s something most men do not understand at all.”

During the original interview, Ford, in addition to being under the influence, also propositioned the heterosexual male writer.

“I was just trying to take the piss out of him,” he explained, adding he “read the article through his fingers when it came out, the whole time wondering, ‘Oh God, what was I thinking?’”

Ford, who is now sober, has been married to his husband Richard Buckley for two years. They’ve been together for about 30 years and share a 4-year-old son together named Jack. (Source)
