It si used as nothing but a slur... why? It is a pejorative term that straight men use against other men to denigrate them. It si NO different than calling someone a faggot or a queer.

I've done it (the act in reference I mean...can I say that here?) so I guess I never thought of it as being different from calling someone a f-er or mo-f-er. I see your point though and thank you for the serious answer.

You rarely ever see a woman called a "Cocksucker." It's a slur aimed at men. It like not only being called a "Fag," but also being called the lowest kind of "Fag" because you get on your knees and take it. x(
I used to take a humorous approach as ask people what's so wrong about being a cocksucker. That would occassionally get a laugh, but mostly just blank looks, and it never stopped people from using the insult. Now I'm more blunt.
