Are you an ass man?

So I have been seeing someone recently. He told me on day one, he doesn't enjoy anal activity. At the time, I just thought he meant he doesn't like to be penatrated. Tops usually don't, so I was fine with that. But it turns out he doesn't like butt activity at ALL. He doesn't even want me to touch it. For me, it doesn't matter who I'm with, top, bottom, man,or woman. I like ass. I like to touch it, squeeze it, slap it, grab it, grope it, lick it, stick it, and eat it. So when I'm with him I'm using a lot of energy concentrating on not going near that area. I find this rather limiting, not to mention boring. I'm not saying this is a deal breaker, but the whole point of exploration is to NOT limit yourself. I really like him, and i dont wanna overreact, but im realizing this may not work.
