From Top to Bottom

By Kevin Klehr

Can a dedicated top really learn to bottom? Tony wants to find out but he’s scared another die-hard top will just plow through him, instead of taking it nice and slow on a newbie.

Enter Butch, a bear who’ll try anything, and Ford, a guy whose curiosity is tempting him to cheat on his boyfriend. Like Tony, both are dedicated tops wanting to try something new, and on this journey of physical self-discovery, all will find that being open means more than taking it doggie-style.

About the Author

Chapter One

It’s just another way to feel cock.

They were seven simple words, but little did I know this straight forward confession would be my undoing. Okay, perhaps I’m being melodramatic, but hearing this from the lips of the guy I was boning at the time took my mind completely off what I was doing. And when you’re choc-a-block up a gorgeous piece of ass, it doesn’t pay to have your mind wander.

Moments before, I’d asked him, What’s so great about being fucked?

With a grin that didn’t need an explanation, he replied, It’s just another way to feel cock.

So I was grinding, and thinking, yeah, I love sucking cock. It’s great. And most tops I know love the taste of salty pre-cum rolling on their tongue, while licking a length of prime manhood. So why do we usually abstain from riding the shift-stick?

Is something wrong? my knob jockey asked. You seem preoccupied. Boyfriend problems?

No. I don’t have a boyfriend.

Then, what is it?

I plunged harder and deeper, rather than giving an answer. But afterward, he was determined to talk about what was on my mind. So we did. And that conversation left me curious.

I even brought up my musings with my dad. I know what you’re thinking. Why am I even talking about this with my dad? It’s just the relationship we have.

Tony! he exclaimed over the phone. You should be concerned with getting full-time work and buying your own place, not turning into a Nancy-boy.

Dad, it’s not seen like that in the gay world. And hey, I have a job.

"Yeah, a coast along job. You need a career. Something full-time. You’re twenty-nine, and you don’t own your own place."

This was Dad’s broken record mode. He lectured me about up and coming suburbs that were still not hitting the heights of unaffordability, and that he’d gladly lend me several thousand to make the banks happy.

I replied, Yeah, yeah, I’ll consider it.

And then he asked, So, Tony, are you going to start wearing dresses and miming to Shirley Bassey?

I’d probably do Beyoncé. Better songs.

My son’s getting girly.

No I’m not, Dad. There are lots of butch guys who bottom.

Bottom? That’s what you call it? Slight sigh from the other end of the line. Tony, I’m proud of my gay son. Billy at work has a gay son too, but his son has a nice man and a nice house. You’re still running around finding yourself.

Dad, I’m just being experimental. You always told us to try new things.

Yeah, but I always think of you as the ‘man’ in bed. I don’t like to think of other men pounding my son.

And what about Billy’s son and his man? You don’t think they swap? There was silence. What’s the matter, Dad?

"You know, I’ve never thought about it. I just thought Billy’s son was the man in bed."

Have you met him?

I’ve seen pictures. He has a tattoo.

That means nothing. He might take it like a trooper, or he and his mate might share the love around.

I’m leaving this conversation. Just be safe, Tony. Don’t damage yourself.

Thanks, Dad.

I want to get one thing straight. Whenever I didn’t mention my sex life to my father, he’d ask. And if I skirted around the topic, he’d still want details before ending our chat with be safe. He was being a good parent, making sure he was part of my life, and as my life was mostly about sex, he wanted to make sure we weren’t a father and son who couldn’t talk about things openly and honestly.

After all, my jeans did rise and fall more times than an office elevator. That’s why I choose to live
