Hey Kids!

Flip Over!
Dear Dick,
I’m a 26 year-old male from Tulsa who has been dating the same guy for almost 3 years. The relationship has had its ups and downs, but we have generally been a great couple. Since we first hooked-up (and yes, it was on a 1800GayLive line), I have been the top in the bedroom. He was a power-bottom. A great power bottom! Before, I was pretty versatile – but we both got into a habit and it seemed to work for us. Until recently…
About two months ago, my boyfriend informed me he wasn’t bottoming anymore. Ever again. It kind of came out of the blue. We had been having some issues over our careers and other matters, but nothing serious. He just kind of dropped it one night, and demanded I be the bottom. I complied. It was fine, like I said, I have no problem with being a bottom, top, or totally versatile.
I figured that this would fade and we would alternate or what, but he has kept adamant. He’s not a bad top, but I actually kind of miss the intimacy we had when I was the top. I don’t necessarily want to go back to always being the top – but I’d like it to be more fair. Every opportunity we have had to talk about this has ended in a fight – and one of us sleeping on the couch. He claims that I made him be a bottom for our entire relationship, and now it is my turn. This isn’t true. I used to ask him all the time to top me. I even begged! But, he always wanted to be the bottom. So….
I don’t know what to do. I don’t think I will break-up with him over it, but it is bothering me. I love him, and want to figure out our sexual dynamics, but I’m not getting very far. Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

First off Tulsa, God bless you for being versatile. So few of us left in the world.
Secondly, I don’t think the problem is sexual dynamics. You say that you were having problems, but don’t elaborate. Sometimes when the unspoken power in a relationship shifts, weird things happen. Maybe you are now making more money then your spouse, have more friends, look buffer, or whatever – and maybe your boy is feeling some resentment or anger or jealousy over this… Maybe him being a top isn’t about sexual preference, but a deeper issue. I’m no psychologist – but I’d say there is more to this then meets the cock.
My advice is to insist you guys talk about this…His refusal to discuss it seems indicative of a broader issue. You need to gently press, and maybe talk to a counselor (who unlike me) is an actual expert in these matters. Writing to some sleazy journalist at your favorite gay blog is an okay start – but actually addressing the problem, overcoming it, and moving on to being a happy couple is your goal. To do that – you need some communication and counsel. More then I can muster!
Now, on a dirty-side, I’m going to be in Tulsa in a few weeks…So if you to TOPS need a bottom boy, you know where to find me!
