From Top to Bottom


I hope this topic will not turn people off because it turns me on. What makes a person a top or a bottom? This came up yesterday morning at brunch. Someone asked the waiter, if he was a top or a bottom, and he said it depends on who was asking. All of this conversation was in Spanish, Shaniqua translated for me. That exchange got us to talking about preference. Some people thought top/bottom came from your first experience. I remember my first expressed, and I know that is not true.

After some thought and some calls to friends in New York, I am even more confused. My New York friends liken begin versatile to being bisexual, it can't happen. They believe you are one or the other. I don't think that is true either. I have enjoyed both experiences, with equal pleasure. I looked through some old files and found a piece I wrote last year. I think it is perfect for this topic. Give me your opinion. The picture is my bum on the beach in Costa Rica.

On the Bottom

I need to feel you inside of me.

I need to feel your hard manhood probing my insides.

I need to move to the rhythm that is US.

I need to feel my muscles tighten around you as we move to the beat, the pulsating beat, of you, of me, of us doing it.

I need to look up at you, as you fuck me, as this is what we are doing…FUCKING.

Long, hard thrusts, as you enter me.

I see the sweat glisten on your forehead, I smell the sweat on your chest, I feel the sweat that covers you.

I see you lick your lips, as you wink at me and smile. You come closer to me and we are face to face, and we kiss.

While you are penetrating me with your hardness you kiss me and I am totally in ecstasy. I love the way you taste, like a chocolate dream

As I move my hands across your back and pull you closer using my legs, I feel you thrusting harder and harder, which lets me know my MAN, my boo, is about to UNLOAD.

You buck and dig deeper into my love canal and you start moaning and I look into your eyes, your beautiful eyes, and you release.

You kiss and hold me.

You then put your head next to my face and whisper, “all that I am, is because of you,.”

“I love you, papi,” I say.

    Is this your first time with another black man or man of color?

     
  • At 3:34 PM, Blogger The Byron said…

    Gosh, no! I have been around the block a few times. I have made the rounds in Washington Heights, Harlem, and Brooklyn. I don;'t discriminate.

    What is the reference to tired old Tuskegee Airmen? I've seen you post that before on another site. What do you have against such an honorable part of the American armed services? What have you ever contributed to society?

    And what is a shandy queen?

     
  • At 7:59 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    In Canada, a shandy is a beer and ginger-ale (also known as a shandy-gaff), but I don't think he was referring to that.

    LOL,
    Well Mario should talk because when it comes to being a Shady Queen...Humm Nuff said!

    No shade!

    SONNET TO THE ARSEHOLE
    by Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud

    Dark and wrinkling like a purpled pink
    I humbly pant in moss still damp with love
    that followed the soft slope to where the buttocks clove
    - white buttocks leading to the puckered eyelet's brink.

    Filaments have wept like tears of milk
    in the cruel south wind which has driven them back
    through clots of red marl, to be lost along the track
    where the slope called them with surfaces of silk.

    My dream has often kissed this enchanted orifice:
    my soul, jealous of carnal intercourse,
    has made this its tear-bottle and its nest of sobs.

    It is the fig of teasing ecstasy for the flute that calls,
    for the tube from which the heavenly praline falls:
    feminine Canaan that dew anoints and orbs.

    from Tide and Undertow: a book of translations by Anthony Weir, 1975

    Mario:

    What kind of bullshit is that last comment?

    Explain, or be sunk by it.

     
  • At 8:20 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    I think MS brings a lot of the drama on to himself

     
  • At 10:03 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    How very perceptive of you, Mario. Of course he doesn't know you. 99.9% of the readers of this blog don't know you. But because you choose to post so much, maybe you should answer his question. Then maybe we all CAN get to know you.

     
  • At 1:10 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Mario:

    You throw a lot of stuff out there. when challenged about what you write, you dummy up.

    Why not answer some of the questions posed to you in this comment section? Two come to mind; the comment about the Tuskegee Airmen and the Living in DC as cause for your being shady. These are both provocative statements.

     
  • At 1:21 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Mario why do you have the need to comment and give advice on everything? You are all over the Monaga Blog and now here you are all over this one. Why don't you start your own blog so that we are not interrupted with your off the wall nonsense .What makes you think that you are an authority on anything. Have you heard the old saying "the empty wagon makes the most noise"?

     
  • At 3:39 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Hmmmm? Sounds like everyone knows that MS is shady. Hmmm? I live in DC without being shady and I'm sure others get along in DC without being shady. "I'm not proud of it" sounds just the opposite to me. MS - are "You" proud to be known so infamously? I agree with the reader that suggested that you start your own and leave Byron's alone.

     
  • At 3:43 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    ROTFLOL at the Reader who posted "The empty wagon makes the most noise" Byron - Here is another descriptive writer like yourself. His choice of words could not have been more appropriate. :)

     
  • At 4:07 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Hello Readers.. I have done my research and it is all clear to me now. The reason MS is all over the Byron and Monaga blogs is because he has two of his own and no one has made a comment on either. Hmmmm? He has content so repulsive on one of them and as you view it, You like I will have greater insight on why he (Mario) would degrade such treasurable piece of African American history like the great Airmen. I don't think the elevator goes to the top. Somewhat like that empty wagon making the most noise.

     
  • At 5:34 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Note that Mario STILL hasn't answered the two questions. What does that tell you?

     
  • At 5:57 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Mario:

    You took the benefit of doubt away with that Tuskegee Airmen explanation. From what I understand, you may soon be on SSI yourself.

    It's also apparent that you enjoy this blog style gang bang- everyone pile on Mario!

    You really should start up your own blog. Yes, yes, yes, i've seen mariosessions.com and santodomingodirect.com. What's the point?

    I agree, the elevator definitely does not go to the top. But i also like; Not the sharpest knife in the drawer; Thick as two short planks and last but not least; the lights are on but nobody's home.

    See you this weekend, Mario.

    Mario Sessions said... "Byron you dont have answer those tired Tuskegee Air Men shady questions.""Yes im very shady everyone knows that""you dont have to read or comment on this blog""Get a blog account and play with the big boys""someone thats older but don't act their age"" I have a life outside of this computer"."I have a flight to catch." Now lets just look at these comments and maybe we can find out who Mario really is.It appears to me that he is very controling and way ouy of line,is Mario a co-sponsor of this blog? Who are the big boys?Mario how old are you?Mario has a life outside of his computer could anyone tell?He has a flight to catch does anyone care? Byron are you and Mario even friends and if so how long have you known each other? I think that Mario's most appropriate statement is "Oh I forgot you can't teach an old monster new tricks".

     
  • At 7:35 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    What's all this evilness with Mario Sessions? I don't know the man, but give it a break already! Anyway, that's a nice pic of your butt, Byron. When I first saw it, I said, "Hmmm...that looks good. Smooth, brown, and easy to spread..." But the bubble burst when I read it was YOU! After all, I do consider you a friend and friends don't do stuff with friends, do they? I hope to be in SD in August. Maybe we'll run into each other. Take care!

    Byron you are quiet the poet; so descriptive, I love your writing and hope to read more. I'm glad that I was introduced to your blogsite.

    Mario, will you please stop wasting your energy on others' negativity. I will tell you like I told Byron, let your supporters be your foundation. Give us some of that sassy energy!!! And yes!!! You need to share with us through your blog. You were one of the first that got me interested in the DR, and I know you have a lot of good stuff to share (including pics). Some of us are anxiously waiting!!! I have met you twice and you were always polite. My good friend that works at the Mill always had a good word about ya also. Do like Byron, and don't let nightly clouds hide your constellation. Shine negro, shine!!! Give us some thoughts in that blog of yours too.

    Thanks guys, for the comments. Rafel, I will see you in August. Beso.

    anywaaaay.... para contestar tu pregunta..

    had i been that waiter (and also single, neither of which i am at the present), i probably would have said the same thing, because at the end of the day,

    i totally agree with mario's first post (before the anonymous people got silly) because, personally, i can't understand why anyone would *not* be versatile. if you are a "top" or "total top" or whatever, why aren't you with women?

    as far as bottoms go... you were born with a dick -- USE IT.

    what i normally say to peeps when they ask me if i'm top or bottom is that in theory i'm 50-50 but in practice i'm 90% top.

    when i was living in dc (and i agree with mario on THAT, too), i noticed that being shady was an occupational necessity because there were so many people out there who were just not serious. not to mention all of the silly queens.

    but additionally, there were just a lot of people who, for some reason, were committing the REAL crime against nature (having ten inches of dick and being a bottom. awww hell nawww.) yeah, i fucked them anyway, but shit, that mess ain't right. you a man, use your tool or go off and get it chopped off.

    all that said.... i don't know why people think the way they do about such things. i mean, in most of the places i lived, where there were dudes doing it on the sly, everyone was vers because, for lack of a better word, it was the polite thing to do. i mean, you are living in some repressive environment and you know you want some dick up in you ok, get the dick, fine, now flip the guy over and give him some of the dick that he wants. plain and simple.

    .......

    hey, byron, give my regards to anthony. tell him that robert said hi and that i'm living in cape town now -- dakar didn't work out, and it doesn't look like fortaleza is going to happen.

    one.
