Topping Blues

This boy is a ....

[quote] "back in college a few years ago"

I'll never tire of DL humor!

If you are on antidepressants, some can hinder orgasm & cause erectile dysfunction.

R1 Well I've been with guys who are more dominant. Like they pin me to the bed when we made out and it always made me feel squeamish and uncomfortable. Also I have IBD, so my hole skin is very rough and tough despite never taking a dick. I have no flexibility and I get diarrhea every other day, so I really wouldn't make a good bottom.

R3 I was on antidepressents for 3 years, and even after a year off nothing has changed. I also started antidepressants at the time I lost my virginity, so this might be a me issue. I have no problem keeping an erection and cumming quickly while masturbating, but I have these issues during sex.

OP is clearly a latinx bottom. You need to lie down on the busiest freeway you can find.

R5 Terrible advice. He can stand up if he wants.

Another day, another lame EST.

OP is a gay Woody Allen.

That'll do it.

There's a pill that will help you stay hard.

Try Viagra. Sure it'll give you a massive migraine for hours, and you won't feel well for the next day, but you'll be able to stay pretty hard.

May I suggest trips to a gay psychologist? He'll understand and you won't be embarrassed.

If you can’t get hard or stay hard, you aren’t a “Top”, dearie.

R11 I get no migraine, it's like being fourteen again.

Totally opposite problem for me is I can’t bottom. I’ve practiced playing back there and I can get something up there but I don’t feel anything pleasurable. Just nothing. I had one experience in my life where I had someone stimulate me in a way that me understand what it’s supposed to feel like and understand why people bottom. I’ve not been able recreate that though and I’m jealous of guys who can hop on a dick like it’s nothing. Feel like I’m missing out. Topping is easy, and you can use Viagra for performance anxiety.

Stop pretending you are a top. You are not.

I'd recommend a few weeks at Cascade.

R15 if you were ever curious or longing to bottom again, I’ve heard excellent testimonials about the Aneros when it comes to learning prostate play and relaxing into it.

Viagra or (preferred) Cialis are not only for Erectile Dysfunction. Because of the increased blood flow they proved to the targeted region - they naturally increase sensitivity and pleasure from fucking. Or masturbating. Or bed humping. I'm not impotent but use them for marathon fuck sessions. Any cock can lose strength from A continuous thrusting motion. Sometimes fucking a too tight or too loose hole gives the wrong message to the DICK. Try Cialis and see how hard you get and stay with NO partner. It's a confidence builder. Headaches for some, stuffy nose for others or a delayed sore back are the common side effects. The blood flow has been rerouted. For many people no side effects or none worth giving up FUCKING for. Warning : No poppers on these drugs. Already enough vasodialation going on. Hence the headache etc.

Also, see a chiropractor or work on opening up your spine through other means, like yoga or stretching. The nerves can get compressed back there. Most important - Cardio.

I ONLY top and I ain't stopping. When my topping era is over, I am going to use my MITTS.

OP you literally don't have to do anal or penetrative sex at all. Perhaps it does nothing for you either way. Have you tried intercrural, or frot, or other side activities?

Same here OP. And Viagra gives me horrible congestion for 24+ hours. Thankfully I’m entering a zone where sex is less important to me - I’m tired of trying to fix it and I’m happy just wanking off. The porn type fantasies just ain’t gonna happen I’m afraid.

I love frot. So hot.

Frotting is for teenagers and perverts. You can frot your mattress.

FUCKING is what REAL gay MEN do. Datalounge has a lot of gloryhole type ugly/old incels. Fantasizing about touching bodies and never getting close.

OP sounds like the most bottomy bottom I've ever heard.

R20 "literally"

Good grief

I did some more looking, and I found something that really fits what I'm going through. It's called "Death Grip Syndrome". I'm going to try some of the suggestions in the article and hopefully it helps. I only masturbate once or twice a week, but maybe I have gotten too used to my own grip and it's strength. And to everyone who says I'm a bottom, if I was a bottom, I wouldn't have any shame about it. But one of my favorite feelings is when I see a man on a bed face down, ass up with his lubed up ass waiting for me. So I'm pretty sure I'm a top. Also I've done frotting, and it's hot for a while, especially as foreplay. But I can't imagine doing it longer than a minute or too.

Get a cock ring. Then use it.

Stop pretending you’re gay.

It will get better.

^^^not on Make Love in a Gay Style Monday!!!!!!

[quote] But you just can't fake being gay. You know, if you're gonna claim that you're gay, you're gonna have to make love in gay style, and most of these kids just aren’t gonna make it.

For those who get horrible side effects from Viagra, (like headaches, sinuses): you have to play with the dose to find just the right amount. Take a full pull and slice it in quarters: if it doesn't help you to get hard, then try the half; If you get an erection but also get a headache and/or sinuses, but that in half and try again. At some point, you'll find just the right amount that gives you the hardness you need without the side effects.

^^^ "cut", not "but"

I am presently 58 years old. When I tried Viagra for the first time many years ago, I took 1/2. I was walking around with a 3rd leg for two days, but my sinuses got stuffed up and I had a headache so bad I thought my head would explode off my body.

The next time I tried it, I just took a small bite. It worked extremely well without side effects.

These days, I find I have to splice the pill in quarters and take 3 of the 4 to get what I need without the side effects.

Hope this info helps.

There’s nothing more useless than a top with ED.

Any top man is in demand much longer than an OLD ASS bottom over 35. FACTS.

A bottom who hasn't found a partner by 28 years old - will always be alone.

OP have you tried edging before sex, to get in the zone? Or even edging over a longer term, just to practise staying hard?

[quote]A bottom who hasn't found a partner by 28 years old - will always be alone.

I was 31 when I met my partner, you ignorant cunt!

When you say marathon sessions on dick pills, how many times do you come? Typically.

R34 I have tried edging, but it doesn't really work. I think if I masturbate less and I use lube every time and maybe use a fleshjack instead of my hands, i'll get better. I'll try viagra as well as insurance if those methods don't work. IDK I feel bad having to use viagra at 24

R15 u hate bottoming and only want to top? Sweet! can I get ur number?

Something I always wanted to ask, but didn't know to whom: after taking viagra and then coming, does your dick continue hard?

R39 It remains fluffed more than normal, but not hard.

so do you continue to fuck after that? or do you wait until you get hard?

Oh wow

If you have a huge dong, OP, get caverjet. Don't waste big dong.

r15 one method that may prove easier is laying on your side, slightly on your stomach or possibly supported by pillow, one leg spread further than the other as if your body was in transition to rolling over onto your stomach while your top remains vertical leaning over your body.

You may also explore adaptive sexual positions for those with spinal injuries (really, disability as a whole.. but you'll find more graphic references and videos looking up sexual positions for spinal injuries)

in addition, there's a wide variety of sexual furniture and pillows that may also prove supportive.. and slings have gained popularity to this extent as well.

no one position works for everyone.

And some people just aren't built for anal.. there are ways to make it easier to grin and bear it but it often involves more prep work and time than a standard hookup allows. Most people don't want to invest either if there's no guarantee of getting laid or it being the immediate activity on the menu.

I had ChatGPT write a song called “Topping Blues”

Verse 1:

Well, he's a top in every way,

But he's got a problem that won't go away,

When he's with his man and they start to play,

He can't keep his erection without some self-betray.

Chorus:

Oh, he's a gay guy who's a top,

But he can't keep it up without a little pop,

He tries to hide it, but he can't stop,

He's got to jerk it off, to get back on top.

Verse 2:

He's tried everything, from pills to creams,

But nothing works, it's not what it seems,

He's embarrassed and he feels obscene,

It's not like the movies, where it's always a dream.

[CHORUS REPEATS]

Verse 3:

He's talked to doctors and his therapist too,

But they just tell him what he already knew,

That it's all in his head, and he's feeling blue,

He wishes he could just feel normal like me and you.

[CHORUS REPEATS]

Verse 4:

Now he's learned to accept it and be okay,

It doesn't define him, it's just the way,

He's found a partner who loves him anyway,

They make it work, and they don't need to play.

[CHORUS REPEATS]

You could also try testosterone injections, OP. I hear they work. Though you may also go off on someone unpredictably at work and stab them in the eye with a pencil.

If you don’t jerk off/cum for several days, topping will be much easier and you will eventually fight the right partner and rhythm so you can reach ejaculation through penetrative sex. The not jerking off/cumming for several days in order to build up your libido is the secret.

I agree with R47.

Are you circumcised? If so you might wanna look into foreskin restoration.

OP - You need a fluffier on standby.

Duct tape your dick to a thick carrot and go to town!

here's a question, a very drunk guy in his mid 50s, assuming he takes dick pill, can his dick still work when he's very drunk?

You are disassociated from intimacy. In short, you think too much about it. You don't have a physical issue since you can get an erection and perform somewhat. My guess would be you think too much about it while in it so to speak. You create so much anxiety you lose your erection. You also could be watching too much porn?

[Quote]Frotting is for teenagers and perverts. You can frot your mattress.

[Quote]FUCKING is what REAL gay MEN do. Datalounge has a lot of gloryhole type ugly/old incels. Fantasizing about touching bodies and never getting close.

Funny how all the "sex-positive" sluts get their panties in a twist when they're called out and "slut shamed" but have no problems shaming individuals who prefer other activities than anal.

Anal sex is gross. Just stop trying.

no seriously, i want to know. can your dick work if you're very, very drunk. esp if this is a man in his 50s, assuming he's on dick pills.

A "top" on anti-depressants.

What a dick wilter that is.

There's a type that's now recognised other than Top and bottom...it's called Side. (Think if the top, the bottom of a box and now the Side!!!! That's the thinking behind this). It means you're not into anal. I'd much rather kissing and lots of foreplay than f***ing. Maybe you are a SIDE.

what's the latest? any updates?

how long do you fuck before your hole is too lose?

OP, maybe you’re watching too much porn.

Butt sex is overrated. No thanks.

You are showing signs of desensitization to sex. Most likely you watch porn masturbate and come fairly fast. I would assume you also have a particular genre of porn you like you so fetishize those types of situations. It's pretty common actually. You can get turned on, you can get hard but lose "interest" or stimulation part of the way through. Your mind will wander, you wonder why you are not cumming like you do when you watch porn. You take yourself out of the moment. It sounds all psychological. Try this. No porn, no masturbateing for two weeks. Even if you have a steel hard borner begging to be stroked just say no. Same with Porn. If you have a partner or fuck buddy you plan to hook up with, start to fantasize about them in the two weeks. Put them center in all of your sexual thoughts but again don't masturbate. I guarantee you will be hard the full-time and cum more than you thought you ever could when you do finally hook up.

are you kidding? Anal sex is awesome!

OP, I think you’re a side.

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Here on DL, Dan Savage catches some flak, but he's the brains behind the catchy term "Death Grip Syndrome." If you go through his column's archives, you'll find that many guys have the same problem, and he offers good advice. Also, within the pointless bitchery on this thread, there's some solid advice too.
