Hadrian Temple

Unlike many of the authors who write about gay bdsm on Smashwords, Hadrian Temple is a gay leatherman who has been exploring kink for more than a decade. He writes about sex and relationships the way gay men actually have them (with a healthy dose of fantasy, of course). He writes from the perspective of a dominant because that's the role that appeals to him the most, and because so few other authors write from that perspective

The first time I meet a boy, I always do it at a coffeeshop. A public space like that is safer than just having a stranger come to your door. This way both I and the boy can check each other out and each can decide the other’s not a weirdo. And Carter had said what he wanted was actually just to talk. He was new to kink and found himself with a lot of questions. So I agreed to meet for coffee.

I make a point of getting there first. It allows me to feel a bit more in charge. Maybe it makes me feel like the coffeeshop is somehow my space. I know doms who intentionally show up late just to show they’re in charge. But that always feels rude to me. Usually I save the rudeness for when I’m alone with a boy.

So I had already found a table and settled in when Carter arrived. I told him to get himself something to drink, which gave me a chance to watch him for a little bit.

He was better-looking than his online profile suggested. The good-looking novices usually have a bunch of pictures of themselves on their profile. It’s good advertising. But not Carter. He just had one face pic, and it was a selfie in mediocre lighting that didn’t do him justice. He was Asian, maybe Chinese or Korean; I wasn’t sure. He was in his late 30s. He was short, maybe 5’8, so I had a good five inches on him. But he was in decent shape. He was wearing a tight black t-shirt and skinny jeans that made it clear he exercised regularly. Swimming, maybe? Not weights. He had a nice ass. I wondered if he’d started to exercise as a way to make up for being a smaller guy. I found myself thinking about using him. I knew he had a boyfriend of some sort, but I wasn’t sure how serious they were.

Carter came back with a cup of coffee and sat down. He smiled a little nervously. Sorry to make you wait, Sir. His nervousness was endearing. But then, a lot of novice subs are nervous when they first meet me. I’ve been told I look intimidating.

Don’t worry about it, boy. So what did you want to ask me?

He glanced anxiously at the next table, where two older men were lamenting the outcome of the recent election. It sounded like the political version of ‘kids these days.’ Um, well, I guess I’m wondering how you know if someone’s submissive or not.

I smiled. "Do you mean how do I know if someone is submissive, or how do you know if you’re submissive?"

That was a poor choice of words, I suppose. I guess I’m nervous. I’ve been thinking about this stuff…about kink, I mean…for a while, but I haven’t had a lot of opportunity to really explore it. He paused, looked thoughtful, and took a sip of coffee. I know I’m submissive. I’m not sure how far I’m submissive. Being a slave is intriguing, but it also seems sort of extreme. But I know I like the idea of serving someone and letting them being in charge. My parents were pretty strict and pushed me hard when I was growing up, so I guess that sort of got me used to the idea that I was supposed to follow rules and do as I was told. And I’ve always had a thing for older guys. He looked right at me as he said that, and then looked away nervously. I’m in my mid-40s with very self-and-pepper hair, so I get a lot of guys who are looking for a daddy. I’ve been lucky that way.

It sounds like you’ve got a pretty clear idea that you’re a sub. So why the question?

I don’t mean me, Sir. I mean my boyfriend. How can I tell if he’s actually a dom like he says he is or if he’s really a sub?

Ok, that was a new one on me. Explain.

I met him on the Prowlr app, Sir. My ex left me about a year ago, and I decided that I should explore these submissive urges I have, so I set up a profile. At first guys tended to ignore me. I get that a lot as an Asian. It’s the whole myth that we’re sexless. But eventually I started chatting with a guy—about the same time I started chatting with you, actually—who said he was interested in exploring his dominant side. We turned out to have a lot of interests in common, so we started exploring together. That was about four months ago.

So he’s a novice at kink?

No. He’s done a fair amount of subbing with different guys. He likes being flogged hard. But he says he knows he’s got a dominant side and wants to connect with it.

It sounds like you don’t really believe it.

Well, it’s hard to say, Sir. He’s tied me up several times, and that’s been nice, but it seems like his heart isn’t in it. He seems a million miles away when he’s doing it. He doesn’t really get hard. So he’s never… He broke off, glancing nervously at the guys sitting at the next table.

He’s never fucked you. The guys at the next table didn’t notice.

Carter blushed and nodded.

Is that something you want?

Well, yeah. I love… He looked over at the next table again and lowered his voice momentarily. …getting fucked. I’m a pretty big bottom. I have been since high school. So I miss that. He says he’s going to work on that. He looked unhappy.

Is that a medical thing with him?

He says his doctors want to run some tests. But it seems to me that it’s more psychological.

It sounds like your needs aren’t getting met.

"Not those needs. I enjoy spending time with him otherwise. I’m an engineer and he’s a chemist, so we have really good conversations about science and stuff like that. And we both like to cook. We both play console games. So when we’re together, we have a good time. I keep waiting for him to take more charge, but he’s so hesitant about it. But I mean, every relationship has things that need to be worked on. It would be foolish of me to expect everything
