Nice to see something focused on us tops ;-)
Here are some of my thoughts about what I like the most, but each fuck is different depending on the guy I'm fucking, the situation, etc...
1. Clean hole - yes. I like to eat a hole before I fuck it, and cleanliness is essential. And if I pull out and my dick is dirty, that's an automatic turn-off (for me personally, I know others on here would be into that) and I can't wait to get the bottom out of my apt so I can go shower.
2. Prefer to cum inside. I refuse to waste my load outside of a hole (mouth or ass, but prefer ass) unless it's the rare night that i jack myself off because I can't find anyone to fuck. Additionally, with certain men, I would swallow their load during or after the fuck instead of letting them jack off onto themselves. Also, I tend to be more of a dribbler than a shooter, so it's just easier to be inside a hole than to disappoint myself or the bottom without a "shot" on their face or wherever.
3. I don't like my holes too tight - I don't like having to fight to get in, nor do I want it so tight that I cum too quickly. That being said, I don't want it so loose that there's no friction either. Sometimes when I fuck a guy on a fuckbench or in a private room at a bathhouse, they're so loose and cummy that it gives me no friction and I can't cum (but mentally it's hot that they're slutty and cum-filled).
4. I like it to last as long as possible, but keep it intense without any "pull out" breaks. So, what I mean by this is, once I get inside someone, other than pulling out to change positions and getting back in, I don't want to have to take a break and pull out to prevent myself from cumming...I want to be inside him the whole time. This might mean slowing down or holding myself deep in him for a few seconds at a time to try to hold myself off from cumming, maybe lean down to make out with him to hold off, etc... This can be interesting, though. I've found with certain guys, their ass is just the right tightness/looseness, and the positioning is just right, etc... that I've fucked them so long that we're both covered in sweat by the time I unload in them. With others, I might only last 5 minutes or so. *shrug*
5. Poppers. I like taking a couple hits of poppers before I eat a nice hole. It just makes me that much more hungry for it. I also like taking a couple hits while I'm in a hole and fucking them. While fucking, the poppers will make me fuck that much harder/faster - which can either help me cum if the hole is loose/sloppy and I need an extra boost, or leads to an explosion deep in him as I pound away. Sometimes the poppers will make me deflate a little, though...other times they don't. *shrug* again lol
6. Threesomes/groups/bathhouses. I've found that in tag team threesomes, it usually ends after the two tops unload once in the bottom. So, in that case, I want it to last as long as possible and if I feel myself getting too close I'll pull out and let the other top take a turn. If the threeway was discussed in advance that the bottom wanted multiples from both tops, then I might not wait as long to give him the first load. Groups and bathhouses: I'll go around and try a few holes, with or without clean up in between, before I breed any. Then I may go back to the ones that I liked the best to unload in. Although if the ass is hot enough the first go-around, or the bathhouse isn't very busy or something, I may just let it go in the first fuck.
7. Multiple loads. In one of my ideal scenarios (fantasies?), a bottom would come over some evening and we'd fuck multiple times throughout the night with some making out and cuddling and chatting in between, and some sleep at some point...then fuck again in the morning before he leaves. That hasn't happened so far, unfortunately. There have been a couple guys that I've done 2-3 rounds with in one session, but it takes the right chemistry for that to happen (i.e. there have been a couple guys that have wanted multiples and I'm like, "sorry, I'm done for the night with that load I just gave you" even though I might fuck someone later, I just wasn't into multiples with the one). Only once or twice have I been able to go through the motions of cumming twice without pulling out or getting soft in between - it's more likely that I'll need to pull out, go soft, and then get hard again for multiples to happen.
8. You mentioned that you didn't want this post to be about the types of bottoms we fuck, but it does play a role in my enjoyment of the fuck and how it all goes down. A guy that I know is a cumslut whore will be a different fuck than a college undergrad who has only taken it a couple times. As a cub type myself, nailing a twink is different than slamming into a fellow cub/bear. I fuck all of those types, and enjoy all of them, but knowing who I'm getting into affects my mental preparation, whether I get into a more dom mood or not, and even the location/setup.
Thanks again for posting this topic, I'm sure I've missed some things that other tops might point out...if so, I'll add more later.
