I am a man in my early 30s married to a man in his mid-50s. We have always been in an open relationship: we met at a sex party. When we met I was always a bottom and he a top. Over time, however, he has become obsessed with bottoming. He never penetrates me, even in a group, and has starting expressing jealousy about the tops that I attract. I feel he is throwing our life away in pursuit of a pipe dream and I long to get back the dominant top that I married – a role he is suited for physically. He has been looking at escort websites, which I find depressingly inevitable. How can I wake him up to reality?
‘Top burnout’ is ruining the marriage of two whores

The reply:
Top burnout is a fairly common occurrence and it can lead to a shift in a person’s power exchange preferences, usually temporarily. This is less likely to happen when partners switch, exchanging roles from time to time, but clearly that is not for you. It might be wise to relax about this and try to tolerate – even support – his period of exploration. In fact, dominance and submission are not so different; just polarised aspects of the same erotic style. So some tops frequently fantasise about bottoming but are not prepared to practise it – and vice versa. The top usually does most of the work: initiates, arranges the scene, toys and so on, so your husband may want a break from the responsibility. I can understand your disappointment and fear of losing your preferred sexual style, but people and relationships change and evolve over time so it would be best to talk patiently and lovingly with your husband – without reproaching or blaming him – about what he is feeling and the reasons for this change. You need to understand each other. Gently express your sadness about the potential loss you are facing. Then do your best to show that you love and support him.

A true top never burns out. He’s a latent bottom.

I don't necessarily want to get plowed, but I definitely find doing all the work tiresome. I find it a bit stressful to worry about whether the other person is satisfied and having to be responsible for everything from positions to timing of activites.

I kind of identify with the partner. No, I haven’t become interested in bottoming. I’m a top but sometimes I just don’t feel like fucking, I just want to get sucked and/or suck. Many men have a terrible reaction to that. (“That’s boring. It’s not real sex. Blah blah blah.”) But it seems (I know you’ll think I’m humblebragging but that’s honestly not my intent.) that once they see me hard it can only proceed one way from there regardless of what I want.

Isn't this the point of being in an open relationship? Let your erstwhile dom get his bottom jollies with someone else so he can find the strength to come home and fuck your tired ass one more day. Or if him tricking with other guys is just too upsetting for you, stop being so lazy and throw him a fuck once in awhile. Watch some porn to get some inspiration, toss back a martini or two, and roleplay for your husband if you have to. Do your damn wifely duty. When tops switch, they usually want the same thing they give, so it's not too hard to know how to take the reigns with them.

So not true. The bottom has to douche every time they have sex, which is a major hassle.
The older guy needs to be realistic about his bottoming prospects. Not many top want to fuck a middle-aged bottom. He apparently has a big dick, which means he can attract hot, younger bottoms. He should count his blessings and stop forcing an unrealistic sexual lifestyle.

Top burnout is real. My bottom is douched and pre lubed when we go to bed, I wake up at 6:30 and he's already had his bowel movement, showered, shaved, cleaned himself out if needed, and he's back in bed begging me to fuck him again, each session is typically 30-45 minutes. This goes on 5-6 days per week, I rarely get a day off.

It's the bottom who wrote to The Guardian about this, the submissive bottom with the dominant husband who is 25 years older.
