Coffee Break by KL Joy

We received so many wonderful submissions for Dude #3 that we just couldn’t include everything we liked, but as always we’ll put extra stuff on this website and our Facebook page. This is one such piece – a story by Melbourne writer KL Joy who we invited to read at our launch last night.

Coffee Break

He stands beside me at the cafe, baseball cap pulled down low.

“And does your son want something too?” the waitress asks.

“My… ahem, ah, no, thanks,” I stumble and blush, tapping impatiently as we wait for the coffee to appear. He seems quiet, almost like he hadn’t heard the ‘son’ comment. As we head back to the car hand-in-hand, he lifts his cap to reveal the youthfulness that truly belies his age, still no facial hair apparent. He stops me and turns my face to his; his lips touch mine lightly, subtly at first, then with a hunger that always rises about 12 hours after his T shot! I nearly drop the cup of coffee.

“Let’s get out of here!”

It’s only a couple of blocks to his house, but we don’t make it. The car is parked in a secluded corner of the car park, next to a creek. It’s 5 pm and the afternoon traffic is building around us, like the tide of heat that is building between us. I lock the doors as he unzips his pants, pushing my hand down the front of his Bonds wide band trunks, I feel the bulge, the heat.

“No, not yet…” I say.

My coffee sits on the console between us the warm aroma mingles with the scent of sex, now heavy in the air. His long slender fingers, trail down the side of my cheek. He tries to entice me again.

“Would I do this to my mother?” he says with one eyebrow raised, his fingers continue along the side of my neck to the line of my top, pulling gently until my rising breasts are almost exposed. His mouth follows the line just trailed, and nips at the flesh. That’s enough to bring a groan from my throat that tells its own story.

“There are certainly no ‘motherly’ feelings here, my boy!” I hold my hand to his chest, firm muscles ripple below the palm of my hand and I recall the hours of gym work that go into sculpting his upper body.

Yes… he is my boy, my submissive, my lover, but he is certainly not my SON! I hold him at bay and make sure he knows that I am in control – not his T-shot, not his libido, but me. My will alone will let this happen… or not!

I push him back into the seat. Hat sitting akimbo, he is dishevelled and looking at me as though he wants to devour me. It takes all my self-control to smooth my hair, lift my cup and take a sip of the coffee. The need for caffeine now overrides the other sense of urgency that I waylaid, but only momentarily.

“Hands on your junk boy, I want to see you pleasure yourself. Remember the rules: you need to show me what you like!”

“Yes Ma’am!” Without a second thought, his hand slides his undies down over his slender hips. In seconds, he has his transcock in between his fingers and thumb, stroking it gently, pulling down and out. I watch sipping my coffee, enthralled at it grows,

“Hmmm I think you’re getting bigger there boy!”

“I’d hoped you’d notice that Ma’am, I am…” he said, a sense of pride shining behind his eyes. Fingers moved more swiftly, breath steaming up the windows, as much as the rising steam from the coffee I held. He was stroking, pulling, enjoying. I was watching his face – he was an open book, every touch a page turner.

“Do you want to come for me, boy?”

“Yes please, Ma’am,” begging, breath ragged, still stroking.

“You know what to do then,” I prompted, taking another sip of coffee.

“Please Ma’am, may I reward myself?” he begged looking at me with crystal blue eyes.

“You may.” Within a few short tugs, I saw the flush rise up his chest and cover his face, as he came for me, with me, alone.

KL Joy’s first book CatalystStories of Awakening is available through Hares & Hyenas or on online at kljoy.com. Her second book Desire: Stories of Secret Longing is due out in March 2013, and she also has a free story available through Storm Moon Press.

Got dirt?

Small communities can be fertile for drama. And the ethics of privacy and disclosure around relationships is complicated – further complicated by the politicised context of marginalised communities.

A few partners of trans guys have voiced concerns about submitting to DUDE when they know that the magazine will be circulated among their community. But sometimes the stories that are hardest to tell are the ones we most need to hear.

So for DUDE 3 we’re welcoming submissions of anonymous fragments – for little snapshots that would be difficult to develop into a whole article or story without giving too much away.

Some topics you might want to explore:

  • subcultural hierarchies
  • awkward sex stories
  • scene drama
  • political controversy
  • trans guys being jerks

Put “DUDE #3 SUBMISSION: FRAGMENT” into the subject line and email to DUDEmag.special(at)gmail.com

Remember you can send any type of submission anonymously or under a pseudonym, and we also take fiction submissions. Full submission guidelines here.

Dudes who look like YOU!

Don’t see yourself in this picture?

We’d really like to see a diversity of bodies, aesthetics, identities and opinions in DUDE.

We’d especially love to get more submissions from those who are often marginalised and underrepresented in trans media, such as people of colour, older people and people with disabilities. Submissions from Australia and New Zealand will be highly regarded, but submissions are open to everyone world wide.

Also we’re doing photo shoots in Melbourne this Saturday and in Sydney up to May 20. Get in contact asap if you’re interested in taking part:

Melbourne: James - james(at)junglejim(dot)com.au
Sydney: Teddy ateddycook(at)gmail.com

Submissions for DUDE.3 are open until 30 May 2012. Full submission guidelines here.

Lovers. Submission. Please.

Heya, this is Lia Incognita! I’m one of the three guest editors for DUDE 3: Lovers. DUDE is usually made by trans guys but for this issue we also welcome work produced by their lovers or others about sex and relationships. Submissions close at the end of May and we need more!

Who are you?

Well, I’m part of the anti-racist, anti-sexist queer performance trio, the Ladies of Colour Agency, so there’s my credentials for being a third of something. I also write for Asian-Australian arts and culture magazine, Peril, and (with Max Attitude) at queer hanky code blog flagging opinicus rampant, and I’ve been an associate editor at The Scavenger.

More generally, I’m stubborn, ambivalent, greedy and righteous as you might expect from a pansexual polyamorous agnostic switch type, mega lazy, mega ambitious (like finger in every pie but delivered to bed please) and a little bit bossy. Also I’m a cissexual woman but in print I prefer gender-neutral pronouns such as ey/em/eir.

What do you want?

Your submission! And I want it to be pithy, intimate, detailed and unique. I think the strongest submissions I’ve read so far have been the ones that have a small focus, fleshed out to fullness. Don’t try to represent all trans guys or lovers because the magazine gets repetitive quickly if the submissions are all general and abstract. I mean, you can go abstract, go deep into thoughts and feelings and ideologies, but anchor it in your experiences. You don’t need to be a writer. Just tell your own story – and not your whole life story but the meatiest parts. A remark that you mulled over for days. A glance that made your heartbeat boom. The aftershocks through your sense of self. Yeah?

Can you be more specific? 

Sure. I’ve been mostly looking at the text submissions, maybe Nyx can talk later about what we’d like to see in image submissions. We’d be interested in advice columns & how to guides, eg how to come out to your family about your partner transitioning. We’re taking letters to the editor on the previous issue too, and we might even take personals ads! (I’ll talk about that more later.) We’ll take fiction and erotica, as long as it also touches on some ideas and issues too. And of course you can submit anonymously or under a pseudonym.

Some suggested topics:

  • sex, especially in relation to changing bodies/identity, ‘gender dysphoria’
  • how transitioning affects or affected your relationship (positive/negative)
  • anxieties around a lover’s hormone use, surgery, body
  • peer and cultural pressures: passing, not passing, visibility
  • disclosure – yours / managing a partner’s
  • scene politics, whether queer, gay, lesbian, straight – hierarchies of who belongs, who’s the coolest
  • parenting / pregnancy
  • marriage
  • have you left a transitioning lover? We would really like to hear stories of transition break ups – what went wrong?
But we’re open to all submissions, not just on these topics. Feel free to run ideas by us, we’re happy to talk about your submission even if you haven’t yet written a draft. Email dudemag.special[at]gmail.com or chat to us on the Facebook event here. I’ll post more ideas and topics next week. Submission guidelines are here.
