General
bottom
What does bottom mean?
The Bottom is on the receiving end — taking the sensation, the restraint, the impact the Top delivers. Like Top, it's a physical role rather than a psychological one. Bottoming isn't the same as being submissive; a Bottom can be calling every shot while taking the action. Plenty of power lives at the bottom.
"I love bottoming for impact play, but I'm the one negotiating exactly how hard."
