What is a gay bottom?
What is bottom?
A person who prefers to be penetrated, rather than doing the penetration.
Definition
The opposite of a Top, in which the person receives the penetration from another. In many instances, there is objection to the term 'bottom' as that it implies a lesser role, or some other political correctness nonsense, so generally a bottom is now called 'passive'. During gay anal sex a gay bottom is the partner who is penetrated.
Bottom can also be used as a verb.
Again, being called passive does not imply a lack of activity, simply a term for being politically correct.
Note, in BDSM playing, a submissive does not mean a bottom, in the strictest sense. Nor does passive refer to a lack of activity. Mainly it means one who performs under command.
About
This is where a person plays the role or is the one who gives into providing the pleasures of the other, mainly considered to be the one who is penetrated during gay anal sex.
However, it can be where one submits to the other sexual needs of their partner, such as in BDSM sessions. This would then be the person receiving the various actions, such as being whipped, restrained, or following the other wishes of their partner.
There is no "right" position for a gay bottom to use during anal intercourse. Both the position during anal sex and the amount of motion is entirely up to the person and his partner. In some cases, a man who prefers to bottom will top with the right partner. Due to the location of the prostate gland in human males, being ass fucked can be quite pleasurable or even lead to orgasm or a bottom may masturbate himself or his cock may be stroked by his partner during sex.
Noteworthy: In BDSM, a bottom does not mean being the submissive. It can be the 'power' player, but who prefers being penetrated. In addition, they may prefer the authority it gives them, in commanding the penetration at their will, part of being the dominant player, or power player.
