Positions

What does Bottom mean?

A bottom is the partner who takes the receptive role during anal sex.

Also: B, btm

Bottom refers to the receptive partner during penetration. Like top, it is a description of a preferred position rather than a statement about someone's character, gender expression, or confidence.

Bottoming well is a skill, and many bottoms take pride in comfort, preparation, and communication. Going slow, using plenty of lube, and speaking up about pacing all make the experience better. There is no rush and no single right way to do it.

A person's role can vary night to night and partner to partner. Identifying as a bottom does not lock anyone into anything, and consent for one act never implies consent for another.

"Bottom, prefer to travel."
