What does Power Bottom mean?

A power bottom is a bottom who takes an active, energetic, and confident lead while receiving.

Also: PB

Power bottom describes a bottom who drives the action rather than lying back — setting pace, taking charge, and often having a lot of stamina. The role flips the assumption that bottoming is passive.

It is as much about attitude and energy as mechanics. A power bottom knows what they want and is direct about getting it, which many partners find a big turn-on.

Communication still matters. Confidence and enthusiasm work best alongside check-ins on comfort, pacing, and boundaries.

"Power bottom, I run the show."
