However, the concept of top includes much more than just physical actions: it includes a whole set of attitudes, preferences, and sometimes emotional roles. In physical terms, the top in a gay sexual relationship is the partner performing the penetration.
This may include the use of both the penis and fingers during anal sex, sex toys, and other objects that are part of the sexual experience. From an emotional and psychological point of view, being the top can have different meanings for different people. One of the key aspects of being the top is open and clear communication with your partner. This, like all other sex roles, should be approached with respect, care, and a focus on mutual pleasure and safety.
However, the bottom role is much more multi-layered and includes physical, emotional and psychological dimensions that go beyond the immediate scope of intercourse. In physical terms, the bottom is the partner who has the role of receiver during anal sex. It can be sexual intercourse or any other form of sexual activity that involves anal stimulation. Bottoming requires a certain level of physical training and awareness, including understanding your own body and how to engage in sexual activity safely and comfortably.
Emotionally and psychologically, being a bottom can have many different meanings and experiences for different people. For some, it may mean a kind of vulnerability and openness that requires trusting and communicating with your partner. For others, it can be a more liberating and empowering role in which they are in control of their own pleasure and how they engage in the sexual act. The emotional and psychological dimensions of the passive role are highly personal and varied.
Unfortunately, there are many stigmas and misconceptions surrounding the answer in both the heterosexual and queer communities. It is important that we confront these stigmas and approach the understanding of sex roles with more care and respect. This role should be approached with respect and care, without any stereotypes or stigmas that can harm both the individual and the community as a whole.
