I’m a top from Canada. I heard many times from my friends the struggles and challenges of being a bottom and I have a lot of sympathy for all of you bottoms our there. Today, I’d like to share my perspective as a top. Unfortunately, today’s society has a tendency to encourage…

I think the issue is psychological. Excuse me for using some words, just know that I'm coming from a very non-judgmental point of view but I'll refrein from thinking about my choice of words to make writing easier. Most gay people go through a similar experience of struggling thr…

All the Tops are married to women and sometimes with kids. So they aren't gonna go to clubs or gocons

Being a bottom or a top is a sexual position preference. But being submissive and dominant is a different thing. I think the emotional "thing" the guy is blue is talking about has to do with him being submissive and wanting a dominant presence and that's why avoiding bottoms coz …

I think it's a little unhealthy to identify with our sex roles. But it's very easy to, and I did throughout most of my adult life. Speaking from personal experience; I was a bottom until a health issue arose in my late 30s and I kind of went through an identity crisis. I ascribed…

My experience as a top is that there is 1 top for every 10 bottoms or 20 bottoms. I tried bottom, but it did nothing for me. I would love to feel the pleasure true bottoms feel, but I don't. As I age, being a top gets more difficult, because I am doing all the work, because bo…

We should perhaps differentiate between top/bottom and dom/sub. One set is a sexual position and one set is a sexual expression. You could be any combo of these : for example, a dom bottom (“bossy bottom or power bottom”) or a sub top (top that lets the bottom tell him what to do…

I find it interesting to hear the "often being a bottom when you're young, becoming more generally a top when you get older" phenomenon still holds true for gay youth (I stopped being a Gay Youth decades ago) because although it was true for a lot of men of my generation, and gen…

Nice topic. I agree that being top or bottom is not just the sexual position, but often means something more about how the person seems himself and how he sees his partner. It can be about masculinity, dominance and submission, self esteem or body image, confidence and maturity…

You guys have interesting discussions. You frequently talk about things that I've not thought much about before. I'm glad your channel showed up in my feed. So if I'm just hooking-up, I'm 100% top. But if I'm in a relationship, I'm happy to be a bit more flexible - say 80%. But …
