What does top mean?
In the gay and fetish scene, a “top” refers to the active part in sex – the person who penetrates during anal intercourse. It’s not just about the physical role, but often also about dynamics and mood: tops usually slip into a somewhat dominant, leading position, but can be just as gentle and caring (“gentle top”).
Features & facets
- Physical role: The top leads the rhythm – tempo, depth and intensity are in his hands.
- Personality: Some tops enjoy clear dominance, others prefer a balanced interaction in which they cautiously respond to the bottom’s wishes.
- Style: From dirty talk to a gentle whisper: communication is the be-all and end-all when it comes to building desire and trust with the other person.
