NL sex questions are like "If a train leaves the station at 3am at 70mph and a second train leaves at 4pm at 85mph but the second train is reverse cowgirling and the first train is choosing dinner, which train is dom and which train is bottom?"

for me it's the long list of "Yes."es as if anyone could be so confidently sure of the acutely specific questions. Chat is populated by the worldwide gay census department

There is an answer though. Power bottom and service top are a thing.

We're vers switch guys, of course we bottom from the top!

[@ghoulboss7848]

I’m at work but basically top ≠ dom, but top is by definition the one that penetrates. Someone saying the bottom can be the one that penetrates is just wrong. Top and Bottom are sexual positions. (Top: Giving. Bottom: Receiving) You can be a dom and still be penetrated (hence why we get the Power Bottom. Also Switch and Vers are the same thing don’t get it twisted. It can apply to both sexual practices and power dynamics.

[@simonpratt2891]

I agree with you except for the last part. I’ve only ever heard switch used in regard to power dynamics and vers used in regard to sexual positions

[@tb4076]

Ooooh, so it's not anything to do with relative position to one another? Like if someone was riding you cowboy/girl, then you'd obviously be the one penetrating, but you're still at the bottom, but you would still be considered topping?

[@weirdblackcat]

@@tb4076 if the rider is in control, they're the dom, but the rider can be the one motioning and still be a sub if they're being told what to do, for example.

[@TheRedHaze3]

Gotta be honest, not the biggest fan of applying BDSM terms to vanilla sex. Like, you're not a dom just because you're in control of the sex. You're a dom if you're practicing BDSM and the one who's dominant (tying up your partner, humiliating them, hurting them, etc). I would use the terms active and passive.

[@Ironpecker]

I'm so dumb I thought top literally meant on top, so like someone riding a dick while the other person is laying down would be "topping" them. Genuinely eye opening

Pride Month / Sexuality questions / NorthernLion After Dark (9:08 AM) supercut on the 30th pharaoh?

Nah so you see, if you got your sub driving you around that person is being your chauffeur basically, they gotta open and close your door, they gotta make sure you get somewhere on time to the specific destination and shit. Having the sub doing the driving isn't that weird since you're basically chilling as they do the work

[@moseyburns1614]

Bros curious

[@Random_Fanguy]

He’s gonna have so many questions for Apollo and Chiblee the next time they do Lethal.

[@kevinkevinholt]

I think what he doesn't understand is that subs are often very extroverted and assertive in their daily life (e.g. at work) so they crave the release of giving up control sexually. That doesn't mean they're a tradwife at home and Succession at work either though.

[@Drekromancer]

Well said. The fact that it's often a contradiction of their typical personality type is a wrinkle that is often missed at first glance. But I think he'd understand everything pretty well if he grasped that.
