While bottoms expressed a similar level of interest in giving external stimulation as they are in getting it, there was a distinct preference for receiving when it came to all penetration-related activities. (Note that scissoring / dry-humping was not included on the survey as it has no clear giving/receiving dynamics.) The penetration-related activities mentioned in the below graphic involve fingers and strap-ons because they were the acts most statistically numerous in our survey results, but of course other kinds of penetrative sex exist, including with toys or with penises when some amab transfeminine people or trans women are having queer sex, and are enjoyed by many bottoms of all kinds. We’ve included some of the most popular activities below. We asked survey-takers to indicate their passion for giving and receiving a variety of sexual acts, and also asked them to define what “bottom” means to them. Now that we know there’s literally no way to define any of those words in a way that speaks to everybody’s experiences, let’s try! “Bottom” and “submissive” as interchangeable concepts within kinky sex.“Bottom” as a concept relevant to kinky sex, distinct from “submissive”.“Bottom” as an identity relevant to non-kinky sex.Survey responses suggested that there are three distinct approaches to these terms from queer women, trans men and non-binary people: We’ll talk more about the history of these terms and lesbian sex discourse around top/bottom dynamics in a few weeks, but real quick: before queer women’s culture adopted top/bottom as terminology relevant to non-kinky sex, the terms were primarily used by gay men or in kink or BDSM contexts by both straight and LGBTQ+ people. Tops: 12% // Bottoms: 14.3% // Switch: 51.6% // None of the Above: 13.4% // I’m Not Sure: 8.9%Īlthough these terms/identities seem popular and ubiquitous, our survey revealed that people who identify specifically as tops or bottoms are in the minority overall.
