DOMINANT BOTTOM

A person who's dominant in a relationship & is the receiving partner. Those who identify as one are commonly engaged in BDSM relationships as d-types (i.g. master, owner, daddy) with submissive partner(s). Dominant bottoms are best paired with submissive tops & may tolerate switch tops. In a 24/7 power exchange, the submissive top is their ideal.

This term can be synonymous with power bottom, based on the person's view of their identity.

A misconception of this identity is believed bottoms are submissive (psychologically) by default - stems from ignorance. No person is identical - in their preferences, identity & sexuality. Top & dominant are separate (& vice versa) - here's how. Top / bottom is the role of giving or receiving. Dominant / submissive is the role of authority or compliance. These two spectrums can be mix-matched like pizza toppings.

MARK: What am I exactly? I enjoy being his bottom & having him do things for me, yet I’m the dominant in our relationship.

JEREMY: You’re a dominant bottom, Mark - & your top is submissive. You prefer being passive, ordering him around & he enjoys complying at your discretion.

MARK: What? I never thought of that.

JEREMY: Yep. Think of it as you’re the King sitting on the throne - & he’s your servant grooming you head to toe, running errands for you.
