"I've been accused of it a few times. I don't realise I'm doing it and in a kink situation what follows can be fun! I think I caught myself doing it at work the other day with a new boss, leading her to quicken simple decisions that she was taking her time over! Can you too from the bottom in real life?" *top | |||

Depends on how you want to assign the roles, in real life if you feel you're the bottom in a situation and want the person (in this case taking a top role) a shove, then yes! | |||

"What is it and can you give it examples of it? How do tell the difference between someone letting you know want they like and topping from the bottom? It's very much what it sounds like, if a sub is giving you a list of "do this, like that, then I want this, using that" etc etc that's topping from the bottom. It can be a good way to introduce someone that's new to being in the "top" role etc etc It's also very open to interpretation, so what one person might considered helpful because they are learning, might annoy a more experienced person. Hope that helps?" I've been accused of this for just pointing out what I like but people aren't mind readers so surely if you don't say they won't know? Some tops/Doms can get really arsey about it. | |||

"So if you were having sex, you're on top and you place the guys hands on your boobs to signal you want boob/nipple play is that topping from the bottom..... I mean technically you're on top. Humour me! Posted this thread for others to see the responses as it's come up a few times lately. " Kind of, I don’t think something as small as that would be topping from the bottom for me but if it was something more like engineering the situation themselves or asking to be topped in a particular way | |||

Hope that helps?" It can also be mistakingly confused with being a brat by some, but in effect as said above it is where the bottom leads on what happens to them instead of it being the tops decision. More often than not its so the bottom ensures they get what they want, instead of it being educational. Think of where you may get a DM asking you to beat, hit, whip, abuse, use, torment a sub... but at no point have they expressed what it is that they bring to the table and what you as the top get out of it (i.e.: you are treated as a fetish dispenser). | |||

"If a submissive doesn't do exactly as they are told would it be right for the dom to call them a brat. Just throwing this one in for good measure.

"It's when someone wants to be in complete control of a scene when claiming they're submitting. It often comes about through confusion about what submission actually is and people believing that enjoying certain acts makes them submissive when this isn't true. So someone might enjoy masochism or pegging or bondage and assume that makes them submissive but then when they want to be in total control of the situation, it can be frustrating for a Dominant partner. For the record, there's nothing actually wrong with wanting to have complete control when being on the receiving end of these activities, it just isn't submission so they need to find better words negotiate what they want in order to find more compatible partners. In my experience, a lot of men who call themselves submissive fall into this box. They approach Dominant/Switch women with a whole, prescripted version of exactly what they want with no room for the woman to have any input. We're just there to fill a role in a fantasy they've already created. I'm sure there's people out there who would enjoy that situation but personally it wouldn't scratch any itches for me. " Far better explanation than mine | |||

Thats just abuse. They can be challenging, difficult, timely or hard to do, but they shouldn’t be impossible. | |||

But if you know they want the spanking then its up to you as the top to either provide that or something else. However a punishment spanking should differ from a fun/play spanking due to how it is administered and what happens afterwards. | |||

It would then be up the the Dom if they did or not. There would be no repercussions if he didn't so it's not a command so again you aren't topping. If a Dom got upset with this scenario I would suggest that they were a little upset that you've asked. And felt that they should have known you wanted your nipple's played with. Because some believe Dom's know everything and are mind readers. | |||

You explain the scene will proceed to my plan or we can just go and have a cup of coffee and talk about movies. Like a wise friend said to me today, it's a dance. | |||

"What is it and can you give it examples of it? How do tell the difference between someone letting you know want they like and topping from the bottom? " I would say if you are asking/telling them a list of instructions during the play then you topping from the bottom. As it more what you specifically need. And are probably playing with the wrong person and would be more suited to a service top. If you are offering feedback from a place to enhance the Scene for all parties then it’s not topping from the bottom. But as will of these things it’s subjective to the people involved. | |||
