To me, topping from the bottom is when the bottom is the dominant. Too many people are confused and think that top and dominant are the same thing. One is physical and one is mental. If the bottom is mentally in control of the situation, whether by being manipulative or simply because their top gets off on pleasuring them, then the bottom is the dominant.

quote: ORIGINAL: CrushME33 I'm a top from the bottom. I'll try to make large women sit on my face. I think it annoys them... Being a dom from the bottom is not good. I think. How do I change? I'm glad to see someone started interjecting a bit of humor into this post. (Right when I was in the midst of formulating a serious reply) I wonder, though, just how manipulative do you have to get to convince BBWs to do this to you? Way dated comment, but like we used to say to one another in high school: Don't Ever Change! Before I knew any better, back in the days when I was a vanilla cone sprinkled with a handful of mini Hershey kisses, both my former husbands were Topping me from the bottom regularly. Neither of them were real subs (nor was I a real Domme yet)--they were just kinky bastards. (Btw, HarryVanWinkle, substitution of the 'true' word is just for your sake, buddy. :) Personally, I don't have a problem with it, unless it's blatantly done with an unruly spirit of disobedience, such as deliberately acting up in the hopes of getting disciplined more strictly than I would otherwise be inclined to do. (In that case, NOT getting punished in a preferred manner would be his punishment. If he hates listening to Coldplay and can't stand Quentin Tarantino, guess what he'll be strapped into a chair listening to in front of the Plasma TV until Mistress decides when enough is enough? Hey, that would be considered cruel & unusual punishment for some. ;) Shout Out Footnote for TnCuck4Mistress: "I guess I am lucky my contract ended". . . "I am sure she would have not taken no for an answer as that was back in my noober days when I thought I was a no limit slave like the typical noob who doesn't know better." Whew, I'm relieved for you, dude. :o P.S. Should I have split this into 3 posts? And earn my wooden paddle sooner?

Topping from the bottom certainly does exist. Some people enjoy that little game others find it annoying. I agree to a certain extent it is a manipulation but too me it's more the sub not subbing. In other words, for me, a successful session has a certain flow to it and from a sub to be demanding or disobedient rather than communicating in a constructive way, then it completely ruins the rhythm of the whole scene. We all know submission is given but when the sub won't "give". Someone previously stated that they aren't true subs, more kinks or fetishists. There maybe an element of truth to that unless we an agree that there are control freak subs. Others are what I call the "know it all sub". No Dom or sub plays as much or as hard as the knowitall. They constantly are trying to micromanage the session because they think they are the world greatest experts on everything and will not shut-up about it. At lot of times these can be switches but not always. They need that tennis ball shoved in their ass in such a specific way or else they can never get off! You seriously need your gags handy!

You can call it "manipulation" or the "sub not subbing" but either way it isn't ever going to happen in my marriage. If Carol chooses not to obey that's cool and I love her and all that and we'll be happily married still but she won't be my slave anymore. Once she's not my slave then there's no "topping from the bottom" because there is no top & bottom. In other words, I deal in reality.

quote: ORIGINAL: TnCuck4Mistress In your own opinion what does it mean to top from the bottom? Also if I may ask, do you believe that a person who tops from the bottom is a switch or what is your opinion of a persons true role who does this? Thanks My opinion is there is no such thing. My opinion is this is the millionth thread on this topic. My opinion is if you think someone is topping from the bottom, you lack communication skills, big time, you are not in sync with your partner or you don't give a crap about the other person.

That may be generally true but I can name at least one case where Carol was at least attempting to manipulate pretty strongly. It was at least attempted "topping from the bottom" in my view. I think it's probably not reasonable to say we lack in comm skills etc. It was more a personality quirk of hers that I noted and fixed. I wasn't offended by it because unless I agree to bottom from the top then it goes nowhere.. just as it did. That's exactly why I see that line as a sign of a weak dom more than a bad sub.

If I go to a pro-domme and tell her what I want in a session, is that topping from the bottom or just good business? lol... It seems that these labels are silly to an extent...there are varying degrees to every relationship dynamic and every single person is different. Is anyone sane really 100% submissive or 100% dominant? But what do i know...I am a closeted fetishist...

Is anyone sane really 100% submissive or 100% dominant? But what do i know...I am a closeted fetishist... Yeah well, whatever you know I happen to agree with you. That's why I just prefer to call it by it's real name rather than some made-up BDSMism. Either she is rejecting the command entirely which is called "disobedience" or she is trying to twist out of it somehow which is called "manipulation". Or, in a healthy happy relationship she just does the command and we call that "obedience" and probably also "happiness". oh... and to answer your question, I see it as "good business" but I readily admit I got no clue how anything like what I'd call "D/s" could happen in that sort of a relationship.

As a straight chick, I have to say there are folks who don't fall into the "everybody's at least a little bisexual" theory. Same goes for those of us who don't have any desire to submit or (on the other side of things) dominate in any way. I'd agree with good business. However, depending on how one looks at the situation and circumstances, some would consider a professional to be a service top. Some practitioners do exactly what the bottom wants when they are paid. Others understand that the bottom doesn't want the feeling of directing the session and give the professional free reign within their designated limits and pay for the privilege of not being in charge. All depends on how you look at it and what the parties involved do in regard to the situation.

For me , topping from the bottom is not communicating effectively or negotiating as an adult. I am a normal person who you are talking too and quite frankly I find topping from the bottom frustrating . If you have desires or tastes discuss them with me in open communication. Bratting on the other hand in non consensually forcing me to react to your behaviour. I don't mind cheeky fun playing around however, when it comes to beating for attention you are forcing me to react against my will.

A two-tour Iraqi war vet, he has this to say: Top and Dominant vs Mental and Physical offers no such definitive distinction. I think you and I may have had a conversation about different titles: Superior, Top, Dominant, Madame, Mistress, etc. Each is defined by the person in charge. Furthermore, you cannot have the physical without the mental. It is impossible in any D/s relationship. Perhaps this is a result of my military experience. Thanks to that, I have a true understanding of what it means to be in charge and have someone in charge. People need to have this perspective in life in general. Natural curiosity is an asset that every good leader appreciates. Natural curiosity that negatively affects leadership vision needs to be squashed - including anything in these relationships.

[sm=applause.gif][sm=applause.gif] YAY! I always love the rare times when actual, real-world leadership is discussed in BDSM. To support the point, I actively build teams that disagree with me... as any good leader does. But there are ways to disagree that are constructive and ways to do it which are destructive. A few months ago I threw a guy off the team summarily because he'd chosen the destructive option.

Domnotica -> RE: Topping from The Bottom (9/5/2013 11:13:45 AM)
Like all relationships you must know your subs wants, likes and desires. Communication is necessary HOWEVER there is a time and a place to share these tid bits of info. If shared during play I find it a turn off and consider that topping from the bottom.

I also agree & understand your point as to how it should not happen once in a scene. Same with me when a Dom bottoms from the top...

Honestly, what is so hard about listening to information and then deciding to do something else instead? If someone's bottoming to me, I want to know what she wants, or doesn't want, what she thinks might get her to orgasm for example. If I decide to follow her lead and "rub her right there" until she comes, it's a bitch-ass move on my part to complain later that she topped from the bottom. Either follow the request because you want to, or don't follow it because you don't want to, but OWN YOUR SHIT.

You'd probably be better served by a "vanilla" guy who owns a well-worn copy of She Comes First. There's a tremendous self-centeredness in "I am going to be tied up and used, and not have to do anything except lie there and take it."

TieMeInKnottss -> RE: Topping from The Bottom (9/7/2013 11:25:48 AM)
Haven't read all the posts but I know I have been guilty of topping...and I am pretty submissive both sexually & in personality. Usually, for me, I notice it if I have lost respect for the Dom. It is almost like a survival type thing..if I don't feel "safe" or "controlled" then I start trying to put the structure into place myself. Now the problem is that I SUCK at being the dominant and we are not going anyway good, fun or safe with me leading the way for too long!!! I don't think it is a matter of a "true" or "real" Dom or sub but a matter of the strength of the bond. If you hook up with someone and don't know them...hard to turn over that level of control and I think, naturally you keep looking out for yourself. Second...if you are in a longterm relationship and the bond is broken (somebody cheats, continuously shirks their responsibilities, allows things to get out of control...) then, it is hard to maintain the balance. With my ex, when I started feeling like he was no longer doing things he should do..was deferring too many decisions to me...I started to mentally go my own way which led to me demanding more control during play... I didn't feel like I could trust him to do the job so I stepped in and did it.

Very interesting! Thanks for the perspective. [:)]

PrincessDonna11 -> RE: Topping from The Bottom (9/7/2013 3:07:40 PM)
Topping from the bottom (although there seems to be MANY answers) is the person that calls themselves the bottom (sub or slave) attempting to arrange the situation ( by whatever means) so that their version of what should be happening does indeed happen. I usually have this type stand on their tip toes with their nose in a circle and their hands behind their back...ok that's only because it amuses me to see them so "not in control" and of course they must have the standard pink panties on.
