You can view and copy the source of this page: A top is a person "performing the action" (contrast with [[bottom]] - person receiving the action) in a [[BDSM]] [[scene]]. The term top is not to be confused with [[Dom]]. A male Dom might enjoy [[CBT]] and tell a sub what they are to do to perform on them to give them pleasure. In this case the Top is the submissive (following the direction of the Dom who controls the scene) and the bottom is the Dom (receiving the sensations given of the top). This need not necessarily be in terms of strictly BDSM activities. A dominant may also enjoy bottoming for such things as a massage or valet service and ordering their submissive to top for such activities. == Service Top == A service top might be a [[d-type]], [[m-type]], or [[s-type]] that performs topping skills on a willing [[bottom]] primarily for the benefit of the bottom (as a service to them). A professional service top is generally referred to as a [[pro dom]]. [[Category:Theory]][[Category:Non-Binary Status Roles]] Return to Top.
