the captians wench said:Okay, I've put some serious thought into this, no one faint now, and I think I've come up with an opionion. Topping is a verb, the action to top, which is a position but is some times used to refure to the more dominate of the participants involved. To have a top in this senerio one would almost deffinitly have to have a bottom. But these two terms are both very broad terms used by many in many different ways. If you do not consider yourself to be a bottom then there can be no place to top from by way the question is frazed. Then again, if he doesn't consider himself a top, then there is no one to try and go over so to speak. So if you're no bottom, and he's no top then to top from the bottem would be impossible because there is no bottom or top. You're just two people having fun and that's how it should be
have I made any since at all? I tried really hard this time and my head hurts.

If one tries to put others into any categories, yes, it's hard to place you. And after Pure's post and my continuation of his thoughts confusing me a lot, it's not to be wondered at. I did not mean to offend or insult anyone.
It seems to be worth much that not liking labels is so very popular around here. Trying to label oneself is hard, but trying to label others is close to impossible.
Pure said:hi chris,
there are a couple qualifications I should have added
C: Pure, with the same logic one can also say that when Fury does Domly things to her husband, because he wants her to, then she is in fact 'bottoming',
new form:
Pure's sentence revised: if hubby's wants are the [added: active and] primary determinant in an encounter, [added: and he is seeing to it that they are such], then he is topping.
P: Your example is unclear on a couple points. If he is saying "these are my wants" and you are to meet them, and she accedes --be it whatever role, e.g., whipping or being whipped-- then his wants are, as I said, the primary determinant and further they are actively promoted.
The question for 'topping' is 'who is in charge' or 'who's calling the shots' *and this can only be the case if the two persons are opering on an agreement that essentially puts them both--i.e. jointly-- (in which case, one may equally well say, 'no one is in charge').
It's in fact a tricky question, just as it's hard to see, in a couple, who is 'in charge'.
Looking at a variant of your example: My dog, when hungry, starts sniffing around the floor, looking for crumbs. If I see that, i feed him. In a sense then, his desires have 'called the shot,' since he's fed accordingly.
If Furry simply notices or knows hubby wants something, such as a dish of ice cream, and she decides to get it for him, it looks as if his wants are determining what happens, and in a sense they are.
In a larger sense, however, something else *may* be happening, as one sees played out in the sitcoms, like "Raymond." IF one partner has a plan to get what she (for example) wants, such as for example a new car, she may decide to cater to the other, to 'butter him up', and even 'serve' him before he asks. But in fact, she is in charge. AS is the farmer in 'fattening the goose,' in the classic tales.
Arguably I'm in charge of the dog, too, since I've decided and committed to look after him so he has a good life. Given that's my plan, I feed by a schedule, but also I look for signs of hunger, and when I see them, I almost always feed him. So, in the terms I've added at the beginning, his desires do determine things, but not because they are actively asserted. I'm observing them, and in fact it's my active choice to act on the observation, i.e., meet that want.
There, clear as mud!

chris9 said:Sorry, Pure, I think I'm too tired to be understanding much of this. I'll try again tomorrow, if I manage to keep my eyes open after the exam to read anything (not likely ) Or I come back saturday. I feel like I could understand something and actually agree. Not now though. Good night.

*pats head gently, then gives full scalp massage*
I happen to agree with you and yes, you do make sense IMO!

SpectreT said:I just re-re-read the post immediately above my first entry here, and I missed a sentence - the one where he indicated interest, then forgot about it. That's a "calling on the carpet" offense, in my book. Kind of thing that needs to be addressed. When it happens. The puppy principle. And tell him, "Check your priorities, damnit!" Tell him it's from me, if you want.
And I didn't say anything about being a perfect communicator; I've just been in one relationship where miscommunication, rather, lack of open and blunt communication, caused the whole thing to just fizzle out. I've seen it happen to others, so I dragged out the soapbox. If that's not the situation, I apologize for bouncing my $0.02 off your noggin. It wasn't intended to be patronizing.
au_man said:As with SpectreT I didn't go through all the posts.
Now my situation may be different and your milage may very, but 90% of the time I am a Dom/Top, but I do switch for my wife couse she loves strap on sex...
When she has had all the thrusting and orgasms she can handle then she rolls over and I ride her to my orgasm.
So that 10% of the time I submit for her and she tells me to ride her she it topping me from the bottom...
Just my humble opinion...

This is turning into a whole 'nother thread now.
LOL
Nope, not at all.
Billy-boy and I are both considering moving our posts, but are unsure of where or how. Actually, I am considering the moving of Billy-boy's post. He isn't allowed to make decisions.
Whatever you wish to do is fine but you don't have to on my account.
