    Are bottoms more likely to use the internet to find dudes? Are tops more likely to seek dudes in person?

    For the non-geighs (like me) among the reading audience, could someone explain the stereotype of a typical bottom vs. a typical top?


    There's a lot that's being unsaid in this thread, and inquiring minds want to know...

    @xyzpdq: No stereotype -- some are just naturally givers; others, receivers. Seeming butch doesn't make one a top anymore than seeming fey makes one a bottom.

    I think the NYC numbers are a bit warped. From what I've, uhm, heard, there is an insane number of bottoms in this city. And all the "vers" guys are really just bottoms in disguise. We need to work on this, people.

    What about us followers of the 'middle way'? Sometimes you're looking to bottom but when you open the door and see who's on the threshold you go "uhm, I think I'll be topping today." Or vice-versa.

    @propertius: no, that was an art movement. the term is 'versatile'


    made more confusing by the fact that 'top' generally means 'versatile', and 'versatile' generally means 'bottom'. and 'bottom' means - well, you don't want to know.

    @once Gay sex works best if one's a top and the other's a bottom. They, um, fit well together.


    2 tops or 2 bottoms is an issue.

    New York has the highest percentage of guys who claim to be tops but turn into needy, demanding bottoms as soon as you get them home.

    @Kid Twist" Really? I thought commenters here were the types to black out most of their nights and not remember if actual sex or weeping happened, just that they've woken up with strange cuts and bruises and an empty wallet..


    @bytememehard: Actually, the gold star means "polymorphously perverse," as any good psychoanalyst will tell ya. Pervert.
