Writer’s note: Throughout this article, we will be referring to the genitals of someone assigned male at birth as a penis and using masculine pronouns, but these tips will work on a wide range of folx regardless of their gender identity or what they call their privates.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The b-Vibe Blog<\/a><\/strong> has really got you covered when it comes to any and all questions you have about anal sex. Not sure how to prepare (i.e. “clean out”) before anal? Head over to anal hygiene<\/a><\/strong>. How to choose the right lube? Look no further than lube 101<\/a><\/strong>. How to have an earth-shattering p-spot orgasm?

As the new brand ambassador for b-Vibe, I was thinking what else can I add? That’s when I realized I could speak to professional adult performers about some more advanced tips for bottoming, delving past the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before I get there, you might wonder…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is bottoming?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to anal sex in queer culture, a “bottom” refers to the anal receptive partner (the person who’s being penetrated). A top refers to the anal insertive partner (the person who’s penetrating). Bottoming refers to the act of being penetrated and topping refers to the act of penetrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the terms don’t only pertain to queer culture. A straight man can bottom for a straight woman with a strap-on (what’s commonly referred to as pegging<\/a><\/strong>). There’s nothing inherently “gay”<\/a><\/strong> about bottoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
