GAY DUDES: What is a top?

Ev

First thing's first: not all gay men love anal sex, and that's okay! But for those who do, a top is the person doing the penetrating.

A top isn't necessarily the more dominant partner, though! The best way for a gay man to determine if he's a top is to experiment. Giving or receiving anal is a personal preference.

Being a good top doesn't just involve sticking a penis into his partner's anus. Topping requires reading a partner's desires, and a lot of patience. A good top knows that focusing on his partner's pleasure will yield excellent results for both partners.
