For most of us, we’re pretty set in our sexual roles. If you’re a top, you probably know your way around giving the pleasure, being in control, and leading the action. But every now and then, even tops might get curious about what it feels like on the other side. So, here’s a question for all you tops out there: Have you ever bottomed? And if so, how was it?
Switching roles in the bedroom can be a thrilling change, especially if you’re with a partner who makes you feel comfortable and safe. For some tops, bottoming might happen spontaneously—maybe during an intimate moment when the chemistry is so intense, you decide to give it a try. For others, it might have been something you planned, perhaps just to see what all the fuss is about. Either way, we’d love to hear about your experience.
One Reddit user recounted their story, saying, “Just bottomed for the first time. Bottoms, now I understand you.” He added:
So, I (30M), have been sexually active for a few months but always as the top. Last night my power bottom FWB strangely expressed interest in topping me (he’s 33 and had only topped 3 times before in his life). He’s got a fairly small 4-inch dick but since it was my first time bottoming it was perfect size. He stuck it in me slowly and it didn’t hurt like I thought it would. Instead, I felt a deep pressure inside my body like something was going to explode.
It freaked me out at first but the more he kept going the more I got used to it. He kept going at it and I found myself making all sorts of noises and gestures. Before when I would watch porn, I thought most bottoms exaggerated their moaning for the camera but last night I was moaning like a bitch and making all sorts of noises and facial expressions I’d never done before. The feeling of being completely submissive by another person was something I’d never experienced before, and it was amazing. When I’m topping, I’m often thinking ‘Am I doing it right?’ ‘Is he (the bottom) really enjoying it?’ Last night when I was bottoming the thinking part of my brain shut off and I was solely focused on what I was feeling. Honestly the mental aspect of bottoming was more exciting and invigorating than the actual physical act.
What about you, guys? Did you find the experience to be fun, or maybe even empowering in a different way? Or were you uncomfortable and immediately knew it wasn’t for you? Sometimes, trying something new just reaffirms what we already know about ourselves. But even so, it can be an interesting way to expand your understanding of sex and connection.
And now the big question: Would you ever bottom again? Was it a one-time deal for you, or did you enjoy it enough to try again? For some tops, bottoming could open up new possibilities, while for others, it might just be a checkmark on the list of things they’ve tried.
For those tops who’ve never given bottoming a try, are you open to it? What’s holding you back, if anything? Is it a matter of preference, or maybe something else, like not feeling comfortable or ready? We’re curious to hear from those who are sticking to topping, too!
We’re curious to hear your stories. If you’re a top who’s bottomed, how was it? What led you to give it a try, and would you do it again? Share your experience with us and let other Adam4Adam blog readers know what it was like to switch things up in the bedroom!
Top? Bottom? When I began having sex with guys, it wasn’t something I cared about. When guys asked, I said I’d never done either. Also that I knew I wasn’t strong when it came to being in a condom and that I wasn’t looking for Top to “take me”. As I got know some good FWBs, they understood. A couple of them (separately) would massage my hole and over time finger me. Eventually, one good bud suggested a “toy”. Upon insertion, I just knew I had to “shit NOW!”. So, we went back to fingering. Over time, some of my… Read more »
And this my friends is why it’s best to be versatile [like me] because you’ll never have room to doubt yourself lol. It’s interesting that people declares themselves a top or bottom due towards what they feel, or believe, earlier in life that that’s what they are then discovers later on in life once curiosity gets the better of them that “Oh wait…maybe I’m not a total top/bottom that I’d initially thought about myself.” Then you’ll start seeing their profiles change from Top to Verse-Top, Versatile, Verse-Bottom, or they turned a whole 360 and became a total bottom lol.

Had always been a top. Loved my ass ate, though never had a desire to bottom. Then one night a regular fuck buddy, for some reason was really into eating my ass, longer than he ever had. He has me so fucking horny I rolled over into the middle of the bed, head down ass up. He ate me for a while longer then got behind me and worked his 8″ cock into me slowly. All of a sudden I felt like I was floating in air (we were both high on weed) and could hear myself moaning like a… Read more »
First time I got FUCK and not on weed. I DID FEEL LIKE I WAS FLOATING ON AIR!! I enjoy both top and bottom. It just depends on what happens..
Yeah, I do, enjoy being rimmed, for sure.
*looks at watch*
Are we done typing out our fantasies that totally, actually, 100% for real never happened? The rest of us have things to do.
It absolutely happened, John. Why would someone lie about their first time?
switch-hitting?
IT WAS ++++HORRIFIC+++
When I first came out, everyone wanted to fuck me and I loved it. The first gay bar I went to, went totally silent, the second I entered the door. I was one of the prettiest boys in town (Portland, Oregon) and I could pretty much pick any of the hottest guys to fuck me. I never even thought about fucking anyone, they always wanted to fuck me anyway. Until one day in an old fashioned bookstore peep show room in back, a cute white boy got my attention. We dropped our pants and started playing around and when he… Read more »
From what I’ve gotten from your post, it seems to me that you were exploring your sexuality during your youth making you quite a versatile guy which is nothing wrong with that. I don’t know where you stand in your sexual role in these times of days, but I feel (And feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) my intuition is telling me that you’re most likely a top or maybe even a verse-top. Nonetheless it seems like you’ve had one hell of a good time in your youthful years. And I hope you still are ❤. As a… Read more »
Well, When I got my first apt., I tried “doing myself” experimenting with my own anus, using; you’re going to chuckle, a polish sausage, get this, I was thoughtful or creative enough to warm it first, as I wanted it to feel as much like the real thing as possible, I did nothing for me. Then, I came out, The first real time; he was very small, it hurt like hell-felt a pencil of something; me on my back, I though, wrong position, perhaps? Second trial and last time; he was I’m guessing a 7′ in sz? Anyway, this time,… Read more »
My first attempt at being fucked was terrible. The idiot just shoved his average-sized cock straight in me with no preparation at all and it hurt like hell! to add insult to the injury, he only lasted about four strokes before cumming. that confirmed to me that I am a top. I do have one long time lover that I have deep feelings of affection for that I will let top me and he’s gentle so it doesn’t hurt but I get little from the experience except enjoying his pleasure.
When I first started with men i was 18. I was a bit of a twink back then so older men really liked me. I just assumed i was to bottom and older men are better lovers so i did enjoy it. One buddy was soo good when i shot my load my cum literally hit the ceiling! One night while at a bar i was hanging with a few guys and when the bar closed we went to someones place. 6 or 7 guys fucking and i tried topping. Well after that I stayed a top for the most… Read more »
I’ve been in 4 long term relationships over 4 decades. I’m mostly a bottom, but have been vers with each guy. I like equality in a relationship, not dominance. With that said, for some reason bottoming is my ultimate pleasure with a guy. To feel the initial teasing and penetration of the tip, then the slow accepting of the shaft, The stretching of your anal ring, feeling every contour of a new cock is amazing! Each penis is different in it’s sensation. Small ones can hit your G spot very well. Big ones feel great sliding through your second gate… Read more »
Probably the hottest time I’ve ever had was with an older medical professional with a really great cock and large balls. He brought medical grade vape. All it took was two inhalations and we were all over each other. It was fun to suck him while fingering his hole. HIs massive balls were strapped up with 4 ball rings. He’s normally a top. He loved the anal stimulation. He got to a point where he could no longer wait. He entered me and had a quick orgasm while his large balls were slapping my buns. When he pulled out, the… Read more »
When I first started I thought all guys were versatile. I had no enjoyment bottoming. It either hurt or didn’t feel anything at all, kind of like the wife you see in movies where the husband is fucking away and the wife looks at the clock waiting for him to finish. So been a top since then. I had a buddy who says to try again and I told him, what my expediences were like. Yet he tried over to and over to suggest doing it again. So I let him, took his time and absolutely the same experience. I… Read more »
Bottoming feels good with the right guy but overrated IMO. I identify as a versatile top and enjoy topping as it happened by default being a tall middle age black guy in SoCal. When I was in my twenties and thirties, I was pursued mostly by tops and I remember how excited and rushed some of these guys were, and it hurt when they slipped it in so quickly. I wanted it to end as soon as it started. Other guys usually took their time going in and it felt good, inviting, and intimate. However, I let one guy I… Read more »
My first time was with a friend and a friend of his I didn’t know. He was helping me secure a hotel for prom. He took care of it, I paid him cash and we went to the room. His friend started touching me, I honestly froze. I had fingered my own ass several time, fucked myself with a dildo. I just loved the feeling, but I also had only had sex with woman. Next thing I know, my pants are off, I’m getting a blow job, the other guy is jerking off and puts his cock in my mouth.… Read more »
