SlangWhat is the origin and meaning of the phrase "power bottom"?
Power bottom is a slang term for a receptive sexual partner who is energetic, confident, and actively engaged during sex, often taking control of the pace or intensity despite being in the bottom role. The phrase is most common in gay male communities and is sometimes used humorously or as a compliment to describe someone with stamina and enthusiasm. While the term can carry a playful tone, it also reflects the idea that sexual roles do not necessarily dictate who holds control or influence in an encounter.
Examples
