What is a power bottom?

In the context of sexual activity, a "power bottom" refers to a receptive partner (the one who is penetrated) who is assertive and takes a dominant role in the sexual encounter, despite being the one receiving penetration. This contrasts with the stereotypical image of the receptive partner as passive. A power bottom might initiate sex, choose positions, or otherwise direct the activity. The power dynamic is based on personality and behavior, not solely on the act of receiving penetration. It's important to note that this is a role that individuals can choose and embrace, and it's not tied to any specific gender identity or sexual orientation.
