The bottom is the participant in a BDSM activity who
takes the passive role. For example, who is struck with the flogger, is
tied by the ropes, or obeys the orders.
A minority limit the meaning of the word bottom to physical BDSM, but the
most common usage of the word includes
submissives as a special type of
bottom.
