A few days ago a friend related to me that he’ll like to smash a power bottom ‘cuz “they know how to truly put it down”. I can’t say i’ve encountered a “power bottom”, to me, there’s not much of a difference between a bottom and a power bottom. If the sex is good, that just means there’s a strong connection between the two partners. However, in a recent interview with Esquire Magazine December issue, 2010, Dr Brian Rzepczynski expressed his views about the concept of “the power bottom” as it pertains to gay sexuality.

1. What is the difference between a bottom and a power bottom, or how is power bottom defined?

In gay sexuality terms, a “bottom” is understood to be the male partner who is on the receptive end of anal intercourse and enjoys being penetrated. A “power bottom” could be defined as a bottom who has a strong enthusiasm and drive for engaging in long sessions of anal penetrative sex, whether as an extended single encounter with no interruption of being “topped”, or having the desire and ability to engage in multiple instances of anal sex over a long period of time within a sexual episode. A man who can accommodate penile thrusting for long periods without stopping and shows exuberance, lack of inhibition, and active participation in the sexual encounter are characterized as “power bottoms.” Many tops (the penetrator) who have endurance and enjoy long sessions of anal intercourse commonly complain about bottoms who have to terminate penetration because of discomfort, pain, or exhaustion. Conversely, power bottoms can also be discontented with a top who ejaculates too quickly during sex and halts the sexual encounter before he has been thoroughly satisfied.
