The person who receives an action in a scene, such as being tied or receiving sensation, regardless of who holds the power.
A bottom is the person on the receiving end of the action in a scene, such as the one being tied or receiving impact. Bottoming describes this receptive role. It is distinct from being submissive: a bottom receives the physical experience, while submission is about yielding control. Some people bottom for the sensation or experience without taking a submissive headspace at all.
