The most underrated quote in this video is when he reads out the chatter message "Google is your friend" and responds with "I used to think that to". There are like 9 ways to interpret it. He's a mastermind. He's goddamn screenwriting intricate plot twists into reality LIVE.
If one asks from a place of authentic astonishment, "why are you so curious," they are cooked harder than a dementia ridden grandma in charge of Thanksgiving for the orphanage's junk drawer casserole.
I know hes just doing it for the banter but i wish so badly i could have this conversation with him because he's actually hitting on an interesting topic and people do use these terms in confusing ways all the time.

I’m at work but basically top ≠ dom, but top is by definition the one that penetrates. Someone saying the bottom can be the one that penetrates is just wrong. Top and Bottom are sexual positions. (Top: Giving. Bottom: Receiving) You can be a dom and still be penetrated (hence why we get the Power Bottom. Also Switch and Vers are the same thing don’t get it twisted. It can apply to both sexual practices and power dynamics.
Ooooh, so it's not anything to do with relative position to one another? Like if someone was riding you cowboy/girl, then you'd obviously be the one penetrating, but you're still at the bottom, but you would still be considered topping?
@@tb4076 if the rider is in control, they're the dom, but the rider can be the one motioning and still be a sub if they're being told what to do, for example.
Gotta be honest, not the biggest fan of applying BDSM terms to vanilla sex. Like, you're not a dom just because you're in control of the sex. You're a dom if you're practicing BDSM and the one who's dominant (tying up your partner, humiliating them, hurting them, etc). I would use the terms active and passive.
I'm so dumb I thought top literally meant on top, so like someone riding a dick while the other person is laying down would be "topping" them. Genuinely eye opening
a lot of the the dynamics boil down to dichotomies like top vs bottom and dom vs sub just not always aligning which is where the confusion is at like they just arent built to always line up
For the Car analogy, top position would be driver and bottom would be passenger seat, but the Dom allows decisions on where they are going, and the sub participates.
Nah so you see, if you got your sub driving you around that person is being your chauffeur basically, they gotta open and close your door, they gotta make sure you get somewhere on time to the specific destination and shit. Having the sub doing the driving isn't that weird since you're basically chilling as they do the work
I think what he doesn't understand is that subs are often very extroverted and assertive in their daily life (e.g. at work) so they crave the release of giving up control sexually. That doesn't mean they're a tradwife at home and Succession at work either though.
Well said. The fact that it's often a contradiction of their typical personality type is a wrinkle that is often missed at first glance. But I think he'd understand everything pretty well if he grasped that.
It's easy to break this down. If a girl can be a dom to a man who is a sub then obviously a bottom can be a dom to a top who is a sub. Dom and sub are more social dynamics than physical positions.
PLEASE SOMEONE TELL HIM THAT TOP IS USED TO MEAN DOM / BOTTOM TO MEAN SUB IN COMMON PARLANCE DESPITE OSTENSIBLY REFERRING SPECIFICALLY TO ORDINATION FOR GOD'S SAKE
