What is a Sub Top like?

Frokkie​(sub male) • Jul 18, 2026
I honestly have a bit of trouble thinking what a sub top would be like. I know that a top doesnt necessarily have to be dominant, but I guess I just want to know how a sub top feels. Im not one, but its good to know how other people experience something before casting judgement. So, what do you think?

My understanding is that the sub does the topping as an act of service to the person being topped--presumably their dominant, for example. I suppose a scenario could also exist where the sub's dominant ordered them to top another person such as another sub or another person. The sub does this topping activity (whatever it is) from a subordinate position and under the direction of their dominant--not as an act of dominance in itself if that makes sense. The act of service model or similarly the obedience model are the two scenarios that make the most sense to me in terms of the situations in which this might take place. I hope that helps.

Being "on top" and being "a top" are different things from what I learned and see albeit from the sidelines of "Kink Retirement".

Variety on who is the active participant is a good thing. But as with anything else, communication within the dynamic is key. There's no one size fits all formula for any interpersonal relationships, let along D/s dynamics. No leather-bound and revered "BDSM Rule Book". Anyone who insists that there is, figuratively speaking of course, is full of shit. Every couple's situations are different. It's the fucking spice of life.

This probably didn't help a hell of a lot. Just my three cents.

Good afternoon. I'm not precisely certain what a sub Top is (my initial thought was either a shirt a submissive is wearing or something you get from Firehouse Subs to go on your sandwich). Although I am not certain in what reference you mean, I will give it a go based upon my limited knowledge.

Years ago, a good friend of mine considered himself very submissive but he was extremely proud of an event he attended. You'll forgive me if my telling of his tale is not as accurate as I remember - it may not be 100% but it's the gist of it. There were several Dominants and their submissives at one individual's home, all enjoying a good evening. He offered to attend to the Dominant and Domme of the house, and so they sat in their respective chairs, side by side and he proceeded to work between the two of them, one hand per each, orchestrating and "attending" to their satisfaction as it were. I don't recall if he attended to the one before the other as simultaneously would have been a logistical nightmare. But as he was providing the services, they allowed him great latitude to give direction and take care of their needs. He gave the Dominant a hand for a good bit, finishing him off and then gave the lady Domme the proverbial "fingering" if I recall the story properly. In essence, although he was the submissive, he needed to and they allowed him to "Top" them as he was providing the service and the scene.

But I do allow someone wiser and more experienced than I might impart a different thought and explanation.
