<br />
'''Bottom''' refers to a person in a [[BDSM]] or [[kink]] interaction who receives or experiences an activity performed by another participant.<br />
<br />
The term describes a role in a specific scene rather than a permanent identity. A bottom may or may not also identify as a [[submissive]].<br />
<br />
For example, a person receiving [[bondage]], impact play, or sensory stimulation during a scene may be described as the bottom.<br />
