I have been thinking over the years about what it means to be a bottom and I decided I want to try putting the standards I have developed for myself into words. There may be more posts eventually, but I’ll start with the subject that is at the core of being a bottom, sex(uality).
To start with, I know there are people who may accuse me of double standards for not applying the same to tops, but that is a false comparison. There are standards for how planes and cars are built, that are uniform within each category, but they are not the same across. Some basic principles are shared, like that the vessel needs to be safe, but otherwise it would not make sense to apply the plane standards to cars and vice versa. Similarly, tops and bottoms are not identical and while basic human decency should be expected from both, the standards are only uniform within people of the same group.
Below are the bare minimum standards I think any bottom should live up to and that I do my best to adhere to.
Keep the body count low. Staying a virgin until marriage is admirable if one can achieve it, but for most it is unrealistic as one enters at least some relationship before marriage. A good target is to keep sexual contacts within such committed relationships and not date every person you run into. Bottoming is riskier in terms of STDs and if I have been all around town, what does it say about my ability to stay loyal in a marriage?
Masturbation should at most be seen as a harm reduction activity to stay away from hookups while single, not as a pleasant pastime. When married (or in a committed relationship) it is cheating and not to be done, period. Time should be spent building my character to be a good wife.
One way to spend that time when married is preparing for marital duties. Bottoming often requires preparations and there are almost always ways to make oneself more attractive for one’s husband. Understanding one’s husband’s likes and catering to them is a key building block for a successful marriage.
Sex is called a marital duty because it is not about the bottom’s enjoyment. I consent to sex on my husband’s terms when marrying and offer myself in exchange for his affection and protection.
When married, it is ultimately up to one’s husband to set the expectations. From observations I do, however, see how damaging to the harmony of marriages bottoms’ sexual liberation is. A wife that drools over other men, flaunting herself to them and playing with herself rather than servicing her husband is a recipe for divorce.
Maybe I’ll edit this later if I find better ways to formulate my ”ideology”, this was just my first attempt to put words on it.
