Still means "bested" to me. I'm not hip to sexual slang.
"Topping" means taking an active role in sex, whereas "bottoming" is a passive role.
Nyeah... partly.
If that were entirely true, a "power bottom" would make no sense.
The terms sexual usage originated in gay circles where it only delineates who penetrates and who gets penetrated. Traditional views on sex ascribe a submissive or passive role to the bottom and an active or dominating role to the top, but you can totally have a power bottom who takes control and an active role in the intercourse but is the one getting penetrated.
