Quotes About Bottoming

Bottoming can "turn off our brains" – giving us a quiet respite, in the endorphin high of pain play, the stillness of bondage, or the clarity of giving good service, from the day-to-day clutter and chatter of existence.

Other rewards of bottoming include getting lots of attention, as well as acting out fantasies of helplessness and other forbidden emotions (needy, pathetic, dependent, guilt-ridden) that, like their toppish counterparts, would cause lots of trouble in the real world.
