Why does my boyfriend call me a power bottom?

[Anonymous]

we're a heterosexual couple. I'm a bit androgynous (more masculine than feminine) and he called me a power bottom the other day, which I know is a gay term. I just don't know if it's an insult?

Or could he mean that you want him to be the aggressive sexual partner, but you are so demanding about it, that you are "topping from the bottom"?

Do you thrust up into him while your on bottom? Maybe he doesn't know it's gay?

we never have missionary sex. He's always on the bottom and yes he knows it's gay

I have no idea. I don't even know what it means. You should ask him that.

he probably means this

a power bottom enjoys maintaining control over the top and/or the penetration, the normally dominant role in gay male sex. Power bottoms supposedly have skilled tongues.

It's strange, why not just ask him about it?
