What does “need top” mean?

[Anonymous]

A guy snapped me “need top”…wtf does it mean.

[Effably]

Clearly he needs to borrow a top.

I don't know exactly what he means. Ask? It makes obvious sense he might be referencing sex, as in top/bottom. Traditionally titles among gay men but they are commonly used to just double as dominant/active. So well, a question mark or a full stop would make that mean very different things!

Either he wants to borrow a shirt, or wants to be dominated sexually, or his misplaced his dreidel. What's the context?

[Asker]

He literally just snapped me a pic of him and said “need top”. It was out of no where, we hadn’t been talking today. I assumed it was something sexual but literally had no idea.

So there isn't even any prior conversation between you? Nothing to build off of at all? That's weird- are you sure it wasn't supposed to be sent to someone else, in a conversation that gave context in which it made sense? I think this is a time when a "Huh?" response is appropriate.

[Asker]

I mean we snap every once in awhile but nothing consistent. I almost said “huh” but then just didn’t reply 🙈

He’s asking you for a blowjob.

[SnowedIn]

It may mean he wants sex and wants to be the top or he wants someone to top him. Or it's an odd way of asking you to peg him.

Wow the amout of people that don't know this means blowjob is astounding.

[Guy13]

Top as dominant?

[Boredaf99]

I think it means head.

[JPresidente]

He might want a topless pic of you.

[Anonymous]

I have no idea what that means.

He's saying he's a bottom. He needs a top.
