BADASS BOTTOMING

Badass bottoming approaches SM play competitively. It is an explicit dare, either to self or other. It can be internally competitive, in which the bottom seeks to withstand or endure more than ever before or more than the bottom thinks he or she can. It can also, though less commonly, seek to outlast the top or exceed the top’s physical or ethical limits:

Kirby stood with his bare back against the concrete wall. His arms hung limply at his sides. Tammy, at least six inches taller than Kirby and considerably heavier, was standing four feet in front of him, wearing sweat pants and a ratty T-shirt, and holding a singletail.

They locked eyes and laughed.

“You ready?” Tammy asked, grinning affectionately. “Bring it on,” Kirby replied, still smiling.

Tammy checked behind her to make sure she was clear. Then she smiled at Kirby again, and in one smooth motion, she threw the whip horizontally through the air. It landed on his chest and he gasped. She waited, just a beat, and threw it again. Kirby closed his eyes. Tammy got into a rhythm and began whipping him faster, harder, and always across the center of his chest. As the whipping grew more rhythmic, Kirby opened his eyes and kept them on Tammy’s face.

Tammy’s whipping was serious. It’s difficult to see a singletail land, and Kirby has a hairy chest, and it was dark, but I could see how quickly it connected once she threw it, and even in the dim light I could see his skin reddening in places.

Kirby made a lot of hissing whistling sounds—that sharp “sssssssst!” that people tend to make when they feel very precise sorts of pain. He stomped a couple of times and slammed his hand into the wall behind him. Once he fairly screamed and jumped sideways out of her range. She looked at him impatiently, half-smirking, with her eyebrows raised and a challenge in her eyes, and he glared at her as if she’d been the one to jump away. He put himself back against the wall and puffed his chest out. (Field notes)
