...wasn't sure where to start this thread, apologies in advance if i'm in the wrong place.

My question is this: how do you see the roles of Topping or bottoming, as opposed to D/s?

For instance: if you typically take a bottom role in your play, and feel your submission to be very real within the context of the scene, but then want to make a clear transition out of subspace and get on with your busy life...are you a bottom, or a sub?
