Top BDSM – The term top is used by those in the S/M community for those who choreograph or direct sex play with a partner. They are the authority figure. This is a much broader term than sadist which implies arousal from seeing a partner injured or in pain. A top may simply require that their partner attend a dinner function without underwear. More specific titles may be used during a fantasy game such as teacher, reverend father, mistress, and goddess. (see also, Bottom, Masochist, sadism, and Switch)
