FAQs
 

Seems like there should be some referrence for those of us newer to the scene. Specifically, what is the difference between a top and a bottom? Does this indicate only anal sex desires or cover all aspects of sexuality? Some ads indicate a top who enjoys sucking, etc. Does a top get the bottom off also? One other question, what does "with benefits" mean? Thanks for your help.

Briefly, these terms are used very broadly. For the most part (particularly in sex ads) top and bottom are used in reference to anal sex. However, many use them, as you have suggested, to cover "all aspects of sexuality."
When you see an ad that reads "top who enjoys sucking" he's just clarifying that his being an anal "top" does not preclude other activities.
Some tops are interested only in getting themselves off, and how you manage to get yours is entirely up to you. It has been my experience that these are a vast minority. If you happen to be one of those guys who are particularly interested in "str8s" you will encounter this situation more often.
"With benefits" means that there is a retirement and health plan. Seriously, it refers to some sort of compensation. Depending on how it is used it means that the person either expects to receive or will provide compensation. Compensation does not always have to mean cash.

I see top as meaning "insertive", either in the mouth or ass. I see bottom as meaning "receptive", again either ass or mouth. Thus an oral top is a guy who wants to stick his dick in >your< mouth. An oral bottom is a guy who wants your dick stuck in >his< mouth. Anal top, he fucks you. Anal bottom, you fuck him. Then there is versatile, like me, who likes it all :D

As for "with benefits", I don't see that as meaning compensaiton. At least around here, it just means two guys who want to get off with each other...... who want more than just a friend... a mutual benifit. Maybe the definition is regional.

With Benefits...
 

Yup, at times, guys use it to say that one dude is doing something nice for the other dude, like cash, getting him a better job or similar.

However, it mostly means that the two guys are not BFs as in love with each other but are actually friends while being fuck buddies at the same time.
