Is it topping from the bottom or orneriness?

[TomOfSweden]

Once, I was in trouble with Master and Sir reminded me I needed to remind Master I still needed punishment. Personally, viewed this as "topping from the bottom". One, I figured Master would remember on his one, on his own time. Two, I felt telling him expecting him right then to punish me was topping.....I asked Sir his view when i asked him if this could be considered "topping". He explained...."If Master tells you to not do this and you do it anyway, that's topping from the bottom. You are reminding him....that's all." (paraphrasing)

Your views.......

My views is that a slave can only top from the bottom if the Master wants the slave to. If your master tells you not to do something and you do it anyway, I wouldn't call that D/s at all. That's just an ordinary vanilla relationship.
