Party Bottom
Gay male slang for someone who takes the receptive role in anal sex while using recreational drugs, often in a chemsex setting.
Party bottom is slang in gay male culture for a person who takes the receptive role in anal sex while under the influence of recreational substances, often in the context of chemsex, also called PnP or party and play. The term sits at the intersection of drug use and sexual culture in some gay communities and appears both in harm reduction conversations, where it helps name specific health risks, and within community as a semi-ironic self-descriptor. Sexual health advocates stress consent, safer sex practices, regular testing, and access to substance-use support for anyone engaging in chemsex.
