Hey, legitimate "unaware of all the terms" here, but would someone be able to explain how and why this "top" thing is gay specific? As a straight person who has occasionally been near some also straight sexy related times, there's oftentimes also a top and bottom simply from the fact that there are 2 people there.

So "top" and "bottom" are used in LGBTQ circles to characterise not who is on top/bottom spatially, but more of a personality of active/passive, giving/receiving, or dominant/submissive. It's usually more about each person's energy rather than any physical action they may be doing. These meanings originated in gay culture and are usually confined there, though they can be applied to all kinds of sex.
