Le nostre due amiche si preparano per la festa lesbo. Una delle due (che chiameremo A) sta indossando il pene artificiale e chiede all'amica (B) quale pene scegliere:

A - What do you think? The right or the left.
B - Depends, are you topping or bottoming tonight.
A - Topping.
B - Do the left.

Ora come tradurre topping e bottoming?
