The "Top" is the person who dominates the sexual encounter, usually -- but not always -- the penetrator.

The "bottom" (traditionally, the word "Top" is capitalized and the word "bottom" isn't) is usually the person penetrated -- but again, not always.

The words originated with the leather/SM community, where the distinction is more dramatic.
