To "top" or to "bottom" in personal ads can refer to either male homosexual acts or bondage-domination / sado-masochism (or "bdsm") acts. In bdsm, "topping" is being the dominant person in a consentual situation involving humiliation, physical pain, tying up or any number of fringe sexual practices. "Bottoming" is being the submissive in this type of activity. In homosexual intimacy, these terms usually refer to anal sex where the "top" gives and the "bottom" receives.

In short, when you see "top" in a personal ad, it refers to a person being the aggressor, and the "bottom" being the submissive or receiver.
