About
Top Me is a slang term used among LGBTQ fans of celebrities on Twitter inviting their favorite celebrities to dominate them sexually.
Origin
The phrase employs the "top/bottom" dynamic used in some queer relationships. An Urban Dictionary definition from 2003 defines "top" as a gay man who prefers to give than receive anal sex.[1] Over time, this evolved to mean the partner who takes the lead in sexual situations in queer relationships (shown below).[2]
In June of 2018, LGBTQ users began using the phrase "top me" as a means to gush about their favorite celebrities. One of the earliest known examples, posted June 2nd, was posted by Twitter user @kashymcgraths[3] with regards to Irish actress Katie McGrath (shown below).
