Sexual Roles and Archetypes: 67 PLANJUS glossary terms and guides, including "Bottom" Role, "Generous" and PnP Room, "Gift Giver".

• "Bottom" Role — In the world of gay sex, the terms "active" and "passive" are everywhere. If you're new to it, it might seem a bit rigid, but basically, it describes who does what during penetration.
• "Generous" and PnP Room — On English-speaking apps, "generous" is a password. It's a code that means "I have the product and I provide it." It's an invitation to a PnP (Party and Play) plan, a promise that the evening will not only be sexual but also chemical.
• "Gift Giver" — In the lexicon of bareback, some terms are darker than others. "Gift Giver" is one of them.
• "Juicy Hole" Definition in french slang — Juicy holes are, as you might guess, warm and moist places on the human body where sunlight often refuses to penetrate, but where our cocks love to engage!
