    Excellent answer.

    I’d argue that the outfit in the meme is generally considered a Dom outfit which is what triggers the start of this thread.

    Although inaccurate it makes the point for the joke. A TOP image would be much more vulgar and hard to find a clean image for.

      Exactly.

      You can get away with a … relatively low nudity depiction of a person in a bondage suit.

      This also just generally conveys ‘sexually curious / active.’

      Whereas an actual, more literal depiction of topping someone would essentially by definition be so explicit as to be so blunt that … it isn’t as humorous, because your brain doesn’t have to do any work to ‘get’ the joke.

      Not to mention it would probably be censored, and thus far less people would see it.

      I dunno, maybe someone can, or has come up with a … ‘help me step-bro, I’m stuck in the washing machine!’ … type of image.

      Maybe a cowboy or cowgirl riding a bucking horse … would be sufficiently understandable visual metaphor?
