Sesame, I love you, but you are WAY over simplifying all things sexual/intimate. If everything boils down to that dichotomy, why not ask for people to express their preference to be a "top" or "bottom?" "Submissive" or "masculine?" I'm sure that you would find a WIDE range of sexuality that appreciates submissive masculinity, submissive feminimity, dominant masculinity, dominant feminimity, etc. Further, your reckoning doesn't even take into account homosexual men, nor does it account for a relationship where the partners are seemingly matched in terms of switching ends of being "receiving" and "giving" on a more or less equal basis. Sorry if you feel the need to justify your own communications by pigeonholing people into a finite set of categories-- I myself do not follow this trend.
