Gender Identification Requirement! Why?

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.

Ok, Ok, GRH,
I am not over-generalizing the nature of relations.
My idea is, whatever the gender of the partners are, in a longterm relationship... they gradually fall back into the two stereotype behaviors of nature: masculine and feminine. And I am not only referring to sexual relations.

submissive masculinity, submissive feminimity, dominant masculinity, dominant feminimity

If partners switch ends frequently... maybe they are experimenting, OR,
Those can be described as getting a kick out of role playing, may be?

Ouch, baby, that sounds like an attack!
I am only expressing my view; I ain't sticking labels on anyone in particular. Its just an opinion. If you disagree, tell me your point of view. I am always interested.
