Haha I've had people straight up not believe me and accuse me of being misogynist when I told them I don't bottom and never have. Yes, I know perfectly well that you can top from the bottom. No, my disinterest in bottoming has nothing to do with the idea of 'penetration = being the woman'. Lots of people enjoy bottoming, I agree. But it plain and simple doesn't interest me and I don't have any inclination to try it out.

I don't eat yogurt, either, and never have. I know perfectly well that it can have the same texture of other foods I like. No, my disinterest in it has nothing to do with the idea that it's considered an 'unmasculine' food. Lots of people love yogurt. But it doesn't interest me and I don't have any inclination to try it out.

If you love either one, that's great for you but if you insist I have to try either of those to make sure I don't like it because this is somehow just that personally important to you, I'm going to refuse, thank you, and think you have strange priorities. Doubly so for the first one because jesus what I do with my body is none of your business.

If someone were writing me in a romance, this would be a defining point. I don't see how it's so hard for people to understand that it can also be characters' defining points, when they're written in a romance. And if that point changed well maybe that's not a story you want to read any more. /shrug

This is hilarious to me btw.

Girl: NO COCKS IN MY ASS! DNW!
Everyone's first reaction: Good for you, if anyone pressures you they're creeps! Don't do anything you don't want to do!

Guy: NO COCKS IN MY ASS! DNW!
Everyone first reaction: OMG burn the homophobe!

You know it's true.

Pretty much this, yeah.

I also find it weird when people cite real life. I think a lot of people who have defined preferences, whether in kink or sex or both together, have tried mixing things up or doing things different. (But I think there's nothing wrong with not doing so.)

But, well, characters are not people whose lives we see every moment of. We see the important moments, the moments that are part of their story. If their romance is about what they're normally like, there's no real reason not to skip any exception-making moments. (A story might be about those moments -- say, Jake really would prefer to bottom but thinks it's unmanly so he's always topped, and the whole story is about Steve teaching him to let go of his hangups and be himself. But that's... not most yaoi.)

And not everyone's life even has exception-making moments anyway.

Real people don't always do everything. It seems we should care LESS whether characters do, not MORE.
