I mean, the default is probably that they switch, and from there, you can imagine whatever you want depending on how you roleplay your character. For example, i could make a Trevelyan that likes to switch and other that likes to bottom.
I just don't even get the argument about tops and bottoms (and don't care for the labels anyway). Nearly every one of my male characters that's into men is a switch. If I have one with a preference, I try to have him go against type (so an elf that prefers to top, or something like that) because I find it silly to shoehorn people or characters into a single sexual trait. My elf rogue is a switch, my elf mage doesn't mind being the bottom, and my elf warrior prefers being top, but none of them would ever refuse changing it up.
It's less tedious to just ignore people that get hung up on that kind of thing.
My Trev likes to switch, and I do have reasons for it, which I won't be getting into here. Aside from those however, it's really however the mood strikes them (as in, both Dorian and IQ) at the time.
I mean, it's not like heterosexual couples all have sex the same way every single time either. I don't know why people expect this of gay men.
I sexualize Dorian all the time. He's a sexy flirt. lol! But seriously, Drawing pics, writing fics, etc involving Dorian and sex doesn't mean that is all there is to his character. And I have seen plenty of pics of Dorian in a non sexual way. Actually more than I have of him being naked, unless it's pics of his ass from the love scene, which I have seen plenty of .
I do understand the concerns of hypersexualizing a character who is considered an "other"(meaning nonwhite, gay, et al). I mean the same thing is done to black female characters in media to the point where there is even a term for it (Jezebel). But I don't see the same thing being done to Dorian, or at least I don't spend enough time in places where they are so I wouldn't know. No one wants a character that represents them to end up as a one note stereotype, that does suck. But I'm not seeing it with Dorian. I think that guy just needs to stop focusing on the uncreative types who lack imagination. And yeah if a person only sees Dorian as the gay bff with sage relationship advice or the pervy shower lurker then they do lack imagination.
If anything it's just another reason why no sane person should spend a lot of time on tumblr. lol!!
I might sympathize a bit more if the exact same thing weren't being done to Cullen as well. From my observations, rabid fangirls -- I know there are guys in this thread, but the fangirls take things to a new plane of rabidity -- treat their interests, whether that guy is gay or straight pretty equally.
