Survey: All-x, Some-x, or Half-n-half?

[c9]

(where x = top or bottom)

Straight boys and girls: less fun in today's survey for you. Bi boys and girls: this is for your same-sex relations. Gay boys and girls: have at it! Today's survey is not whether you're a top or a bottom. Today's survey is how much do you switch?

1. 100% whatever
2. 99% whatever - I switch very rarely
3. 90% whatever - Once out of every ten times I switch
4. 75% whatever
5. 50% - I go either way pretty equally

Again, as this is not a paid account, this survey is manual. I expect witty comments!

if you're refering to anal penetration, well, i don't do that.

not that i'm particularly opposed to it, but never having been in a relationship, i don't have much experience (read: barely any) with either being a top or bottom. and the experience i do have was quite unpleasant on both accounts. so why do it if i don't even like the guy?

[rebelprince26.livejournal.com]

however, i think an ideal relationship would be 50-50, no?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Well, the ideal is the one in which all parties are most satisfied, I think. Not everyone likes topping, not everyone likes bottoming.

Oh yeah, certainly having any sort of sex with someone you don't even like is going to be negative! And anal sex is not for everyone, I know several people who avoid it altogether and yet have all sorts of hot fun. It's all up to the individual.

It depends entirely on the relationship, I think. It's best to aim for 50/50 if neither person has a clear stated preference.

Hmmmmm, well, it's much harder to define for those of us who are just not that big on fucking period. But assuming I can move this to oral and "other sorts" of activities, I'd say maybe 75% or so....

Back in the day ...

99% top. Maybe once or twice I thought 'hey, might be fun, let's try trading' but I didn't like it. What can I say, I'm a control freak.

[zedinbed.livejournal.com]

I'm bottom but I'd say I would really get into topping 25% of the time.

I never was comfortable with the idea of being the 'bottom' as I saw it as a sign of weakness. Now, I can 'switch' to either role when I am comfortable with the guy.I'm glad I switched and added something new and fun to explore. As for a percentage..hmm, I'd say 80% (top) 20% (bottom). The problem for me too is my ass is over most people's head lol

"my ass is over most people's head"

I think that's a different activity, starting with R.

[rostin79.livejournal.com]

Used to be 100% top, only for hookups (since I wasn't really dating for awhile). But now, with the purchase of the toy, the percentage is near 50/50. rawr!

[ex-halfwitte432.livejournal.com]

Depends on the relationship dynamic, pretty much. I calibrate based on the other individuals strong proclivities.

[lifeofprad.livejournal.com]

60/40

[bonoboboy.livejournal.com]

I enjoy both equally ... it just depends on my mood. :D

[ratonil.livejournal.com]

I like to give... and I like to receive as well.

*wink*

If I can switch in one fuck, that's heaven for me.

[zedinbed.livejournal.com]

What's with not answering your own survey?

[c9.livejournal.com]

hahaha -- busy day at work!

depends on the relationship, but 60/40 ish.

[thespos]

I seem to be sliding from 5 to 1 on this list. It really depends on my partner, altho I have my own preferences. I have had partners where top & bottom didn't even factor in.

[miket61.livejournal.com]

I'm probably fifty-fifty. I think I'm like a lot of people in that I do not feel comfortable being a bottom for someone I don't know very well. Then again, I don't believe in that kind of activity at all with someone I don't know very well...

I deleted my last comment in favour of this one, which we can all agree is wittier

[nihilicious.livejournal.com]

60-40; results are considered accurate to within +/- 4.6%, 19 times out of 20.

Re: I deleted my last comment in favour of this one, which we can all agree is wittier

[c9.livejournal.com]

That is in fact wittier, 19 times out of 20.

[senhor.livejournal.com]

I thought married people didn't have sex.... ;)

I'd say it's about 80/20, but I'll leave you guessing as to who's the 80 and who's the 20.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Precisely my reasoning for asking that way. Many people are hesitant to describe the exact activities they like best, but are more willing to talk in more general terms.

I'll leave you guessing as to whether I already know. ;-)
