dunno.... for me it just works :) ....mabey I am not attached to roles ...and when it comes to it they are 2 GUYS so why not try both ways??...would be fun :) .....but the characters of both guys must be right for that...can't really imagine some really sweet delicate uke doing that to a masculine macho seme he he he.. I really like how it was shown in http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/sojou_no_koi_wa_nido_haneru/ (note there is prequel!) and in http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/neji_no_kaiten/ :)
Ahahah~ I think is because when you read a yaoi manga, you got that yaoi instinct on knowing who are the uke and seme. But some times you guess it wrongly. I would be kinda shock and surprise but not really hate it. Maybe I should put it this way, as what rangda ( one of the commenter ) had said,
"characters of both guys must be right for that...can't really imagine some really sweet delicate uke doing that to a masculine macho seme "
If that's the case, I would likely drop the manga. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea. ^^

Well, what you prefer in bed has got nothing to do with personality or body stucture. It's just about what feels good, you know? And an uke can be dominant, as well as an seme can be submissive.
I get that it's a preference but it's kinda like forcing the heterosexual stereotypes on homosexual couples imo. To make it more "normal" or whatever. I don't like it.
anyway if someone is interested I started doing a list for mangas with reversible couples :) http://www.mangago.me/home/mangalist/68441/
still at the process tought :)
Is that so? Where does your opinion come from? (I mean what did you observe)
Because I've met people with dominant personalities who are submissive in bed. And when it comes to gay sex, whether you like to receive or penetrative has got nothing to do with being dominant or submissive since the one topping can be submissive as well. So yeah.
I agree with you completely, but it's the yaoi itself that's the problem here
Mangas in general tend to stick to stereotypes and just rework them to infinity, and in yaoi we have this, a "girl" uke and a "man" seme. While it may make transition from shoujo to yaoi easier for some, it degrades the uke and the manga itself so much. We end up getting the epitome of manliness - the seme and a girl with a d*ck - the uke.
For most yaois preferences aren't even a question, the blushing maiden uke is perfectly happy to be always taken.
I ADORE BL i always felt the relationship between 2 guys was so much stronger then any girlxguy ones i found. And yaoi was my gateway to the BL world, but now i find it hard to get into any story. The characters are too one-dimensional, and the thing i care the most about in any book/LN/manga is well developed characters. Well this applies to manga in general for me, as well as for books.
I've became such a picky fan (● ̄(エ) ̄●)
Well, that's just the stereotype. There are plenty of BL where the uke isn't overly girly and the seme isn't overly manly. Although the annoying seme/uke roles still remain.. I wonder if this is ever going to change?
I also love BL (although, sometimes I ask myself why lol!). Well, I can't say I feel more for bxb than bxg (I used to be like that tho), it just depends on the couple.
I've also become more picky over years I've liked BL. I still enjoy most things that I read, but it's rare that I actually give a 7/10 score or more for a BL manga nowadays, haha (I score most of the recent ones I read 3-6. I mean on myanimelist btw). Feels like I've already read all the really good ones. People should make more long BL manga so that they have more time to develope the story and characters properly..
Why do BL hate reverse couples so much? And stop teasing me.
