In intercourse between men, one of the partners typically assumes the role of an insertive partner (top) while the other assumes a receptive role (bottom). Although some research suggests that the perceptions of potential partners’ sexual roles in gay men’s relationships can affect whether a man will adopt the role of top or bottom during sexual intercourse, it remains unclear whether sexual roles could be perceived accurately by naïve observers. In Study 1, we found that naïve observers were able to discern men’s sexual roles from photos of their faces with accuracy that was significantly greater than chance guessing. Moreover, in Study 2, we determined that the relationship between men’s perceived and actual sexual roles was mediated by perceived masculinity. Together, these results suggest that people rely on perceptions of characteristics relevant to stereotypical male–female gender roles and heterosexual relationships to accurately infer sexual roles in same-sex relationships. Thus, same-sex relationships and sexual behavior may be perceptually framed, understood, and possibly structured in ways similar to stereotypes about opposite-sex relationships, suggesting that people may rely on these inferences to form accurate perceptions.

  1. To me a man is a man color means nothing I love them all. I will take this hot top anytime, I’d take the bottom if he’s versatile too 🙂

  2. I had to laugh at this… so … in essence, all straight people regard same sex partnerships to be equitable on every level to their own – forgetting that heterosexual partnerships are between a man and a woman… so they are totally unlike any same sex partnership which is usually… guess what? a man and a man or a woman and a woman or George W Bush and a monkey…

    The stereotyping always happens. In every cultural setting. It’s touching on what is generally known about parts of that culture… in this instance… “Accurate ID of sexual roles in gay relationships”

    I’ll generalise…Most men see sex as penetration. It’s all about them. They cannot view sex in any other way. Most men. Not all of us. Just the majority (who are not all that far removed from apes or baboons in like-minded mentalities.)

    Which is when I began to laugh at the comments left thus far…

  3. I think it is simpler. I an active bottom. As a receptive bottom I can be used almost as long as I like. As a top I am strictly a one shot pony and a sprinter at that.

    At my age I am firmly into bdsm which heightens my pleasures, hopefully your too, while keeping my sexual urge at a simmer.

  4. I can tell a quasi-woman a mile away and I think all of you can too… unless you identify as quasi-women in which case I’m sure you think you’re the most desirable dead-fuck in the world.

  5. Very interesting article, wish that I could have read more about it. Definitely love the pics that went with the post. Gorgeous men and it was just hot!

  6. Thank-you. I’ve always enjoyed playing the game “who’s gonna be the fucker or fuckee” when watching a porn flick for the first time. Also, the great writer Marcel Proust took several hundred pages in Swann’s Way to debate who has more power – the kisser or the kissee.
