Generally speaking, when a pairing is presented the shorter of the two is presumed to be the submissive. This is a stereotype following that most girls are shorter then guys, and to be more feminine is to be shorter. It's obviously not a concrete rule, and has little significance when judging people outside the yaoi arena.


Ahh, so that's why I'm not feminine! Well, that was random...

But height usually doesn't matter in a yaoi relationship, but it does help establish who the uke is and who the seme is.

I prefer when the uke is smaller but that's me.

Personally, I generally end up with taller semes because I'm the one who plays them and it's fun to tower. But in non-roleplay setting I'm perfectly fine with having short semes. Even in roleplay it's just a habit to make them tall.

It's more fun when the seme is stronger though. That's my rule.

While I tend to agree with the "yes, it is more fun when the uke is shorter, but it doesn't really matter," I think it is even better and more realistic to have relationships where there is no set "uke" and "seme," thus making the question of height void. Personally, I've found that while one person may fit more easily into one role than the other, that people trade and are flexible. There are times when one is weak and when one is strong. So for me it is not so much about height as much as the roles in a relationship.

But maybe I'm reading too much into this. XD
