There seem to be this persistent confusion among both blossoming gays and executive gays* alike, when asked their preferred sex position and role. Many of them are at sixes and sevens.
They define those in shambolic, often contradictory ways.

Picking *all* of those labels *”just to be sure”* or worse, *”because I’m into everything lol”*, just shows you have no clue about what those terms mean.
You might as well pick none, because selecting them all does not say anything about your actual preferences.
It just lists all possibilities.
Sex Position
• If you enjoy to fuck — you are a TOP.
• If you enjoy to get fucked — you are a BOTTOM.
• If you enjoy both — you are VERSATILE.
Sexual Role
• If you enjoy to be in charge, to dominate your partner — you are a DOM.
• If you enjoy to be obedient and used — you are a SUB.
• If you enjoy both roles — you are a SWITCH.
Those labels are about what you enjoy the most and it can be tricky.
If you mostly enjoy to fuck, yet you will bend over occasionally —‘with the right guy’, as you say— you may be technically versatile, you still are a top. Just because you can do both does not make you versatile.
In the same manner, if you are a bottom boy yet more often than not, you are the one fucking your partners because of that amazing dick yours that makes them whimper, as they wait on all-fours — boy, you are doing it wrong! You are a bottom, for goodness' sake!
But wait, there's more. Each sex position can pair with any sexual role.
You may be a top/switch, for example, or a bottom/dom (aka the famous power bottom).
Despite what your Grindr may suggest, or what any trendy —therefore inane— youtubing loghorrea may have listed for you, there are several things you cannot be.
You cannot be a top/bottom. If you think you are, you are a versatile! That's what the word means — both. You cannot be a bottom/sub/switch. If you think you are, you are a bottom/switch.
You cannot be a "top/bottom/versatile/dom/sub/switch lol I like, like, everything lol." At this stage you are a raving idiot.
Fuck your dating apps. I don't care the options it gives you. They should have the 'have a functioning brain, thank you' option.
Test one. One. Two edited.
