When you read a lot of yaoi manga you soon get acquainted with the different tropes that you can find in the stories. Of course, we like some more than others. It can also happen that some things go unnoticed while we are too engrossed with a particularly steamy sex scene (?) between the characters. We’re here to take a look at an interesting “trope” that’s been going on for a while now in yaoi manga.

Rough and Hasty

We get it, sometimes the seme is too desperate to put it in to even think about taking off his pants. It’s not like we’re complaining: we love it when the sex gets too hasty and they can’t take their hands off each other for even a second. But more often than not, the uke ends up butt naked while the seme gets to keep his pants, and on occasions his shirt, on. Sometimes, there’s no foreplay whatsoever, but it feels more like something that needs to be taken care of. The seme will come up to the uke, rile him up, make him beg for his ass to be penetrated, and, after taking not even two seconds to undress his partner, the seme will just unbutton his pants and proceed to do the nasty (lol). Of course, most of the time, the uke is onboard with this behavior, but it can also happen that they want to be embraced gently by their lover and all they get is rough sex on the floor.

Morinaga has recently changed classrooms and he’s getting used to his new classmates. Among them is Kiryuu, the flashy and popular prince, who happens to be the one who sits next to him in class. After falling head over heels for Morinaga’s serious and stoic attitude, Kiryuu starts following him around, trying to become closer to him. Little does Morinaga know that the charming prince has a particular fetish… One day, after club practice, Kiryuu is waiting for Morinaga and he can’t help but kiss him. Morinaga is more flustered than surprised and states that he’s very sweaty; Kiryuu doesn’t waste time and confesses that it’s his smell that turns him on. Things start to get a little too steamy between these two: Kiryuu makes sure to take Morinaga’s uniform off while he touches him all over. When the time comes to finally put it in, the charming prince shows his rough side, not lingering on the fact that he’s still fully dressed. Kiryuu unzips his pants and penetrates Morinaga, without thinking that his uniform might get a little bit dirty.


Does it make the uke look vulnerable?

Of course, when we see the seme fully dressed and the uke lying in bed, with no clothes on, we can’t help but think that he’s being put in a vulnerable position. There’s an element of dominance in the fact that the top gets to keep his clothes on while the bottom is exposed, his butt and dick out there for all of us to see. While some semes might take their time to see how their partners are doing, others are only thinking about their own pleasure. This is crystal clear when we see a seme touching the uke in a rough and hurried manner just to get him hard, or when the bottom is forced to suck his partner’s cock (?). Usually, the uke will have an expression of pleasure and will be asking for more, but sometimes they are just not too into being pinned down. When we see a seme with his pants on, we can’t help but think that he doesn’t care enough for his partner to go through the trouble of getting undressed. Needless to say, this is usually not the case, but it still makes the uke look like he’s in an inferior position compared to his partner.

All that Leo wants to do on his first hot spring trip is to act like a couple with his boyfriend, but things don’t go the way he wants. His boyfriend is too concerned with appearances, so he avoids behaving like a couple in public. Annoyed by his attitude, Leo wanders around the halls and meets Ryouta, a calm-looking man who spikes his interest. What will happen when Leo discovers that Ryouta has a very nasty personality? Leo’s trip is about to take a turn when he crosses paths with Ryouta, a seemingly normal guy. Little does this uke know that behind those glasses, there’s a sadistic man looking for his next victim. And things get spicy way too quickly when Leo gets more than he bargained for. He starts by trying to seduce Ryouta in the hot springs but ends up being fucked on a massage chair while the vibration stimulates his front. While he’s naked, Ryouta just takes his dick out and impales (?) him. And this is only the beginning of the relationship between these two. On several more occasions, Ryouta makes Leo beg for more and, while the uke is naked, he remains almost fully clothed.


It’s not always the seme’s fault

We’ve been going on about how it seems that the seme is too hasty and just wants to have sex, but sometimes they don’t get enough time to get rid of their trousers. It seems that, every so often, it is the uke who just can’t wait to get his ass penetrated, jumping on the seme and unzipping his pants. It is a common thing for the bottom to prepare his ass beforehand so that he can get straight down to business the moment he lays hands on his partner’s crotch. Credit where credit is due, sometimes the seme wants to behave properly and get rid of his clothes but the uke won’t allow it: ukes can also be a little bit too hasty and even rough with their loved ones. Again, we don’t mind this, because it gives us the chance to see some deliciously raunchy sex between a sex-starved uke and a more-than-willing seme. It gives the bottom an air of dominance that adds a great touch to the steamy scenes. Be it giving a blowjob, sitting on top of the seme, or suggesting some kinky foreplay, we love a uke who’s in complete control of the situation.

Yukinari has been working really hard to get a promotion and be transferred to the sports section of the magazine that he works for. In order to do that, he needs to find a juicy scoop and he decides that Subaru Nagare, a popular and charming idol, is the perfect target. After discovering that Subaru was his classmate back in school, Yukinari takes the opportunity to visit him at his place. It doesn’t take long for Yukinari to discover that Subaru has more than catching up in mind. Not long after he arrives at Subaru’s place, Yukinari finds himself in a strange position: sitting down with Subaru on top of him. Turns out that the charming prince has a thing for recording sex tapes, and has decided that his old classmate is the perfect partner to do that. During one of his visits, Yukinari doesn’t have time to take off his pants because, immediately after he enters the apartment, Subaru tells him that his ass is ready to take Yukinari’s dick (in) and goes straight for the zipper. We love it when the uke takes the initiative!


Final Thoughts

You’ll start to notice that there is a lot of yaoi manga where the seme decides, for whatever reason, to keep his pants on. As long as it’s not done to humiliate the uke, we’re completely on board with this trope. It speaks volumes of the seme’s personality and, in some cases, it can also show something about the uke’s.
