Do lesbians have a concept of Top and Bottom? (lemmy.world)

It's been a long ol time since I've known any lesbians well enough to ask such things, but I followed my brain down a weird line of inquiry, and got to wondering about the current state of the art for the gay gals. I guess I had always assumed it was similar to the dynamics of a gay guy relationship, but then I realized that since men have both an input and an output, they can choose, but it's mechanically a bit different for cis women. Is there any relationship between that, and the slightly more masculine versus feminine flavors? Asking for a friend, who is me. I want to know. Thanks.

A lesbian couple on Twitch got asked who the top and who the bottom was. They said they switched.

No idea what that means mechanically.

Probably like a Nintendo Switch

No, at that time they didn't have a Nintendo Switch yet. A PS5 for Baldur's Gate 3 was their first console.

Is that the one where you slide the joycons in and out trying to get the console to recognize and assign the joycons?

And there's an affable Miyamoto head smiling down on them like mufasa
