"Switch" is often misused (I've done it myself before) and mistaken for being the same as "reversible," but it's not. "Switch/Switching" is a dynamic in BDSM where someone can be both sadistic and masochistic, and it also refers to the title of being both dominant and submissive (as in "switching" roles). Meanwhile, "reversible" refers to someone who can both bottom and top. Since using "switch" to describe actually reversible relationships took off (even as a mistaken identity), the latter word hasn't been used as much in fiction.
