Are switch couples uncommon in real life?

Yes... it's very uncommon, you can say it's rare to see switch couples

I assumed it was but just had to make sure

Switch couples are the most common couples in queer relationships. Those ideals about top and bottom are usually just ppl putting heteronormative roles in a non straight relationship.

It maybe to you... but as far as I've known, most of them like to stay as top or as bottom... though I do agree that some might like to be flexible and do both sometimes... (=・ω・=)

All the real life gay couples I know are switch. The top/bottom thing seems to be a Yaoi thing.

Mostly couples in a queen relationship are switch. Its just yaoi assuming all top/bot stuff.

Big facts

I'm switch... I do bottoming and topping...
