Gay men across a variety of countries label themselves by their preferences for insertive anal intercourse or receptive anal intercourse. A "top" is defined as someone who prefers the insertive role, a "bottom" as someone who prefers the receptive role, and "versatile" as someone who has no preferences regarding anal sex role. Previous studies documented that tops showed a masculine profile and bottoms showed a feminine profile in gendered personality traits. In this study, we examined the association among sexual self-label groups and empathizing-systemizing (E-S) cognitive styles among 509 gay men across multiple cities in China. There were significant differences in systemizing among sexual self-label groups, with tops scoring higher on systemizing than bottoms and versatiles. Tops were more likely to have S > E and high E and S cognitive styles than bottoms. Bottoms were more likely to have E > S and low E and S cognitive styles than tops. There was a significant indirect effect of systemizing on sexual self-label through Self-MF. There was also a significant indirect effect of sexual self-label on systemizing through Self-MF. The findings suggest that sexual self-labels among adult gay and bisexual men may reflect more than preferences for anal sex.
不同国家的男同性恋者根据他们对插入式肛交或接受式肛交的偏好来给自己贴上标签。“攻”被定义为偏好插入角色的人，“受”被定义为偏好接受角色的人，“通吃”则是对肛交角色没有偏好的人。先前的研究表明，在性别化人格特质方面，攻表现出男性化特征，受表现出女性化特征。在本研究中，我们调查了中国多个城市的509名男同性恋者的性自我标签组与共情-系统化（E-S）认知风格之间的关联。性自我标签组在系统化方面存在显著差异，攻在系统化方面的得分高于受和通吃者。攻比受更有可能具有S>E以及高E和S的认知风格。受比攻更有可能具有E>S以及低E和S的认知风格。系统化通过自我性别认同对性自我标签有显著的间接影响。性自我标签通过自我性别认同对系统化也有显著的间接影响。研究结果表明，成年男同性恋者和双性恋男性的性自我标签可能反映的不仅仅是对肛交的偏好。
