Usually the case in lot of yaoi novels, the seme is is sadistic and in control. This author obviously insightful and prayerful.. If you are new to it GET THIS BOOK. I found the first two interesting enough to read, but found the final two not as compelling. So we have that mystery. In the concluding chapters, however, White and Gribbin pay tribute to today's science of sociobiology in providing many answers to this seeming conundrum.
