first things first, I think usuk and ukus are the same, they switch things up every now and then it's only fair. also I do picture Arthur is trans most of the time, whether that involves bottom surgery is up to my whims.

I also generally hate feminizing trans men and while I do think Arthur struggles with his masculinity and not feeling man enough he's more confident and himself when it comes to sex. he's generally shit with expressing feelings, that's just embarrassing to him. there's something freeing to him about sexuality like he feels more in control of the situation, especially with Alfred who is basically clueless. he did have to learn to take it down a notch so Alfred could keep up. I don't define Arthur as a top despite that, more like a verse if anything and he definitely likes being on the receiving end too.

and yeah Arthur is kinda fucked up about it and has used sex in the past for cheap instant gratification to avoid dealing with his feelings. I imagine he would have a lot of one night stands and a handful of exes, though I don't think he'd cheat on them even if his sex drive is very active.

with Alfred it's weird. he's definitely not the type of guy he would think he could find attractive, like physically. I don't think he has a thing especially for Alfred's weight, quite the contrary but he has realized he didn't need to change him to be able to love him and love being with him. with Alfred is by far the best relationship he's ever had and he finds him perfect in every other way, so the fact he's not his narrow idea of "hot" is miniscule. he loves him and that makes him beautiful.

I've hinted that before but Alfred is kinda insecure and he rarely feels confident enough to let Arthur touch him in places he doesn't like about himself. but Arthur really wants to lmao. maybe especially to embarrass him. but he isn't a jerk he wouldn't unless it's just teasing. which is a huge thing with them. i <3 usuk banter. I've written that one nsfw fic before that's basically all about embarrassing Alfred tho that didn't come across how I imagined.

one more thing I'll note there's that one post about "why do Americans kiss like they are hungry" because that describes Alfred pretty well I'd say lol.
