"The term ‘seme’ and ‘uke’ are meant to denote the roles of the characters in a pairing. For example, with the characters ‘alpha’ and ‘beta’, if ‘alpha’ is the dominant one, the order would be written : ‘alpha’x’beta’, or shortened to ‘alpbe’, etc. Here at the Institute, the seme-uke system subscribed to is the traditional Japanese system, where the ‘seme’ is the ‘attacker’, and the ‘uke’ is the ‘receiver’, a system that also stands where sexual intercourse is concerned."
