Important Question- Help!

tarotgalI've got a question for all you slash connoisseurs out there...
I'm writing a story where the whole point of it is for a character to lose his virginity. But I'm stuck at the portion where he actually *does* the deed. The block is that I cannot figure out if he should be topping or bottoming. He's the sort of character who could go either way, as is his partner at the moment (who is very much not a virgin).
So the question I ask is: as a reader, when you want a "first time" and "virginity-losing" fic, what would you expect to see- the character getting fucked up the arse or the character doing the fucking? Or would it not matter to you so long as his virginity to that point was well-established and clearly he's having sex of some sort.
I can see it either way... but I think maybe readers might consider one over the other to be more of an act of losing virginity for a gay man. So, yeah, that's why I'm asking.
Any thoughts?
