its not necessarily "smaller and weaker" and "bigger and stronger" (although many times that is the case). its more like (and correct me guys if this sounds off cause i suck at explaining) the seme is the dominate one in the relationship and the uke is the opposite (and by opposite i do not mean necessarily submissive because many times theyre not..).

Not necessarily; the "Seme" is simply the Dominant one in the Relationship and the "Uke" is the Submissive one.

..I guess you're right; most of the time Ukes are portrayed as Unwilling Rape-Victims.

I'm not the best at explaining but I would say that the Uke is the one that "receives" and the Seme is the one that "gives". At least, that's how I think about it.

Emseeem said:
The words uke and seme come from the Japanese words 受ける(ukeru) and 攻める(semeru), which mean "to recieve" and "to attack" respectively. Basically, the attacker (seme) makes romantic advances and is the dominating partner during sex, while the receiver (uke) is just the object of the seme's affections.

At least, that's how it goes in typical BL archetypes.
