Dennis is a bottom:
the more they bluster and insist that thet're butch,
the much more likely that they take it in the tush.

I love that!

Also in reguarding Dennis being a bottom because he is such a "top" cant this line of thinking be applied to Travis, with more success?
Well, with equal success anyway. I would think.

Because of his difficulties with the idea of being gay, Dennis is very unlikely to be the instigator of any homosexual activity, and thus not likely to be the most active participant. It seems perfectly consistent to me.
I agree that Dennis is unlikely to initiate the sex, but that doesn't mean he's necessarily the "passive" partner once the sex is occurring. I'm imagining something that boils down to:
Travis: Let's have sex
Dennis: ...well...okay...I guess. But I'm not getting F-d, I'll top.
Travis: Whatever. (I'm sure Travis is versatile)

Okay, so I've come to a very psychoanalytical conclusion.
I suspect that although Travis would initiate any sexual activity, that Dennis would temporarily hold onto his dominant (non-sexual) role by being bit standoffish, completely emotionally-detached and dominant until his yearning for emotional connection and submissiveness and for being 'taken care of' (ie. by his neglectful parents) that is left unsatisfied in all other areas of his life would take over. Thus he would be bottom in the end.
An interesting evaluation. Seems plausible, although I still have a hunch that Dennis has thus far been topping. Actually I think in the end he'd be versatile too.
