Just a question — is there a reverse to this trope? A character who is a Shrinking Violet type in daily life, but becomes dominant in bed?

I would expected a trope like this to be called "Always The Quiet Ones" or something, but the closest match I can find is Beware the Quiet Ones, which is defined much more broadly (but still fits, I guess).

The body, examples, and laconic page seem inconsistent in what the trope means by "aggressive".
Does it specifically mean they are sexually aggressive in looking for intimacy, but then submissive when they get it? Or does it mean their personality is generally aggressive, but when it comes to sex they're submissive, passive, or even fairly averse?
For instance, the Way of the House Husband example is basically about how Tatsu is super-intimidating to most people, but ridiculously submissive to his wife.
If either could count, the page should be rewritten to reflect that.
