His role in that joke is one of agency and power, he is the one riding. Her role is one of submission, she is being ridden like a racehorse. Sex becomes something that is done to her, rather than something in which she is an equal participant.

But doesn't the woman ride the bloke? forgive me, it's been a long time I've probably forgotten.

Not in that joke. And maybe it would have been better had Dexter made the comment that way since the question he was being asked was whether or not she would hook up with a guy. In response he chose to make it about what the guy was going to do. He placed agency with the man in response to a question about what the woman was going to do.
