From my point of view: There are far more submissives in the lifestyle (overall, across gender lines) than there are Dominants. There are more females everywhere it seems, so the fact that there are far more female submissives than males is not really that unusual. There are also quite a few Dominant females who, like LAM said, are only dominant until they meet someone they wish to submit to. Those of us who are Dominant and only dominant are few and far between. Such is life. I dont know that its necessarily that it is more socially acceptable, as Fox chimed in, but that might be as well. The "typical" gender roles are easier to fall into. AS to how many of the lifestylers in each role are service oriented, masochistic or whatever... though, that would be where it broke for social norms. Female submissives are expected to be service oriented, but not always masochistic. And there are many male dominants that have started off as sub as well. There is a line of thinking that in order to be a good dominant, you have to have experienced being a submissive first. I dont necessarily agree with the idea, since I have never been submissive and I consider myself a good dominant. However, it does not make someone a switch, it just means they have grown and changed. If they go back and forth with their desires then they are a switch. if they choose one side or the other then they are either a D or an s, regardless of experience. My opinion, of course. Take it as you will DV
