I think it's wonderful when a person can fully embrace his/her desires and even moreso when they can find a partner who accepts who and what they are regardless how they choose to label themselves. I do however, agree with Mystress Dream's post above. There is a distinct difference between being dominant or a top and being submissive or a bottom and her explanation therein. All though dominant is my personality and was my main interest during early explorations of BDSM, my beginnings were of a very different flavor yet a necessary part of my personal growth. As one who formerly identified as a switch (read dominant with masochistic tendencies), I've been on both sides of the proverbial coin and made the choice to fully embrace my dominance and the "label" some years ago. Having been involved with a "closet" switch a while back and much against my better judgement, I can say from first hand experience the power struggle was ever present and his desire to dominate me was always just beneath the surface even though I encouraged him to find a submissive to fulfill that need. After much prodding, hinting and suggesting, I finally agreed to bottom just once but on my terms. It was a very emotionally charged spiritual experience that gave final closure to my switch identity... with no regrets. While I have nothing personal against those who choose to switch (individual reasons are irrelevant), I do choose not to form an intimate relationship with a switch. Been there, done that and it doesn't work for me. ~ Mz P
