It is my opinion that you cannot look back on your childhood and compare what you may have done then for fun and match it up to your sexuality (or sexual orientation, or sexual preference) now. When you look back at your life, you can compare just about anything you wish to what you do now. But some of it can be a bit silly.
For instance, when I was little, my friends and I would play "The world is coming to an end, lets save all the women!" We girls (though there were more of us than boys) would run around and gush about danger, and the boys would come and grab us and usher us to safety under the plastic Fischer Price slide/jungle gym. When we were all stuffed under the thing, we'd be saved, and the boys would sit on top of the gym and shoot invisible bad guys with invisible guns.
Does this really say anything about me other than I was a kid who liked to play pretend? Do I have any actual qualifications to dig into my psyche as a 9 year old girl and try to determine what this might say about me as a submissive and dominant person?
For a more silly example, my friends once peer-pressured me into eating grass (the kind that grows in the ground). So, I ate grass. I couldn't tell you it tasted good, but it certainly impressed my friends. When I look back at this, can I say that my submissive side was showing because I wanted to be liked and would do anything they said? Or perhaps it says that I was used to eating grass because, in a past life, I was a cow.
I think all it means, and all that your roping tricks and knife tricks mean, is that we were children, and like any child, we enjoyed having fun and making friends.
PS: By no means does this mean that I don't think submission or dominance can't be a part of our lives as children. But, when I think of how I might have been submissive as a child, I think that I had a warm, giving, kind personality, not what kind of dolls I played with, or how I was around my competitive classmates.
