I dont switch, i am a switch both domme and sub simultaneously. I live as a submissive to my husband. The relationship is years old. The relationship is strictly monogamous. During play, if i want to do something, i do it, he's a big lad, he'll tell me if he's not up for that activity that night or not. We dont have rules of this is sub play territory, this is dom play territory. We work on a premise of if we enjoy it, its a go. But that's a situation we have developed, using a loving trusting relationship. Sure when we started out together, its funny to remember that he wouldnt kneel down LMAO, even when it would of been a excellent positon! On the reverse, there have been times in life, where he's been much less of a dominant than my fantasy expected. Where he's fallen in a heap, and ive had to take the wheel. I consider that to be a form of loving each other. Being adaptable is a trait that should be nutured in any loving supportive relationship, not just by switches. Only the foolish and often single/separated are rigid in their expectations/demands from their partners. I realise this is from a perspective of within a relationship. Prior to a life partner, in a play partner situation, id say that im more inclined to have expectations of the other, and they of me. If i need to be beaten, punished, humiliated, im unlikely to gain this from a person who doesnt enjoy that dynamic. The person who doesnt enjoy the humiliation side of things, is not entirely relegated to the submissive. Could be a loving sensuous dom/me. Could just be a person who doesnt do humiliation. Ive found that those who are stict protocol types, are not for me. But respect that for others, its a must. After years together as a couple, my Dominant still does not understand what a switch is in bdsm. And that's fine with me, coz nor do i. I dont understand the mentality of a constant dominant either. We dont need to understand. All we need is the common denominator of wishing to enjoy each other, ALL of each other. I do have some thoughts that as a person who can gain pleasure in play from either side of things and all that lies on that continuum, that im a very very lucky girl[:D] pv
