ORIGINAL: allthatjaz Accept what though? Accept in himself that he is a switch or for his slave to accept he's a switch? Sorry if this was unclear: in my eyes, whether or not he is a switch is completely bloody irrelevant. There may or may not be prejudices against switches that he needs to combat. Personally, it's such a non-issue to me that I don't care. What I think he needs to accept is that you cannot lie to people. I don't care if you're gay or straight, male or female, dom sub or switch, whatever. If you're going to have multiple partners, you need to tell everyone involved and give them the chance to pull the ripcord. There is no way that anyone can consent to bdsm if their consent is not informed. Lying and cheating on your partners are just "rape lite" for the cowardly, so far as I'm concerned. It's not acceptable behavior. So far as the rest of your points about living as a switch go? I honestly don't know, and so can only defer to your greater experience in the matter. Maybe switches have it harder than others,but it seems to me that everyone in this community has a struggle both to accept who they are and to communicate to others what they want and don't want. None of us fit a mold perfectly, there are always adjustments needed. (Well, except for Boijen, but let's not bring her into this. )
