ORIGINAL: SocratesNot How do Dom / Domme couples function? Do they always need to have some submissives? Can it be an egalitarian relationship or is one usually owned by the other, despite being a dominant? In their relationship (not including other people) do they usually switch with each other or stick to vanilla-like dynamics? Any such couples here who could let me know about their experiences first hand? I won't speak for everybody here. As a member of what is easiest described as a D/D couple, I'll tell you how it works for us. In our relationship with each other, we are like any other couple that you would want to meet. There is no power play between us. Neither is in service to the other. There isn't one of us that has authority over the other. We compromise when we don't agree. It literally is 50/50. The only thing that swings power in the household is who actually has a submissive. Anyone collared to Me is collared to Me alone. My other half doesn't make decisions in regard to My dynamic with clip or anyone else who has been in service to Me. They interact as friends. The orientation doesn't come into it. In My opinion, if you have a couple that is D/D, but one is actually submissive toward the other, you really have a D/switch couple. Even if the person is only submissive to the spouse, it still counts in My book. That's not what happens in My household, so I'll move on. As I said in the beginning, it's easiest to call us a D/D couple. A more accurate label would be a M/T (Mistress/Top) couple. I'm a leather/protocol person with more experience in the lifestyle than he has. While he has a Dominant personality, he's never had a submissive of his own. To Me, that doesn't equate a Dominant any more than someone who has never been married is a husband. A huge majority of the topping skills that he has, I've taught him, and he'll gladly admit that. It doesn't change how we interact. It's just an area of life that I have more experience than he does.
