I wouldn't use the word "fight" to describe this, as it sounds very negative, but...yes, I have challenged my Master. I did it especially in the beginning of our relationship and when I first met him, and sometimes I still do it. It's absolutely not because I'm "testing his dominance"--I never needed to do that, as his competence, assertiveness, and dominance was always crystal clear to me. And that was precisely why I challenged him. Because I was stubborn and not used to deferring to anyone. It felt weird to be internally compelled to defer to and follow someone, and so I'd get this feeling of indignation and stubbornness, which fueled me to challenge him. Physically or psychologically. It was always done in good fun and very playful--I have always liked a good challenge, and I knew that. The thing that I didn't know until I met him was that what I needed was to be challenged and lose. I'd challenge him and he'd stand his ground, play along, and take me down. That "take down" (thank you ProlificNeeds for the wording for that--the that was described felt very much like what I'm trying to get across here) felt good and right. Over time I came to terms with my nature to follow, defer to, and obey him...so I stopped challenging him so much. It was very much an internal issue of acceptance towards being who I am with him. Nowadays, I still playfully "challenge" him at times, and sometimes he initiates it as well. Because it's fun for us, wrestling back and forth, and he always comes out on top (which is the best part. ) In a way it is a very intimate way that we show our affection for each other.
