I would guess that allowing a submissive to take the reigns every so often would be similar to a couple of different scenarios: - Someone deciding to take charge of their partner after a hard day. Greeting their loved one at the door, getting their coat off, getting them seated and warm and cozy, bringing them their favorite drink while their favorite dinner finishing cooking or cooling, along with their medication. Making sure that said dinner was appropriate for any dietary restrictions our target person was on, and giving our target a look if they tried to bypass their health, offering a foot rub and/or pedicure, guiding our target person to bed over protests that they have to check their work mail or somesuch, pleasuring our target if said person is up for it, tucking them in and then sneaking back downstairs to clean up.
- Giving oral sex. The active partner is often considered to be the submissive one, pleasuring the receiving partner. However, the active partner is in charge of the recipient's pleasure, comfort and -- let's face it -- safety. Putting one's genitals near somebody else's teeth gives that person a great deal of responsibility. There are active partners who do whatever they want, bite and shift the receiving partner around when the active partner feels like it. Hopefully these people don't get laid too often. It's the people who realize the trust that's been put in them and do their damnedest to live up to the responsibility, to customize what they're doing based on what they know about their partner -- even if they're trying something knew, who are my main concern here.
I understand that the original poster wasn't talking about sex, but it's a good analogy -- servicing someone doesn't have to be exactly the same as even service topping them, but it does run a parallel. The big difference is attitude.
