ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Please excuse me going off at a tangent here. Does anyone think that a submissive who has had several bad experiences can just switch roles ? ( i`m not talking about myself here lol ) I`m just curious if someone could just say " Enough " and do a full U-Turn. Also can someone be made to be submissive or is that something that is already deep within oneself. my own view is if you try and force someone who is not a natural submissive to be one, the relationship may work for a while, but resentment at being forced will eventually cause problems. [;)] Of course it is possible for someone to switch roles, but I believe that one has to be hard wired as a switch. I have personally found myself in that situation several times over the course of my life (that is, giving up trying to find a good fit with a domme, then changing course and going in the opposite direction because of frustration). I've also gone in the direction of vanilla (that is, little or no BDSM in the relationship). For me, neither works for very long. When we are talking about switching roles, I personally don't believe people who can switch are necessarily 50 percent sub and 50 percent dom/domme. In my case, I am much more sub than dom, and I completely indentify as a sub, but then I tend to attract submissive women -- or maybe it is because there are just more submissive woman (submissives people) in the market place. I don't know of any statistics to support this theory. I am only speaking from my own experience, which may or may not be the consensus of opinion here in this forum. I don't believe that it is healthy to hide who we are from ourselves, because it eventually does come back to haunt us. And if one pretends to be something that they are not, one also runs the risk of hurting others because of that self-deception.
