A bit of a personal question (31)

Long story short.. till I met my Master I had never had a submissive urge in my body, far to dominant although never realised it was dominance till recently...

After a few Okay lots of chats.. My Master and I realised that my true nature is dominant but that for some reason my Master just has me submit.. its not an act, its just the only way I can be around my Master.. Yet around all others ( including other dominants) I am dominant..

So after much soul searching we agreed that actually I am more a dominant Woman, that happens to have a submission to one person...

Now I am looking to explore this further, and finding that actually my submission to my Master has increased now that I am permitted to be dominant with others...

but is anyone else like this.. as I dont really see myself as a switch.. as if anyone else tries to dominant me it just does not work.. I dont have the urge to dominate my Master even playfully either..

I just wondered how seriously any future sub/slave would take me if I myself am actually a collared and owned slave to my Master..

Thanks for any advice.

I am and always have been my Masters Slave, from the day I was born I was his. I just didn't realise it till My Master claimed me.

An "Alpha slave" is a slave to their Master but may dominate other slaves, either as part of Master's slave family, or visiting slaves. This may be under instruction from their Master or under their own volition.

being a switch doesn't mean you are happy to be Dominant or submissive to anyone who pops up, that you swap roles to suit them. There are many switches who are only Dominant with one person, or only submissive to one person, yet take the opposite role with another person. I certainly have

As to the attitude of a potential sub, them knowing your are a sub to a particular Dominant, that will depend on them. I had a sub play-partner for nearly a year, and she knew I was a switch, occasionally playing with Dommes, without it bothering her. On the other hand, I have talked to subs who say they couldn't contemplate being sub to a switch.

Don't stress over it, if it works for you and your partner, enjoy it and forget about the labels.

be a switch, double your fun

It depends on so many things, of course. The problem that some men will have is that they might see themselves as being submissive to your master by proxy- based on the admittedly ropey reasoning that since he can command you to obey almost anything he says, then he can also command your slave, via you. And some men, like me, are just not able to be submissive to a man. To me personally, the submission thing is a part of how I relate to my romantic relationship partner alone, and since I'm not attracted to men, I'm not capable of feeling submissive towards them.

Another problem is that some men might perceive you as being less dominant, or less credible as a dominant, if you are also a slave to someone else. Some people's minds just work that way, no matter how you explain that you are only slave to one man.

A lot depends on whether you intend to have something resembling a full relationship with a slave, with sex and emotional connection, or just to play with them when it's convenient for both parties. And monogamists might be put off too- for a man who is looking for a monogamous 'full relationship', you already being in a relationship- even if only a 'play' based one- could be a problem.

But on the plus side, there doesn't appear to be any shortage of submissive men in the world, so even if some are put off by thoughts such as those, there are bound to be lots and lots of others who will jump at the chance to be your slave or sub.

However, I would add that not only, as Just_Tony said, might some submissive men feel uncomfortable about potential err...leadership issues, there are some who might get downright queasy at the thought of their Dominant being manhandled, flogged, or otherwise used.

A lot of people keep the two scenarios well apart to prevent respect dimenishing, etc.

But basically, it is whatever works for you and makes you happy! There are no rules!

Good luck.

Master and I are discussing that like two parents wouldnt (or shouldnt) undermine each other.. that it would not be good of me to be undermined where the sub/slave was concerned..

I think that the best thing is to be totally honest with all that are involved and carry on communications all around..

I have had some lovely pms from people in similar situations and its made me feel a bit better..

To be fair my biggest issue is with labels.. labels are things that I think should be banned in many ways.

Thank you all

That doesn't make everyone a switch though because we can still choose who we have relationships with

Ehhh, the boxes are a bugger.

I am switch, 100%, but haven't met anyone in a while who I have the urge to submit to. My dominant side however is very well fed

Different people bring out different things - if you are blessed with someone in your life who can meet your submissive wants while being happy for you to meet you Dominant wants with others then that is a wonderful thing.

As far as anyone else taking you seriously for what you are, well, if they are narrow minded enough not to take you seriously then are they worthy of your attention in the first place?

My partner is free to Domme whoever she chooses as long as she talks to me about it first and that works wonderfully because, as you have found, being in a relationship where you are allowed and encouraged to meet all aspects of your personality makes for a fuller and richer life.

Very best of luck with it
