So a true switch is a switch, who just happens to switch during a session? Some advice, never use the term true or genuine or anything else that suggests that there is a perfect way of doing something as there isn't. There is just what works for whoever. As you can see the term 'true' has people having fun with the term. What you are looking for is someone who switches in a way that you like, which may be true for you and maybe a few others but isn't for most people.

Yep agree with that! I think those of a switch mentality are greatly misundertood.. Few I suspect enter into what I would agree might be a confused relationship wherein the 'power structure' cycles, and the quotes are since I use that tongue in cheek cos it just creases me up when people take the whole thing too bloody seriously. BUT I do think from a male perspective that anyone who finds a lady pleasing in suitable fetish gear that might make a conaservative vanilla partners exit left, and who finds power exchange a pleasurable feisty and intriguing aspect to a relationship would agree that the nature of that relationship would like any vanilla equivalent - unique to that individual relationship. Thus a switch is not a yo-yo but a rather more challenging sub to a dominant who seeks something other than complete aquiescence, or a dom who shows a great deal more sensual understanding, compassion, and interest in the pleasure of the sub than might otherwise be the case.

You will find very few professional Dommes (they're Dommes for a reason... because they're Dominant) who will switch professionally. A few, yes, and mostly - but not all - within the spanking scene rather than BDSM.
We're back to labels and definitions. I have a friend who considers that a switch is someone who plays both Dom/me and sub roles with the same play partner. It's a term, as others have said, which is more commonly used to refer to people who enjoy playing both roles, but with different play partners. I have trouble with fulcrum's definition. Many Dominants seek something other than complete acquiescence; many subs are more than subservient doormats (see 'Doormats' thread). Many Dominants show a tremendous amount of sensual understanding, compassion and interest in the pleasure of the sub. None of this makes the Dominants or subs involved 'switches'. The dynamic between two individuals is unique and changing: the above definition seems to trade in stereotypes.

If i submit to someone then I go deep into submission. If I was to hold back enough to be able to switch roles then I would not enjoy my submitting the same. However I have and do switch from Dom to sub in a single evening. However I can not see switching the other way around. hunnyB BDSM Our Way. Stories, Poetry and more.
