Switching subs?

[(null).exe]

There are many subs out there who enjoy Dominating other subs. Does this make them switches? Or are they just subs with alpha sub tendencies? Is a sub in a 3-some who subs to the Dom but Doms the other sub a switch or an alpha sub?

That's what it all comes down to doesn't it?

I'm inherently submissive; however, my wife is also sub. When we go out to play with others, we have a few friends who are quite wonderfully dominant with us both, but when we are alone, I play the dom (and here's the point), and I ENJOY it. Therefore, I am switch.

Switching is not inherent, like dominance or submission. Switching (and the act of being a switch), comes from the necessity or desire to fulfill a role outside your norm.

In direct response to delia: A normally submissive person who is directed to dom another sub is an alpha sub. A normally submissive person who volunteers to dom another sub is a switch.

Personally I have found that it depends on the mood at the time.

Myself, I am inclined to be dom during the day (at work) but find it to be a relaxing relief to be a sub when I get home. With my partner we enjoy the ability to assume a given role (and we both tend toward the dom side of things), and with us both being very strong-willed personalities it works well in the relationship to give in at times.

Somewhat perversely, we have times where we both want to be the sub or the dom, but that simply adds excitement while we determine who's going to take on which role that day, or that hour, or that moment.

This is not actually true.
