"I wouldn't class myself as either." Yep, I should have said, neither would I. There are times i like to be submissive and times i like to take control. I'm more curious about those that prefer to be one way or the other all the time. | |||

"I'm naturally submissive sexually, I prefer to receive instructions rather than give them. I did have an old play partner I tried to switch with, but I don't have a Dominant bone in my body and it all felt forced and awkward. Don't get me wrong, I am playful and enjoy tying and teasing a guy, but I'm not Dominant with it. It's about his pleasure and he is always still in charge ![]() ![]() Definitely ![]() | |||

"I lean towards the sub side, but very very very few get that side from me. I always need to be in control of my surroundings, plans, all of that because I get really rather anxious. I get worried about myself in case people think I'm a bit weird or whatever so I find I'm often on guard like that. So when I find someone I can be myself around, and trust them with my mind and body, it completely relaxes me and soothes me." I could certainly see how you would need to completely trust the other person to relax and slip into a comfortable but submissive role. I would be similar in my normal lifethat I feel I like to be in control of me and what goes on for me as much as possible ![]() | |||

"I’m naturally submissive. Not to the extremes though. I have a job where I have to be in control of my actions and behaviour all the time, I have to make quick decisions sometimes under immense pressure, as well as putting hands on people physically. I like to give up that control in the bedroom." This is the type of answer I already mentioned with my friend that I expected. A person in control during the day to day but then wanting to give up control in the bedroom. I can totally get this ![]() | |||

"I'm submissive - mostly because I am always in control in my personal life and I like to have someone else take over. It isn't a 'artifical label or whatever was stated earlier, it is something inherent in me and as much part of my personality as anything else. However it isn't something just anyone sees. " As above, you gotta be very comfortable with the person before you show them your submissive side? | |||

"How did you find your dom to play that role? This was something else my friend and I spoke about. They said that many guys would say they are dom but when it came down to it they didn't overly know what they were doing in that role and seemed to be winging it which felt off putting. [/quote ![]() Trust seems to be, and rightly so, very important before properly immersing yourself in one of these roles with someone. Hopefully you build that over time and get to delve a little deeper and beyond dom light to dom heavy, if that's what you want as things progress ![]() | |||

"I'm 100% dom. For me, the most important factors are mutual respect and trust, both of which have to be earned. I like to make a collar (I make them in brass) for subs who have handed their soul and their body over to me. It signifies the relationship between the master and his sub in much the same way a ring symbolises a vanilla relationship." Brilliant! Good to hear from a doms perspective (I think I missed one above last night ![]() ![]() | |||

It signifies the relationship between the master and his sub in much the same way a ring symbolises a vanilla relationship. Brilliant! Good to hear from a doms perspective (I think I missed one above last night ![]() ![]() Oh good question.... let me put it this way. About two years ago I welcomed a very wonderful woman to my place in Spain for training. She stayed for two weeks (and another two later on). She came a vanilla housewife and left a fully submissive slave, collared 24/7, chained to my bed at night, obedient and willing to bring the lube and cane when told to. She said it was like having the door opened to a whole new life, which she found rich, satisfying and rewarding. She understood that whatever I had in store for her, even those things that others would find humiliating or painful, it came with the special loving bond that exists in a Ds relationship. She craved her master owning her, and loved being treated like a whore in the bedroom and dungeon and a princess when out and about. For me, there was a feeling of immense pride in having led her on that journey. And grateful respect at being granted unconditional access to her body and soul. It doesn't suit every woman, but to those who have the submissive gene it makes total sense. Is that an answer? | |||

Good to hear from a doms perspective (I think I missed one above last night ![]() ![]() That's the fookin answer alright! So you get as much pleasure from leading a willing sub further into the sub/dom lifestyle, as you do from the actual acts of sex that might take place. And she took pleasure because she felt your trust, a bond and a shared love between the two of you, and obviously because she was submitting to your will. I couldn't ask for a better answer pal, not that there are winners lol, but you've given me a better understanding of how a dom might think and thank you for that. Also, the fact that you mentioned a "loving bond" took the old idea that I might have had when I first heard of sub/dom years ago that it was an act based on putting the sub down and making them feel lesser than the master. Thanks again for that ![]() | |||

"Oh and p.s. I disagree completely with any notion of *any* role being the "best way to be" other than the one we each take for ourselves - when it's an innate and natural thing any other role just feels alien, forced and unnatural." Thank you for that mate! Again, I think fluidity and experience in all aspects is the best way to be so as not to limit your pleasure in any way. I wouldn't have put you as a sub, your comments on threads gave me the impression that you were assertive which I mistakenly thought would see you as a more dominant player in the bedroom. I say assertive, maybe not the nest word, but its early and I'm struggling to find a better one lol I do understand that not everyone will see your submissive side, like others have said, certain things require trust and a great level of comfort between those involved. Thank you for your extensive answer pal ![]() | |||

As for your second point, a common misconception about submissives is that we're weak and meak people who are unable to assert themselves or express an opinion and need someone else to take control in all aspects of their life - that couldn't be further from the truth and there's an argument that to give submission takes a degree of strength and control that goes beyond that required to take it. Just because I'm a submissive doesn't mean I don't have a brain or an opinion or am scared to express it, which I know isn't what you were saying, but may go a way to explaining misconceptions and perceptions. | |||

" I would say that type of misconception I initially had myself ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a common and natural conclusion for those that don't know or understand BDSM to jump to - not only because of the stereotyped "pathetic little worm" depiction in the media etc - but because someone giving over control would *seem* to be weak to an outsider. As has been said, and it *is* a bit of a cliche, but a very true one for some - for some submissives it's about relinquishing power as a stress relief from incredibly dominant day to day roles. The reality, as I said, is quite the opposite - giving yourself takes a degree of inner strength to be able to say "I am handing control to you to do with me as you desire" (within limits of course). Learning is always good, it's how we evolve and understand ![]() ![]() | |||

"Everyday is a school day and there is no one true way of being Dom, sub, Master or slave. Find and forge your own path. Be mindful that others can provide advice and guidance, but as with every other type of relationship each one is unique to the people involved. There are a lot of misconceptions in the BDSM world, the main thing is to keep your eyes and ears open and not be blinkered. not every sub is a masochist and not every masochist is a sub is the one I come across most often. People assume to be sub is to enjoy pain. A Master is a promoted Sir, and a slave is a promoted sub, so people like to refer to themselves as Masters or slaves without understanding what they signify. For some the imagery of a Dom is wearing leather or latex with a paddle or whip, where as I am more likely going to be wearing religious garb and wielding items that get me up close and personal. What you wear is up to you, and like a label has no actual bearing on the role you inhabit. Its all about rough sex right? Nope. I have had many enjoyable encounters where no sexual activity has taken place. The release of endorphins being enough to take the body and mind to a different head space. It is what you both need it to be. " This about sums it up perfectly ![]() | |||
