Is it common/normal for a Dom to want to try being a Sub?

I disagree with the importance of language and semiotics, and think that if you are in a trusting relationship there's not necessarily a need for labels, as such, and is just a case of exploring the limits. However, I completely love the perception that we are all existing on a kink spectrum, there is just a diverse range of sexual pleasures and there always will be.
I don't think I have ever come across as heteronormative in my life, and will stand up and admit that I don't fall into any distinctively stereotypical role. Perhaps you were right before when you said maybe I'm a dominant bottom and I am definitely ready for the challenge of finding my true place in this crazy beautiful world x

Oh, sweetheart. Language is a tool to be used by human beings to communicate-- with each other, and with themselves. if we don't use it, we lose.

Case in point, First you sounded as if you were worried that you might be Doing It Wrong:

This might sound crazy but even though by submitting to him I am giving myself to him fully and completely I still feel that I have the power in the relationship. Perhaps this isn't normal or stereotypical, and its quite difficult to explain however...

Then, when I suggested that you were doing it perfectly right-- by a different set of parameters-- you pooh-pooed me:

I disagree with the importance of language and semiotics, and think that if you are in a trusting relationship there's not necessarily a need for labels, as such...

But you gotta admit, I have a point:

...Perhaps you were right before when you said maybe I'm a dominant bottom and I am definitely ready for the challenge of finding my true place in this crazy beautiful world

Would you have entertained the possibility that your role was mislabelled -- if you hadn't heard that there exist other labels, other roles, to be explored? (which by the way is a semantic function, not semiotic)

Also,not everyone is in the trusting relationship that you have. many of us are looking for partners, not having them. That's when communication is even more important.

I think that in comparison to others I am fairly ignorant of the world in which we frequent, and have been lucky enough to find relationships that have enabled me to slowly enter, test the waters so to speak. Yes, I think that you are correct that I may not have entertained other suggestions prior to entering this forum. I am ready to learn and even if I don't always get it right certainly have fun trying

Thank you for the English lesson!
