What is your true opinion of "switches"?

[neonflux]

I switch, my motto is if you cannot take, it do not dish it out... Any way To Switch is to share fully the BDSM experience.

Thank you for resurrecting this. I learn to be a better Domme by subbing and a better sub by Topping. I learn much more about myself and gain a much greater appreciation of both roles through switching. Of course, I am relatively new and have no idea where this will eventually lead.

How do you feel about switches? Especially those of you who have been established in one role for long periods of time? Are switches full just "in denial" about their true roles and too afraid to commit to one or the other? Or is it really possible to be a content switch?

I do believe some people straddle that line, yes.

Personally, I'd never be able to accept a switch as a D. Never. I'd never even entertain the idea long enough to laugh at the suggestion.

When to Switch

Ahhh, switches. I just want them to tell me what they are that night and then we can get on with it.

I cannot remember making a decisson to switch, it sort of just happens, not often, but when it does I get really turned on before anything actually happens. The suspense drives me crazy, 'Oh Oh what just happened where are we going now?'
The knowledge that I am able to switch turns my slave on especially when we do something new.

Always Glad to Share.

What a Beautiful Post

I have trolled for the author and your quote. I am always aware that my sub is actually in charge. The look she gives me just before I do something really nasty is priceless.

'I know what you are going to do, you perverted master and I am going to let you do it!"

The expresion speaks far more eloqullently that I can ever put in words.

I guess you could say I'm a switch, since I've played both sides of the fence more than a few times. And while I enjoy both roles the submissive side is the one that really flips that switch for me. So if I had to choose one that I just can't be without it would be that. But sometimes the mood to take charge just hits me. I don't think I could really do it with a Master though. I think once I know I can bring someone to their knees I lose some of the respect that's necessary for me to submit to them. But then again they have to have something extra to get me to submit in the first place.

But who knows, in the right situation, with the right person anything is possible

I think it's more important to just enjoy yourself and have fun. Trying to label yourself too much will just lead to problems.

Switches are people who aren't very picky

Try remembering baseball statistics when you feel it happening.

My opinion of switches? They're awesome.

Master and I both switch from time to time, and lately my mind has been consumed of the thought of topping him. (I say topping because I doubt I have a really, truly Dominant bone in my whole body, and I doubt he has a submissive one in his.) It'll be interesting to see what happens. (He's all for the idea, by the way.)

Ah well, then you will never know what you're missing, will you?

I've...never really understood this concept. Why would a switch make an unacceptable dominant for you?

There is that misconception out there that a switch cannot a good Dom/me make, but it is just a myth. I have been in contact with someone I would call a switch for several months. He has been a Dom but wants to try the other side of the whip as well....IMO, he must have been one hell of a Dom, especially for his youth, because not only does he have remarkable perception, but he is strong, in charge of his life, caring, aware, and capable of listening and also communicating his own needs in a clear way, and does not falter in his vision of what he wants and is capable of...and from what I have seen so far, extremely honest.

I have a lot of respect for switches, I have explored it a little, but have come to the conclusion that I am anything but. However, I feel that the ability to step so completely out of one state and into another must show incredible strength of mind and self assurance (in a positive way) I feel that to be able to submit wholly to someone one day, or week, or year, but then to switch back to domination must require the switch to be very comfortable with themselves.

Also, of the people I have spoken to on these boards, some of those I admire the most are switches, from what I have gleaned from my time here, but have given me no reason to doubt their abilties in either role.

Think of them as sort of, sexually ambidextrous, what?

 

[Netzach]

I'm wired the opposite. I can't take a D seriously when he can't handle giving up control sexually or otherwise for a minute, there's no way (and I'm not fond of the never) that I'd bottom for someone who would not bottom to me.

I would have to agree. Neon

Gee, that seems to happen a lot ...
