I am submissive. Neutral sometimes. Never dom

Only happy being submissive
I chafe somewhat at either/or labeling, although I know it works for some people. I'm a "live and let live" sort of person in most of my life, but a rigger/dominant/voyeur in my erotic life. Definitely not sub or switch, but also not a Dom like some people are. My idea of the perfect partner is a strong intelligent woman with a significant sub streak -- she chooses to be a sub because it gives her pleasure.
What's a rigger?
A rope top. Someone who enjoys tying/binding others.
I'm submissive by nature, but enjoy switching occasionally.
I'm a complicated sub; I am not the kind of sub to answer to demands or be under the control of a master.
Totally natural submissive, it's my favourite place to be. I don't think I could ever imagine being a dom!
Crave submission
Like a man who knows what he wants and gets it
Definitely submissive BUT not a slave or sissy.
My thoughts are if you are Dominant or Submissive, how did you get to be that way? How did you first find out your orientation? Dom or Sub?
I mentioned my experiences earlier so I won't mention them again but for me it was a long process. After many different experiences and gfs I found what works best for me is being a Switch. I can be a Dom with some women and a Sub with others. I like both aspects of D/s play.

Sub and more sub than I will admit to myself. Each day I find my sub nature expanding.Dominant
For me, it was a long road gettin' from there to here.
I've pretty liberally sprinkled my story hither, thither, and yon around these threads in bits and pieces. But,... well...
Yes, I am a survivor of abuse. Physical, mental, and emotional as well as sexual. Maybe that had something to do with it.
But, my first ex-fiancee... I tried to be "a good boyfriend" as I understood it at the time. While sublimating aspects of me that I was taught were wrong. And watched as she ping-pong balled between me and another guy (who wasn't sublimating shit) before dumping both of us after five years and taking up with someone else. And my second ex-fiancee started the same way, until I got fed up and told her it would either be my way or the highway from that point on.
Yeah, it wasn't good or right (or particularly pretty) the way it came about. And there was a lot of "if you love me you will" underlying the angry "not again" that burst that carefully crafted cage within my breast. Fortunately, for both our sakes, she wrested back enough of her soul to leave me the last time. And I was stubborn enough that I didn't take her back when she tried a couple of years later.
I also spent a long time working the detention units as a team leader and trainer before retiring and moving on to be a professor for a while until I got too sick to work.
Any road, that's just my long-winded way of saying that I am dominant, and not just sexually, with very little submissive give to my base personality (in the bedroom or out). Even "topping from the bottom" is a tricky proposition at best. But, I'm really just a product of my experiences as well as my innate nature.
Which isn't to say that I micro-manage. Probably seventy percent of the time, I'm content to watch and cheer her on as it unfolds as we do it her way. Twenty percent of the time, we'll discuss it, but if I don't have a hard reason to do it differently and she is set on it, then I'll just watch, ready to pick up the pieces if it doesn't go as planned. But, that last ten percent... We can discuss it. We can argue about it. But, it will be done my way once the discussion is done and the time for action has come. Not because I say so. Not because of any "or else." But because I'm right and she doesn't get to take the risks that are too much with the body, heart, mind, or soul that she has entrusted into my keeping. Not to mention my own sanity and health by putting hers at risk.
