switcher???? what exactly is that

[FoxyForestFire]

if you are a switcher i am guessing you and partner take turns being dom and sub... that is something i would love to have... if that is what it is.. is there a time that you specifically do it... or how or when...????

A start on the topic of switching and Switches

I don't know if you would call me a switch (not switcher), but I know that I am versatile in roleplay.

And I believe that you take turns whenever the energy in the situation changes... when it feels right for you to submit, then submit, and when it feels right for you to dominate, then dominate.

but always remember Safe, Sane and Consentual

IMHO
and remember I know nothing

in true D/s
there is no switching

When you have switching
you have tops and bottoms

"True BDSM?" Don't be so elitist you're too neophyte.
Ok, yes, a switch is someone who enjoys both, or more roles. I happen to think they're more versitile, and a lot more fun, but then, I'm bisexual.
My advice is go for it, but be forwarned. There's some Switchizm in the "True BDSMers" just like there's Bi-phobics amongst Gays and lesbians. They will try to collar you, or force you to become a full time Top, but don't. It's a lot more fun when you can get the best of both worlds.

me a neophyte?

really

lets see
I am 53 years old
I have been in the lifestyle since I was 15

I came up through the old school
that said if you want to be a Dom
be a submissive under a Dom for a year
I did this under a Dom couple

I also post that that post was just my opinion

Me thinks you ahve me confused with someone else
because I do not believe you are that rude

 

[psiberzerker]

Sorry, Rich. I can be that rude, but I try not to. I formaly appologize for my assumption. My point still stands, elitism is not something we need.

1) my name is not Rich
It is Richard

2) Who is the "we" you are part of?
It does not include me

I let life go as life goes
I do not offer my opinion unless it is asked for
I do not argue with other people unless they sstart an argument with me
Which you have done

Yes I find you very rude
and untill you attacked me here
I have ignored yoou

Now let us go our sperate ways

I agree with Richard's statement for the most part, in that with many switches it's just about being a Top or a bottom, and not being a Dom or submissive. The difference between the two is pretty significant in my book. Being a switch myself, I would rather just do the Top/bottom thing. But there are switches that enjoying being both Dom and submissive. That is kinda the neat thing about BDSM... anything is possible.

RisiaSkye is also another well known switch in these parts. I'm sure she'll answer any questions you have... if ya ask nice of course.

Well, I'm someone who's moved along, starting more on the bottom old-school style and identifying as a switch for quite some time.

Personally, when I was on the bottom, submission was often part of the package. It wasn't a purely physical "you do me" moment, and if it had been, I honestly don't think I could say I learned anything about domination from it.

I don't think being able to submit makes someone a submissive any more than singing in the shower makes you a singer.
