I've heard of people being a "switch" but I was wondering if one is preferred over the other...why? My former master used to tell me that he was a "giver not a taker be it pleasure or pain"...so true and very well may I add. I on the other hand am a taker all the way...can be erotically painful at times but the rewards are countless...so which is it all? Just curious... :cathappy:

Is the cliche getting your cake and eating it too?? This is how I would describe a switch they at times are the Dom/me and other times the sub. The only issue is that unless matched with another switch they might not get their full needs met as there partner can't or won't take on the other role. One role is not better then the other Kiten its all about having fun and meeting your needs. One could argue its better to be just a sub or a dom because you get a richer experience too. So I guess it just depends on where you are and is it working for you at this time.

damn the late editing lol. It depends on what we are doing, if its giving or receving a good flogging, I wants to receive. But on say oral I love to give that pleasure alot.
 
errrrrrrm one can 'Top' or 'Bottom' or both.

This does not necessarily make you a switch. The term/label switch in my experience is more accurately a lifestyle term and rarely exclusive to play. For many its not a cake and eat it to situation.

It can be a very difficult transition for those who identify to the core as either Dominant or submissive/slave at varying times in varying relationships. On good authority real switches are a small minority of the Community.

Its also not a label panacea to cover all fetish related activities ascribed to by the individual :rose:

Seeing that two want to play with the yarn, cuts it in half so they don't fight each other for the pleasure. Stands behind a chair and pulls each string on the opposite side of the chair to the middle.

yuppers...gonna work on that one...bad storm coming up just knocked out my power for a sec...so after it passes...thanks for the string :cathappy:
 
Have never switched not do I want to, it holds no interest to me.

But I don't really understand the question Kiten.

I read it that you think one PYL is a taker and the other pyl is a giver.

I don't see it as such.

It appears in our relationship that he, as the PYL is both giver an taker, just as my role as the pyl is both of these things

Its not all one or the other.

In serving him I am taking pleasure in my actions. Bluntly if it gave me no pleasure I would not have started down this road.

PYL's have expressed to me and on Lit that part of the domination gives them pleasure but they take from the scene as well.
The give and take are just different levels of9 the same process.

Then again maybe I misunderstood the question :confused:

(PYL/pyl is 'pick your label)
 
Shy how dare you say you get something from your interaction, to be that aware, you really should be ashamed. This is the type of attitude I got when I bluntly said I don't do anything unless I get something from the experience, its like I had 2 heads or something. I wonder what these same people will say when I explain about how I am into the bdsm lifestile.
