Switching subs?

[(null).exe]

There are many subs out there who enjoy Dominating other subs. Does this make them switches? Or are they just subs with alpha sub tendencies? Is a sub in a 3-some who subs to the Dom but Doms the other sub a switch or an alpha sub?

That's what it all comes down to doesn't it?

I'm inherently submissive; however, my wife is also sub. When we go out to play with others, we have a few friends who are quite wonderfully dominant with us both, but when we are alone, I play the dom (and here's the point), and I ENJOY it. Therefore, I am switch.

Switching is not inherent, like dominance or submission. Switching (and the act of being a switch), comes from the necessity or desire to fulfill a role outside your norm.

In direct response to delia: A normally submissive person who is directed to dom another sub is an alpha sub. A normally submissive person who volunteers to dom another sub is a switch.
