Yes Sir,

...context is most certiantly important...all I was pointing out was that dominance and submission exist in all aspects of life as biologically natural components to human interaction and are not limited or confined to a contextual side bar within a strictly "bdsm" sexual relationship alone.

I was not sugesting that one's "identity" as a dominant or submissive majically becomes diminished somehow just becuase situations require one to dominate and or submit to one extent or another outside of said bdsm identity inclussive context.

All we are doing by hashing around about the differences between a bottom, a submissive, and a slave, or a top, a dominant and or a master/mistress (each of which have their own history within the community that the politically correct world of the internet consistantly attempts to change including the development of "new" terms that actually have no real purpose in actual practice of the art) is attempting to define the paramaters in intensity and or duration as well as mental and physical orientation/ intent of the participants yes?

In the end it doesnt really matter what one calls one's self in so far as titular distinctions go; especially since in actual practice there is always at least one who holds the whip and at least one who kneels to kiss it.
