nice thread question sis
i would just respectfully add the following:
Some dominants expect thier girls to "test" limits or be full of"fire" on a regular basis, even after thier dominance has been well established in a relationship such as my owners and mine for instance, in the end i am yielding on my knees, the outcome is undeniable, yet for some its how you play the game thats important, walking the path is more valuable to some than reaching the destination quickly
i have also heard that dominants sometime top from the bottom as well, not the same way that subs try, but the term (and it may be incorrect to say) is often used to describe some dominants "style" of topping, and i have seen many doms use it in a derogatory manner to refer to other doms, which is ironic becuase contrary to popular belief it can be very very effective and devious manner of dominating a sub
doms that have a more passive appearing approch often get tagged with this term, i dont reccomend anyone underestimate them, they are sometimes the best of doms and very cunning, WEG
And switches of course may constantly engage in it, one would think its second nature for them
in many ways especially early in a relationship its quite natural to top from the bottom or at least try, its a submissives best way to see her prospective dominants real strength and character, if he cant handle little ole her, what kinda dom/domme will they be, seeing how a dominant handels such situations is a very useful insite into his pcyche, i wont submit to a "weak minded" dom myself, its not enough he is physically stronger than me, he must also outhink me, he must dominate me in every way
If the dom is really proficient he will put ya where you belong when he is ready, and not before. A lot of doms have zero tolerance for it, even may seem paranoid about it and jump to false accusations with thier sub which is unfortunate because it doesnt set a good pace or relationship standard of trust, and those overreative doms are probably more than a little insecure about thier prowess as a dom so feel greatly threatened by it, they will also be the first doms to disagree with this part of the post. lol
and make no mistakes people i am not saying what anyone else said is wrong, i just believe a different perspective has its advatages, that indulging a sub who you think is "topping from the bottom" on occasion can yield you as a dominat valuable information about your submissive
A dom thats comfortable and secure in his dominion, can afford the luxury of watching his girl test his limits and break her of it or not at his liesure, any time he wants,
especially when he is getting to know his property better, getting into her head so to speak, and when you test his limits he gains valuable information on how to do that, how to better establish his dominion over you .
basically in the end its a two way street, Just one wher the dominant eventually one way or the other gets on top, least he become the bottom
