I believe that no person is born a submissive, and in this thread the saying “You are what you are,” does not count. The fact is everyone is born with the same genes and qualities in them, and it is how you are moulded through your infant days; that determines your roll in life. Apart from the few, meaning the bullies or the bullied, i doubt that any person knows whether they are Dom or sub until they are at least in their late teens. It is at about that point when i think we all fall into our comfort zone, or maybe just know what it is. There is no real answer to the question asked, because there are too many questions to the question. If while in the forces i am ordered to kick ass and i kick ass, does that make me a Dom while kicking ass or a sub for doing as i was ordered? If a slave or sub says to her Master, “May i do this for you, or can i do that to you Master” and the Master answers yes sweetness or whatever to keep her happy. Who is domineering and who is submitting, no prizes for the answers? Just a few thoughts i have had on the same subject.
