Hmm, I think for me it depends who I'm with. I can be very dominant and demanding when I'm with people who look for guidance and place me in a dominant position (or see me in a dominant position in a work context). I can deal with that and it comes naturally. But I never strive for that...it's not something I seek. My nature is more submissive - not to a point where I like serving everybody around me, lol...I like to tease and am told I don't come across like a shy person...but I like people around me to be happy and go out of my way to achieve that.

In a sexual context I should have noticed earlier that I'm seeking a dominant partner. I did a lot of what d2p described to provoke that response in a partner but the men I was with hardly ever acted accordingly. *sighs*

I think my friends would laugh hard if they found out that I'm submissive, though. It's not an image I seem to project. Then again, I consider myself shy and nobody believes me. The facade is different from what's inside...
