I'm inclined to say that the ROLES are harder to switch. Assuming they developed naturally (as opposed to strictly scening) then someone's probably going to tend towards the leadership role as the other tends to let him/her. Dynamics within a relationship tend to remain constant barring some major shake up in peoples' lives or change of how they feel, etc. I'd say true 'switching' within a relationship, like michaels4ever described, would only be likely if their tendencies to lead/follow while the relationship developed pretty much evened out. I like what she described though, it sounds ideal. Topping and Bottoming....probably insufficient experience for me to give a good answer. I see that as more mutable. As DarkLovely said, it's perfectly possible to domme from the bottom. E01n carefully seperated Top/Bottom from D/s for me in my thread, for which I'm grateful. My fiance and I have switched top/bottom within a single evening, not far from ToysandTies' example. "Alright, my turn! Bwahaha!" The problem I forsee with switching either role OR activity would be if both people are feeling aggressive or passive at the same time. That sounds like a route to embarassment or disappointment to me.
