ORIGINAL: SynopsisDefined So I just joined this site because for some time I've been wanting a relationship with a switch female but I don't want my sexual desires to be dominated as well as being dominant to get out (I do have a reputation for being a 'leader' and I don't want that tarnished because of my submissive kink. A lot rides on that reputation). So it's okay for people to know you love kink, but not that you'll let someone dominate you? I'm not judging you, I promise, but I'm having to work at not feeling slightly offended. You make it sound like being a switch, let alone a sub, is something to be ashamed of in a way that being dominant is not. quote:
Does anyone out there have any experience with keeping the fact that they are, in fact, a switch a secret from the rest of the world? Now I'm definitely a bit miffed. Seriously, the whole rest of the world must not know you're a switch? Look, I understand keeping your sex life private. I don't share with most people, including family and co-workers, that I'm poly and I love the kinky stuff. If you are just talking about having a blanket policy where you don't tell anyone what goes on in your bedroom, that seems quite reasonable. But to me this business of it being fine for people to know you're kinky, just not that you stoop to switching sometimes, feels wrong. Were I involved with someone who found it very important that everyone think she was totally Domme, and that switching with me was her dirty secret that I should never tell anyone, I'd be unhappy. I'm guessing most switches would not be thrilled by the thought that you were happy (even eager) to sub for them but also so disgusted by that desire you wanted to keep it a secret. That being said, it could very well be that you can find some switch who'll be happy to abide by those requirements. For me that would be part of any discussion we had before entering a relationship. I'd recommend being humble in your request, though. Maybe something along the lines of "Look, I know this is kind of a stupid pride thing, but would you mind..." (That's taken from my own life, where my own foolish male pride has a couple of times had me make requests of my wife that I know weren't strictly rational). Good luck in your search.
