fluffyprincess -> Can I label myself a switch if I only like topping during play? (5/15/2014 4:14:59 PM)

I couldn't ever be a Domme, that's just not in my cards, sooooooo not me. But I did enjoy calling some shots in the bedroom in my previous relationship. But how can I fulfill my submissive/babygirl needs, as well as my top needs, with the same person? Do I label myself as a switch because I like having *some* sort of power, or would that just negatively effect me, because of the type of relationship I want, (Daddy/babygirl). Because I enjoy pegging, and I enjoy causing *some* pain (flogger, spanking, paddle...and even chastity devices make me smile, but I doubt I'd ever actually want them to be used as I just love penis too much to keep it caged up), and being in control of some minor things involving sex/activities...lol So do I select Switch, or do I just write in my profile that I like topping? lol
Help me out here, please. xD

Honestly my first thought is questioning why you are asking a bunch of strangers what you should label yourself. It's your life, so you should decide what is best for you. If I told you you should label yourself cheetah poo, would you? Ridiculous question, I know...but I did it to illustrate a point. What I or anyone else thinks shouldn't matter.

Some switches need different relationships with different people to meet each side of their needs. My guy and I are able to switch and experience both topping and bottoming with each other. Everyone and every relationship is very different. Though from the sounds of things that you are looking for, more than one person might be needed. I'm not into the whole Daddy/baby girl thing, so how that dynamic works is outside of my skill set.

Hm, true. I think I'll just keep having my profile as Submissive, and just say in my profile I like topping for in-bedroom play every once in awhile.
But if it scares away the monogamous Doms, then maybe I'll just live without topping. It doesn't exactly make sense for a monogamous woman like myself to have two men in my life.

I've labeled myself the Grand High Exalted Poobah of CollarChat. Not that any one else gives a fat rat's ass about what I call myself or what I have officially decreed.

I'd say you can label yourself any way you like.

Hm, what do you know, I took a few "what role are you in BDSM" quizzes, for fun, and in each of them, I scored higher as a Switch than as a sub. Compared to a few months ago before I had any experience in BDSM, when I ranked 100% submissive in those same quizzes.
I know those quizzes shouldn't be taken seriously to help determine my role, only I should do that no matter what the quizzes or anybody else says...but I agree with the quiz results in that they ring true for me.

Alright. I guess I have to give you a serious answer:

For the purposes of trying to find as close a match as possible, I think it behooves you to just explain yourself on your profile.

While certain labels can give people a general idea about a person, specifics are needed. I offer as evidence all the posts about "wanna be" dominants and submissives who might very well be dominant or submissive but they aren't what the other person is looking for, specifically.

There's a thread, somewhere around here, about "switch hatred". I think "hatred" is an awfully strong word. However, "switch" is one of those words that will make me click off a profile, pretty quickly; not immediately, mind you but, if a person doesn't going into detail about what "switch" means to them, I am forced to go by my own experiences/perceptions of what the word means.

So, if I were you, I would give some kind of "explanation" of what the word "switch" means to you (if you intend to use it).



Peace,



Michael

It does sound like you are describing a switch, when you detail your interests. I agree with DaddySatyr. I'm a Switch and my profile says, "and that needs to be clarified with some detail..."

I'm a switch because I'm a bedroom submissive who can top, too. Outside of the bedroom, I prefer an equal relationship. Or, if there is a D/s component, then I lean towards the Female Led Relationship model.

Other switches may sub to their partner, and only dominate other people - never attempting or desiring or being capable of, dominating their own Dom.

There are other ways of being a switch, too. So it's a good idea to read a lot of switch threads to see if someone already described what you feel, in a way that you understand. When I began as a submissive, my Dom assigned homework - that I read the submissive threads and profiles, to learn the "lingo" around here, and also to see if anyone had put into words, things I felt, but didn't know yet how to express in writing. (that may be confusing - he was a Protector Dom and he was preparing me to write my own profile) I think it was a good idea and well worth the effort.

I'd suggest that in addition to elaborating on what switch means to you, most guys appreciate it if you spell out what you want them to be.

Best of luck to you!

ETA - Have absolutely no worries that the label Switch will keep anyone away. I hear from Doms all the time and I'm not new, not young and don't post pictures.

This is a tough one. Not for you so much, but because I have a feeling this will irk DaddySatyr to no end. (He's a stickler for full disclosure.) Not intending to deceive anyone, I believe you should maintain two profiles. These really are two separate parts of yourself, and combining baby girl with service Topping in the same profile could sound confusing. Your current submissive profile should describe how you envision your dynamic to be, what you want in a DaddyDom.

Then your other profile can get set up as switch with reference to what Topping activities you enjoy, but that you have submissive needs and are only interested in having a Dominant partner. Some advice, unless you want a boatload of male subs deluging you. You have a couple wildfire words which I avoid at all costs because it will only attract unsuitable bottoms, the kind who are obsessively self-indulgent. They are "pegging" (or strap-on) and "chastity," also "spanking." If you want to include "Ass Play" and "Spanking" in your Interests List, please don't assign them a higher ranking of importance than Likes, for the sake of your own on-line sanity. Normally a Dom isn't going to do those kinds of word searches; only half the "do-me" male subs on this site will. If and when you start exchanging messages with a Dom or Switch, then you can explain why you maintain two profiles.

A high-protocol Dom, a sadistic Dom, and a head-up-his-backside Dom are the only ones who will have a problem with your multi-faceted nature. I don't think you will run into a snag with a DaddyDom. The two who contacted me wanted to be ostensibly Dommed but were just looking to be Topped, not a *real* D/s relationship dynamic as a submissive male. They weren't sadistic, weren't into extreme or edgy play. Both wanted ass play and one also had a foot fetish. One claimed initially after many years, he wanted to turn sub. Needless to say, I didn't believe him, and the only reason I communicated with him was because I recognized him as a match from a vanilla dating site where he hadn't revealed his D/s orientation. After about a month, during a phone conversation where I confronted him, he admitted he was considering becoming a Switch, not fully submissive like he had originally insisted. The other Dom it turned out was a Switch who maintains both Dom and sub profiles, and he was forthcoming about this. He had meant to contact me from his sub profile and had accidentally messaged me from his DaddyDom profile. He wanted to find a Domme who would "train" him to be an "anal slut" and take his anal cherry.

Princess, I have high hopes for you. I think you will find the perfect DaddyDom match for you.

Hey, this is fluffyprincess...I deleted that account, (on the other side), for a variety of reasons. I have this account, and I'll keep this one as submissive, as those who would ask, or who know Batman TAS at all, Harley Quinn would be considered submissive (or crazy, or both).
But I will take your advice on having two profiles, and I'll be upfront about it when I actually meet somebody.
