Seems like everyone has some tendency in one direction or another. You're right -- two little subbies and no one to get them started end up still kicking the dirt no matter how much they'd like to do something else; two doms and there's (pardon the expression) "too many chiefs and no indians".

And, it's not odd just most people won't admit it or think it has to mean a lifestyle.

not wrong at all

Dominated sexually?? Always okay! In relationships in general, it's okay to be submissive as long as you don't lose your independence and free will, as well as date someone who takes advantage of the relationship, starts to expect everything, or becomes abusive.

I really think opposites attract. So I agree completely with what princessmore wrote.

I like the alpha male - someone stronger, older, more life experienced, and educated than me because I like to look up to him and learn from him. I'm really eager to make my significant other happy (I bake things, give massage, I'm not a housegirl lol but i will cook - I never clean!! I don't get told to do anything, I just like doing those things for him). They are naturally dominant, but no means better than me or above me.

Maybe you feel more comfortable with having less responsibility? I don't think it's necessarily wrong. To each his/her own. I have the total opposite view, but I guess I can kind of see where you're coming from. It's just not for me.

I am submissive - I need to be dominated both in the bedroom and in life...I see nothing wrong with it. I submit to my partner and no-one else. It doesnt mean that i am a doormat - just that i am happiest when thinking of my partners needs before my own.

i think i equate a man being dominate with being abusive, so that wouldn't work for me.

mmmm domination. Eh whats the question? You either grow a pair and become an independant human being able to cope with life on your own or you have some ***** calling the shots. Your decision. Grow or deal. Your choice.

Great question and some equally valid answers. Not all Submissives are female, nor all Dom's male. For some folks the need extends beyond the bedroom for many others not at all. The misconception that subs are not strong willed in their own right is actually not accurate at all. many very sucessful and highly intelligent ladies choose to be subs. I think it is a comfort issue myself and as long as whatever arrangemennt you are in serves your needs then there is nothing wrong with it. We are all different.
I would like to add one thing, The other prevelant misconception is that male Doms have abusive tendancies etc. When asked I will say a Dom is first and foremost a Dream Weaver a creator of fantasies come true. I cannot speak to the male sub issue with any authority it is a thing apart and I am not privy to it. But I cannot envision the differences being too great.

In the bedroom, for me it is the only way. I don't think it is odd, just different.

I agree with Arctic. In the bedroom domination is good. Outside, I don't think so!

I like a dominating man because you can realy tell he cares about you
