Who are you?

I am writing this for the curious about BDSM I would like to explore which role better suits you.   BDSM is a lifestyle that can be adapted to anyone.  We all have different lives and different relationships, and the BDSM lifestyle can be modified to fit.

First, I will tell you the basic personality types. 

A Dominant type is the kind of person who likes to take the lead.  Always leads by example and is usually outgoing and likes to take care of others.

A submissive type is the kind of personality in which a person loves to be of service to others.  This type of person likes someone else to take the lead, they are happy following.  Sometimes they need to be told what to do to gain direction.

BDSM is a power exchange based on trust.  Meaning that the person who takes the role as submissive would give control to the Dominant.  Of course, there is much more to this as well; these are just the bare basics.

There are people who in their daily lives have to be in control at home and or at work.  But there are times in which they desire to relinquish control to another and take a break.  Not everyone who has a dominant personality takes on the role as a Dominant in BDSM. 

There are people who are submissive all day in their lives and are shy, but they would love to take control for just a while, doing something they feel safe doing and empowering themselves.

Besides those two roles, there is also a third one: a switch.  This person is one who is flexible and can take on either role. 

So which role fits you best?  Are you the type to take on responsibility? Are you the type to lead and others follow?  How do you feel about doing that in the bedroom as well?

Are you the type who would like to take orders and be happy fulfilling them?  Are you the type who has the urge to please others?  How about in the bedroom?

Where do you think you fit naturally?
