I sometimes feel like I'm copping out a little bit when I call myself a switch. It's not a lie. I do enjoy playing both roles. But I am looking primarily looking for interactions and relationships where I'm in more of a submissive role.
But, for whatever reason, I'm not quite comfortable calling myself a sub. Part of that is because I don't know if I want the same thing most subs want. Even as I say that, I know it's not a fair statement. Of course all subs want different things.
But when I look for classifieds or do other things searching for a dominant partner, the vast majority of them are looking sub slaves. They want someone to completely give control of themselves over to them.
I don't want this. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting that, but it's not for me. But so much of what I see goes in that direction. Full control. So much so that, beyond just my limited experience, I feel like a bit of a fake.
I have some idea of what I want. I want a confident and strong woman. Someone who can take control, but not necessary ALWAYS be in control. And, yes, be incredibly kinky. I guess part of it is that my BDSM wants are more for the bedroom. I don't think I can live the lifestyle 24/7. Again, this makes me self-conscious. Am I just a phony?
I also worry about what I want being too specific. It's never easy to find someone perfect for you. But seeing so many people searching for the opposite of what you want can be disheartening. I know recently I finally saw a classified here for someone that was finally within driving distance. Then I read it and saw that they were looking for a complete slave.
So maybe I won't be able to find what I want here. But I'm still happy to be here. I've gotten to meet a lot of nice people who have been very welcoming to me, even if I can be a bit, uh, immature :)
I guess this was just a bit of venting, so thank you for reading my ramblings!
