This is a question I've had for a while, as a gay sub male is it normal to be aggressive during sex. I still want to be the one taking it but I often find the idea of forcing my partner to do what I want every now and then (like riding him,tying him up,or forcing him to a certain position)exciting, is this normal for a sub?
Don't get caught in the trap of analyzing something to death.
What is most important is you and your partner get satisfaction however you play it, whichever "roles" either wants to take on in a given "session".
Actually it depends on HOW you analyze. Make sure you get those straight answers in other words. And if somoene isn't asking enough, pester them to death until they do learn to ask. It's the only way to cross-reference with each other and get the full story.
Without going into too much detail, hypocrites are liars and liars are cowards. In other words if you want to flee/avoid a situation then you're probably lying to yourself about something. eg: assumptions.
We also have to consider that people can be selfish and hold back with your wants/needs because of whatever concerns they have. I actually get misunderstood a lot about this because it confuses people about why I'd be 100% invested at the start when they hold back with me at first. If this situation isn't analyzed then misunderstadnings continue. Which would just make things worse. NOT analyzing is a mistake here. One sided situations that are unfair are unhealthy. Yet the reason for why it's unfair might surprise the other person (eg: I make it about them even if they don't with me). This is a situation where I would say "Worry with reason". What complicates this for me is that I'm never one to give up on anyone once I'm invested. It can be a lot of pressure for the other person if they don't understand why yet. But once they do understand things are fine. You have to KNOW each other to ACCEPT each other. You have to know each other to love each other. It's that simple. Except also not when people don't get it yet. I only really know one person that's super giving, super kind and never stalls with me at all with very few concerns. But that's "near perfect". Not most people. Love gives, it doesn't take. If you really do love yourself you'll be a giving person. Or does ignorance and rejection sound better then acceptence?
Boy I wish things could be simple. Reality check. People don't LET you do that. Some people really don't let you do that. And why? Because they WANT things to be simple when in reality they DISMISS your concerns. They're DESPERATE for simple. Which means you get sidelined. What exactly are you saying is simple/obvious when you never asked?
Once someone says "I don't know" (and I get them to confess that quickly) things get a lot easier. NOW we can make things simple. Now that you're no longer assuming. Or at least show you ask enough to deal with corrections.
Natually this means I basically have to be a bit aggresive when people are stubborn. It can be stressful having those talks. Hell, it's even downright painful at times. What's the TRUTH of the matter? How can we find out? Bingo. Suddenly either they can handle the truth and the pursuit of it or they can't. It's a pretty effective tactic.
Another effective tactic if a dom type person is being aggresive at you is to simply ask "Who does that remind you of?" If they start painting you out as the bad guy. I can say that this defused a tense situation right away and lead to an agreement being formed ASAP (seriously, have those arguments. It's getting the hard times dealt with sooner). The reason for this is because I pointed out that they were doing what they were complaining about. BUT I didn't have to have long talks about it. I simply did it with one simple question. That's all it took. Just one question. They never admitted it, but the fact that they jumped straight to agreements is all I needed. I don't need thanks or validation. I see what they're doing. And I'm happy about it.
So as painful as it can be at times, it's also rewarding enough to be worth it. Once I hit the "things get worked out phase" (be it quickly or later), that's it. The pain is controlled and it gets turned into pleasure. Thing is you can only do it together. The question is which one was being Darth Vader and which one was being Luke Skywalker? Hell, what if Dath Vader is actually Luke Skywalker under that armor when you judge a book by its cover?
Yada yada. Things not always as they appear to be. Etc etc. You get the idea.
