I looked up the term switch. As Stefani Threadgill, sex therapist and sexologist, explains, “Terminology serves to give us a language in which we can identify and name our experience and to communicate them to our partner. [Being a switch] is commonly relegated to BDSM; however, most of us have a comfort level of dominance and submission. This can change over time with the same partner and with other partners.” A switch is a label that you can use or ignore, nothing more.*
I tend to agree that most individuals describing themselves as switch aren't talking about their relationships so much as fun in the bedroom and scenes.
I believe we are all naturally something on the scale. In my personal and professional life, I've always been more on the Dominant scale, and as I've matured and grown into my being, I've become more so. Many, many women who I've spoken to or am friends with who describe themselves as submissive in the lifestyle have very demanding, leadership roles professionally. That doesn't mean that within their personal relationships, they can't be submissive. If anything, their submission relieves the stress of their day.
Some people are naturally Dominant. Others are naturally submissive. Doesn't mean they can't take direction or can't give orders when required. That's just how they feel and it's internal.
Personal and professional lives can be separate in how we conduct them, and it doesn't take away from how we feel about ourselves. In the end, I like to treat others with respect.
