Sir & I had an interesting convo that sparked a desire for a thread about roles/stereotypes in D/s relationships.
We're both switches & just foraying into a true D/s relationship for the 1st time. There's SO MANY preconceived ideas out there re what a Dom/me, esp should be like -

& we've both had to stretch around that to who we actually are.
Neither of us fit a typical stereotype. Not for Dom/me or sub, or switches. Neither of us are what you'd expect from those roles. Hell, we don't always even call each other typical names.

I can be kitten as sub but also Kitten as Mistress sometimes!! Both of us have insecurity issues from past abuse. Both of us are finding ourselves now & allowing ourselves to just be US for the first time, maybe ever.
Here's the truth we're rapidly finding. Being us, exactly who we are, is a powerful thing. Fitting ourselves into stereotypes isn't only damaging to us but also doesn't allow us to be the full, amazing people we can be & that can only ever make a relationship the more dull for it
Being REAL is powerful. In fact, its a Dominance & also a submission to just be who you are, & just damn well enjoy it.
Doms/subs/switches - none of us are a monolith. We're all individuals who enjoy different things. Some of us are serious, some of us laugh our way through sex.

Some of us like to have/be a stern, unyielding or harsh Master/Mistress, some a more gentle, amused Master/Mistress. Some of us switches have prearranged D/s roles at specific times, some of us flow like river channels as the mood takes us.
We all also have conflicting needs, desires & feelings in ourselves. For example you may enjoy your subs discomfort but equally want to hold them & make sure they're OK.
