Dominant means basically "i like to take charge of things," submissive means basically "I like the other person to handle stuff." And it doesn't mean EVERY TIME either, just as a trend.

[Poll #85561]

Dear Heloise -

I'm confused.

I would probably prefer that I not have to take charge of things outside the bedroom (I like it when other people plan my social life for me), but I end up feeling the obligation to step up and take control of things (the same with my place of employment). In the bedroom, I like to be in charge, feel most comfortable in that situation, but at the same time want to be able to yield up control.

My point merely being - I have no idea how to answer your poll.

Signed,
Befuddled in Dulles

It sounds to me like you prefer being submissive outside the bedroom and prefer dominating in the bedroom. Tendencies, not absolutes.

so, let me guess. the girls prefer to be submissive in the bedroom, and dominant outside?
and the guys are the other way around?

Kind of an even split so far.

wow, not a single guy has claimed to be dominant outside of the bedroom...

Excellent...

That is what I had defaulted to.

You're the greatest.

I know.

That's why all these straight guys who are dominant outside the bedroom are obsessed with me, I guess. Fuckers.

(Full disclosure: I am dominant outside and submissive inside.)

I must admit, I'm rather intrigued that not a single person has claimed to be consistent in and out of the bedroom. You'd think there'd be at least one, but the cliches are holding.

I know at least a couple of consistent people but I don't know if they'll respond.

I think it's safe to say I'm a dom in or out.

Huh. Six years later, I wander into this poll because some random dude replied to a comment in a four year old post, and vote on it.

I'm consistent.

I think I'm more of a switch now. But I still get really really hot when I get my hair pulled and all.

Once I finally realized most girls are totally fucking okay with it, I discovered that I was WAAAAAY more comfortable just being straightforwardly dominant.
