Recently I have been looking into the world of dominant and submissive personalities and found (surprisingly to me) that most males are submissive in relationships with their partners but in life more dominating (for example at work). Which I see does make sense … anyway I found that you either are laid back in real life then dominate in your relationships, or in real day to day life more dominating and then submissive in relationships. My question is that can you be laid back in day to day life but be both in a relationship (like reversing the roles often)?

Dominant personalities tend to be assertive, confident, and take charge in social situations. They often exhibit strong leadership qualities and enjoy being in control. Submissive personalities, on the other hand, are more passive, agreeable, and may feel more comfortable following rather than leading. They may prefer to defer to others' decisions and avoid confrontation.
Submissive males may engage in behaviors such as following the lead of a dominant partner, expressing a desire to please and serve their partner, and taking on roles that involve surrendering control or power in a relationship dynamic. These behaviors can vary based on individual preferences and the specific dynamics within a relationship.
Dominant-submissive dynamics refer to power exchange roles in a relationship where one person may take charge (dominant) while the other follows (submissive). Sadomasochism involves deriving pleasure from inflicting (sadist) or receiving (masochist) pain or humiliation. While dominance and submission can exist without sadomasochistic elements, they can often overlap in BDSM practices.
Not necessarily. Submission in a BDSM context does not inherently correlate with low self-esteem. It is a consensual expression of power dynamics that can be empowering and fulfilling for those involved. It is essential to not make assumptions about an individualโs self-esteem based on their preference for submission.
The archetype of the submissive lover or follower is represented in Psyche being forced to do as Venus commands. This archetype reflects themes of obedience, sacrifice, and power dynamics in relationships. It also explores the idea of being controlled or manipulated by a more dominant figure.
A sadist derives pleasure from inflicting pain or humiliation on others, while a masochist derives pleasure from experiencing pain or humiliation themselves. Essentially, a sadist enjoys being dominant and causing harm, whereas a masochist enjoys being submissive and receiving harm.

All people are dominant, all people are submissive.
It depends on your family and which parent is more submissive. For me, my father is the dominant :):):)
This sounds incredibly similar to the dominant vs. submissive relationship I'm currently in. Basically the dominant or significant watches over the submissive or minor, ensures their needs are met in exchange for complete service from the submissive to the dominant. This doesn't have to apply in sexual ways. It can be as simple as the submissive giving a foot rub to the dominant. However, these type of relationships only work if both members are willing to play a part in it. Forced co-operative is destructive, especially in this case, and never ends well.
Sexual roles such as dominant and submissive can exist in any sexual relationship, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Some lesbians may enjoy dominant or submissive roles in their relationships, while others may not. It varies among individuals and depends on personal preferences.
Well first off, what are you like?
The dominant is someone who takes the control over the other people. They do not receive oders from others. Whereas the submissive give up his total control over the dominant.
There are 2 types of bearded dragons. Submissive dragons and dominant dragons. When your BD waves it's arm it's being submissive. When it bobs it's head up and down it's being dominant.
Dom means Dominant, and sub means submissive, in a BDSM relationship.
you will enjoy it if you are a submissive person like me, i love it when my girlfriend takes the lead in sex. if you dont like it then maybe you're a more dominant person in bed?
