In my past lives (actually relationships) I have been sub at times and Dom at others. No, I don't consider myself a switch, because the role I took would remain constant for years and I never switched with my existing partner. I am not a sub that tranferred to being a Dom - as I moved back and forth over the years.

From my own self analysis, I realised that I was a sub when I had very demanding professional life and it was relaxing to come home to no decision making situations. When my professional life was less demanding, I had much more energy to be the Dom when I got home.

Occasionally tho, stressful conditions can also arise in the less demanding job, and so the energy is lacking to Dom when I get home. Subs I have had have understood this, and so all I had to do was to communicate with them and say we will have a relaxing evening. It was amazing though, with the pressure removed from having to 'perform', after a little relaxation the Dom side would start showing through again on most occasions, albeit not quite as intensly as usual.
