I can completely identify with what you're saying, JSZ. Most days, I am extremely dominant sexually (ropes, cuffs, spanking with my belt, blindfolds, etc.) There's a small percentage of time when I'm completely burned out from work stress where I absolutely love my partner to be dominant. I'd say my natural state is dominant and that's my preference, but when I need to be completely in control of my daily life I find that balance in sex.
