Switches: How readily can you switch?

[Batman]

I gave this issue a little more thought just now. There have been a couple times early in my spanking life that I took a spanking primarily to learn how it felt. It didn't feel right using straps and paddles on ladies without having felt them on my own skin to know what they were capable of doing. For me, it was definitely easier to be the Top first and the bottom second. Though, that could even change if the girl got too interested in providing a sting. I think that's because I really am just a Top and not a switch.

I would not be comfortable switching. As bossy and assertive as I can be, I am submissive and would not be able to spank someone else for real, especially the one to whom I am submissive. It would mess with the dynamic in my head.

I've been out for awhile due to problems with the computer that I usually do my spanko stuff on, so am now just catching this comment by sarah. While I know that the question was directed to switches, since sarah replied I thought that I would add my side to it, also.

In my turn, neither can I switch. I am all Top/Dom, and it would, as sarah says, mess with the dynamic in my head.

I think that in our case it's one of the things that make us fit well in this regard. We are perfectly aligned and complementary in our spanking - D/s dynamic.

I've found it fairly easy to switch. It takes me about 15 minutes or so to come out of subspace...although the warmth of my tush takes longer. I like doing it because for me its the best of both worlds. I love both feelings of being in control and then being controlled.

I can switch after about an an hour if I have been giving, if I receive it takes a little longer
