Geeezzzzz....this isn't the Spanking Network...this
is a graduate seminar at Spanko University. Professor Emmy is asking hard questions.
I'm going to preface my answer by declaring that this is simply my experience and may not apply even remotely to anyone else.
I'm a Switch, but these days a Switch with a lower case "s"...I do lots more Topping. Not sure if that's circumstance or preference....I just haven't given it much thought.
For me it is more the partner than any particular feeling...I think so anyway...I'm sort of thinking this out as I write. Many of you met Aunt Vicki at TASSP...one of the great female Tops in the scene. I've played with her over about a seven year period. While I've Topped a couple of girls with her, I could no more imagine Topping her than I could imagine harming a friend...it just won't happen. Can't be done.
Coversely, I've switched a couple of times with some of Gary's girls and routinely with Fraudgirl...seems perfectly normal. My wife is 100% Bottom (although not long ago I was working in the garage and listening to my iPoD...she smacked me on the butt to get my attention....if she ever chooses to Top I'll give you all as much advance warning as I can....that little gal has got a wicked swat.
An ex of mine wanted to Switch....I tried it and we both felt ridiculous....it was just not comfortable for either of us. Now why is that??? I really haven't a clue....the chemistry just wasn't there.
Why Switch? In my case, probably for the same reasons that the Bottoms like to Bottom. I was never subject to corporal punishment as a child apart from a swat or two when I was very young for trying to do something dangerous. But the anticipation, the lecuture, the butterflys in the stomach....the loss of control...it can be quite exciting...The sense that someone else has total control over you but is not going to do any serious harm......
I guess this is about a "C" paper for the seminar but its a topic that I'll think more about and perhaps write some more.
Be good to one another,
