		<description>&quot;I also think “switch” has a lot of the same (negative) connotations that “bisexual” does, such as fence-sitting, not committing, unsure of what they want, not able to commit to anything long-term, really one way and pretending to be the other, things like that. &quot;

Abso-damn-lutely.  I see the bisexual side of that statement a lot, my wife is bi and in a committed, now open, relationship with me.  I guess some could see that in a negative way, but I see it as a healthy recognition of what we both need.  I think &#039;switch&#039; may very accurately describe me, though I&#039;m still getting used to having a label like that.  I very much enjoy topping a willing and active femme bottom and I enjoy just as much rolling over and opening myself up to someone who has the strength to take me.  I&#039;ve also come to recognize that I would enjoy being in an even more submissive role, in the right situation with the right master.  Glad I&#039;m discovering this now, when I have the energy and freedom to explore these options.

So &#039;switch&#039; to me doesn&#039;t mean wishy-washy, it means open to all kinds of experiences, not restricted to one polarity or another.

thanks for the post, I&#039;m enjoying your blog and getting to know you and your viewpoints.</description>
