ID just asked me to read this, and voice an opinion. i believe that a 'natural' Dom is just that. naturally dominant. in most, if not all, aspects of His/Her life. further, i believe everyone is either predominantly submissive or dominant. even the 'nillas..they just don't express it as lifestyle involved people do. a Natural Dominant....when/if they explore BDSM D/s can be taught to hone his dominance for his and his submissives mutual pleasure and benefit. (no one knows how to hold a flogger til they are taught, for example) but...having said that, i will also venture to say, just because someone is not a "NATURAL" dominant, does not make them submissive. a non-natural dominant? not sure about that. will have to ponder it. i guess...hm. means someone who 'tries' to be dominant, or is dominant only when the need/desire arises? not sure...*slinks off to think about that some*
