The 'best of both worlds' is how I look at it. Well it is fun to control your own submissive and help teach her the proper way to serve and emerge more intelligently as well is awesome. However, being submissive yourself lets you explore the erotic feeling of being bound and unable to move.

I love my 'switch' role. Also, it helps you understand the viewpoint of both sides. Therefore, you have a perspective few others do not have.
