Have you ever danced on the slash in the pale moonlight?

NSFWDiscussion

One of the things I love most about being a Switch who has a Switch partner is that we get to throw away assumptions about roles and what power exchange, or any of the BDSM axis, looks like.

We call it slash-dancing, when instead of each of us picking a side we both willingly play from both sides.

For example, part of our dynamic includes a Daddy Dom aspect. So Daddy (that's me) might be pinning his princess down and saying degrading things to her. And Princess might pinch Daddy's nipples really hard and start saying degrading things to him.

And we both end up in this situation where we are Topping and Bottoming at the same time. Now, sometimes this plays out as a fight where someone wins and takes over the whole scene.

But sometimes it just plays out. We're both verbally and physically dominating each other and spending half the time whimpering and whining about what's being said and done, but the other half of the time being growly and menacing.

That's why we say we have a Chaos Switch Dynamic. Because at any given moment it can be hard to tell what direction the power is transferring and sometimes it's both. Not always. The majority of our play is where we are primarily in one role or the other. But often enough that I consider it a core part of what makes us us.

Does anyone else play this way? Either where control fluidly moves back and forth in a scene? Or even where you are both dominating and being dominated at the same time?
