Defining Roles: Doms and Subs

Who can be a submissive? There are male, female, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender submissives.

Often I stop trying to define what people define themselves as on the street so much as try to focus on what they are in my chambers. These are TWO different things entirely. Similarly, I do not regard financial status, race, or sexual skill level to be factors in becoming a sub. I have seen all of these as well. The only thing that matters when it comes to WHO can be a submissive is age. Anyone under 18 is illegal here in the USA. While anyone over that is technically of consensual sexual, I find that anyone under the age of 21 is still not experienced enough to know what they want. Please check in your jurisdiction and always verify a persons age before engaging in sexual activities.
