A switch is someone who enjoys taking both dominant and submissive roles depending on the partner, the mood, or the scene. Rather than identifying strictly as a top or bottom, a switch moves between the two.
Switching often comes down to chemistry and energy rather than a fixed preference. Some people switch only with certain partners, some rotate roles within a single relationship, and some find their position shifts naturally as a scene unfolds.
Worth knowing: Switching partners or roles mid-relationship works best with clear and ongoing communication about who is leading, who is following, and how limits and safewords apply in each direction.
Also called: vers, versatile, top-leaning switch, bottom-leaning switch, true switch, service switch, role fluidity
