Since neither Simon nor Wallace feel compelled to correct Jamie's assumption, I suppose I should step in and mention the obvious fact that a preference for dominant or submissive behaviour in the context of a BDSM scene does not necessarily correspond to behaviour outside of that scene.

Also, ten points if you know the episode of Gargoyles that inspired the idea of metasubmissiveness.

0281-------------------------------------

(Thursday afternoon, INT: WW and SW's apartment)

WW: Simon is metasubmissive.
JH: Metawhatnow?
SW: See, of all the members of our poly relationship, I'm the only one that's into BDSM in a major way.
--------------
WW: Hence, we have days set aside for Simon, where we indulge his particular fetish to the best of our ability.
SW: We call'em S&M Tuesdays, and they're friggin' awesome.
--------------
SW: Tuesday is my day to shine. When the third day of the week rolls around, I make Golden Age Wonder Woman look like a vanilla milkshake. I'm kinkier than a two dollar garden hose and I take more hits than Willie Nelson's bong.
WW: Basically, we tie him up, we beat the shit out of him, we engage in all his favourite little fucked up power mindgames that he loves so much...
--------------
WW: ...and, at the tail end of the session, the very last torture we inflict on him is to order him to be proactive, assertive and dominant for the next six days.
SW: I'm in assertive mode right now. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable, which is awesome.
