I suggest beginning with the advice I gave you in my first reply: "As for the submissive thing-you and he should discuss what submissive means to you as individuals and as a couple. It seems to mean something different for every person and every couple."
I am not a big fan of the dominant submissive thing. My personal observation has been that it works better for couples who keep it within a role play framework. There are couples who try to stay within their dominant/submissive personae 24/7-365 and they are the ones who seem to have the most problems with it. When people think it is really real it tends to mess with their heads and cause strife in the relationship. When couples realize it is a game that can be turned on or off depending on the situation and the moods of the players it works better. Again these are my personal observations of and comments from several couples I know who are very experienced in this.
Once the two of you decide what you consider submission or submissiveness to be you will be able to play. You can't play a game if you don't have an objective and rules.
You might decide you want to switch. That means you don't always play the same role; one time you might be the submissive one another time you might be the dominant one. Most of the couples I know who engage in this sort of play have found that this works better for them.
Since everyone has a different personal definition of domination and submission there are many who will disagree with some or all of what I have written.
My wife and I practice Bondage and Discipline and Sadism and Masochism. Many BDSMers, especially the S&M folk, think that everyone should should be dominant or submissive. I like many Bondage people do not agree. I prefer to be called a rigger, a bondager, a sadist, or a top. I allow people to call me dominant if it makes them feel more comfortable
