"And, indeed, among the many prostitutes who offer BDSM services, more are dominant than submissive, says Dr. Paul Federoff, a University of Ottawa psychiatrist who has studied sadomasochists. "You also might see a lot of dominant women at a BDSM nightclub," he says, but "although it's not the politically correct answer, more women in the scene are choosing the submissive role." In a study Federoff co-authored last year, he found that among 1,320 self-identified BDSM practitioners who anonymously completed a Web survey, 79% of women reported being "always or usually submissive"; only 35% of men did." - Time Magazine, January 19th 2004 The numbers loosely mean that 35 submissive men (who are generally more aggressive in their 'searches' for a potential mate) are seeking the attentions of roughly 21 dominant women. While I don't, personally, have the statistics availible on behavior patterns of these people online, it's safe to state that men tend to be more proactive in 'seeking' females regardless of their D/s orientation. In short, if you're a male sub, seeking a female dominant, you'd best be ready for some stiff competition. Stephan
