BDSM/d/s interchangeable

Question
I only recently really discovered how much of the d/s - bdsm I have in me sexually and was almost in a relationship with someone as I was discovering this. He was primarily into being dominated, but also enjoyed being in control for b/d games, and generally, I am sexually submissive but enjoy dominating in many ways...emotionally I have found it very intense, but ultimately the deepest and truest love I can have with someone. Since we both flip flopped, is it possible to be primarily a submissive but also dominate and vice/versa - can the d/s relationship be defined interchangeably? Thanks very much.  

Answer
yes it is as it is your relationship and it is about what works for you both and nothing more.  People who switch from sub to Dom are called in fact a switch.  But it is most of all about what your needs are and the best ways to meet them.  Life is inside of a different kind of world and so it takes a different kind of loving.  Find what works for you both and hold it dear and enjoy it.
