Okay so looking at the kink meme requests made me want to ask this. Respond for what you personally think. Feel free to elaborate in comments. I apologise in advance for the limitedness of the poll options; I wanted to keep it simple to get a general trend.

(My personal tip is that the voting trend will be towards Lister being sub/masochist and Rimmer being Dom/sadist. I look forward to seeing the results.)

I'm not really surprised by these results. :D

IMO, the whole Dom/sub dynamic would not make sense to Lister. He'd giggle at it, shake his head, and move on. I'm sure he'd try to go along with it if a partner was submissive or dominant, but he'd have a hard time with it, especially being dominant or sadistic (in BDSM terms). I guess you could classify that as being switchy, but I'd rather say "other", because, again, I don't see him as being part of any such dynamic.

And honestly, Rimmer being cracktastically submissive is smegging canon.

TL;DR - I can see a really confused, annoyed and conflicted sub OR dom Lister, but there is no way in Hades I could ever imagine a dominant Rimmer. Though, I suppose, I could certainly see him TRYING to be dominant. (Again, that's pretty much canon.)

Also; a submissive Lister wouldn't really be submissive, because for that to work at all, he'd have to top from below, because Rimmer would have no idea what he's doing. (Yes, I think about this too much. :p)

Low Rimmer does say a lot about Rimmer's psyche, but I've always seen it as more of a manifestation of his kinky side, rather than a dominant side.

I'll be he wishes he were dominant, though!

(There are so many potential fics here.)

I try to imagine Rimmer trying to do dirty talk and failing miserably.

Rimmer: I'd like to um... invade your... uh... principality, and um... shoot my cannon into your... your... rampart?
Lister: Just take your pants off, smeghead.
