Yes it's another poll, sssh.

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.)

Well, that was an easy decision xD.

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.
