This section describes some not-very-scientific
statistics from a 2001 poll in which 48 people responded.
Around half of all D/s relationships start out from single people seeking
a dominant/submissive relationship.
Of those who convert an existing marriage
into a dominant/submissive relationship, it is most often the wife who
brings the idea to her husband. (The great majority of married couples
are maledom/femsub.)
Of those who convert an existing unmarried relationship
into a dominant/submissive relationship, it is usually the man who brings
the idea to his girlfriend.
