I watched something recently I found on the history channel and it got me thinking. Do you consider different positions to be those of power or being submissive? I don't want to get in trouble for this so keep it clean please.
I just happen to find the way different people perceive these things very interesting.

It depends, but yes. I think for the most part they are.

Most definitely. There are power positions for sure. Submissive too.

What got me thinking was the show stated that men in higher society in Pompeii saw sex as a thing of power. Stating that the one it was being "done" to was the one being submissive and the one doing it, in a position of power. Surely, in general if someone knows that their partner prefers certain positions, or will last longer or short amount of time etc that they certainly have some control based on the position they choose, or rather "submit" to.

I think the missionary and doggy are more dominant for the male, and female on top is more dominant for female, and variety is the spice of life!

I think it's really hard to say. Some people outside of being just a vanilla "Submissive" or "Dominant" are Sub-Switches/Dominant-Switches.
