Am I alone, or do most men feel the need to occasionally play the 'submissive' role in the relationship, and for the traditional roles to switch? No I don't have any gender identity issues and am not gay, but I like the idea of at least sometimes being dominated and even pampered (not in a mothering way) by my woman at times. At times I can feel like the dominant 'male' partner, but it would get boring it if was like that ALL of the time. I'm talking in the bedroom or anywhere else, I sort of like the idea of a woman who truly takes charge, not only in a bossy/catty way.
Are most men satisfied to mostly or always be making the moves socially, sexually or otherwise? Do most men feel threatened if the woman starts being the giver instead of the receiver? Do most women sometimes want to be dominant, and do some men even become bisexual to fulfil this need? Does thinking this way make me some kind of 'beta male' in the eyes of some?

I've read that men in stressful jobs or jobs with a lot of responsibilities are more likely to want to be dominated...no idea how true that is though. It could be one of those myths...
I don't think it's that unusual to have fantasies like you're hinting at, or even to try them out. And I don't think anything that you do with a partner of the opposite gender makes you bisexual, even if it involves an exit being turned into an entrance now and then.
And from the woman's perspective, it is fun to be the one in charge now and then.
A successful marriage to many people is a marriage of equals. My husband has never dominated me, nor I him, unless it's an occasional or accidental occurence. Why would a woman want to be "dominated" in a marriage? A man is going to make decisions on finances, vacations, free time, the TV remote? No way. Same with the woman... she shouldn't be making all the decisions either. It should be 50/50 or at least 60/40 most of the time.
My older brother is like that. His wife is the dominated one and he is the submissive one. I think it is because my mother was very opinionated and dominate and he grew up around a women like that and then married the same type of women.

Thinking in itself does not make you a "beta male".
I do take charge but not in areas where my husband would want to.

In the bedroom I've been dominant at times. As a couple, I think you assess strengths & weaknesses in areas and divide accordingly. But ultimately, I have to say honestly it's a turn-off to me as a woman if a man expected me to make all the moves and be the dominant one in the relationship.
However, I know of a few couples where the women seems to be the dominant one so it can work. As far as a guy becoming bisexual for his partner...naw, he is already, he just isn't comfortable enough to act on it on his own. Being dominated in that respect provides a good excuse.
