In [[BDSM]], a '''switch''' is someone who participates in BDSM activities as both a [[Top (BDSM)|top]] and a [[bottom]], or possibly both a [[Dom]] and a [[sub]].
 
A switch will be the top on some occasions and the [[Bottom (BDSM)|bottom]] on other occasions.  Switches are very common; partners may switch roles based on mood, desire, or being with a different partner.
 
  
A switch may be in a relationship with someone of the same primary BDSM orientation (two dominants, say), so switching provides each partner with an opportunity to realise his or her unsatisfied BDSM needs with others.
 
 
A person who engages in [[self-bondage]] can be viewed as taking both roles simultaneously.
 
 
Some people can have problems with switches which stems from the fear of that which is not easily labelled or indentified.
 
A category of persons who share "switch" characteristics but do not identify themselves as "switch" are also known as [[omniviant]]
