I like to have control, too. Who doesnt? Yes, I can ler, but,. I also like to lee.
I can think of some people I know, who love to have control, and yet, are still lees. I dont think one can really equate lee with control, or lack thereof, because, what someone might be out of bed, or out of a tickling situation, doesnt mean that they are in bed, or in a tickling situation. You could have the biggest control freak CEO in the world, or the most successful man or woman alive, financially, and in their career, and they might just love being dominated by a significant other, and tickled until they scream.
To me, control, tickling, and lees are different things, so you really cant say that a submissive person is always a lee, and a dominant or control person is always a ler. It doesnt work that way. There are variables, depending upon who it is, who the person is with, and what the situation they are in involves.
