I think people can read it/enjoy it any way they like but for me, I feel very strongly, in a gut instinct way, that John is the top in the bedroom and in a BDSM relationship. And frankly he’s what Sherlock NEEDS to bring him back down after/between cases. The vibe was very clearly expressed when Sherlock was sulking about the cigarettes and John made it very clear he wouldn’t be getting any. And there’s the way John makes him accept gifts graciously and apologise for his manners. John is the one with the emotional intelligence and the right degree of firmness to use it on Sherlock in a BDSM setting – Sherlock calls the shots on a case and John calls the shots in their personal relationship. They work best that way in my view. I honestly cannot see John as a sub at all. And I wouldn’t trust Sherlock to be a good top.
