It depends on what sphere of behavior you're talking about. For example, being submissive in the bedroom is not necessarily always linked to being a pushover at work or in social groups.
Being a submissive person socially I would guess *can* be linked to a cycle of low self-esteem and indecision, although as with these things there're always going to be people who go with the flow because they think it'll make other people happy, and can do so with no damage to their own self worth.
As for how much of the time social subs are bedroom subs, I don't know. Would be interesting to do a literature search of PsycInfo and find out if anyone's studied it :)
Hi, btw. Thought I'd post because it was an interesting questions :p
