proudsub, I can only guess as to the why, but it seems that a general consensus about what should and should not be acceptable has evolved online. (I am not suggesting that just because I want to do something like eat a person still alive, women should be lining up at my front door to fulfill my wish mind you.) The consensus that sadism is only ok if the masochists 'limits' are respected and adhered to seems contrary to the fundemental concept of S&M. I am also a sadist - though like Lawrence, my enjoyment is out of the intensity of the responses of interaction - not the methodical administration of painful endeavors. Different masochists desire different types and amounts of pain to achieve satisfaction, just like different submissives and slaves have different needs when it comes to their submission. The statement you shared from the Dom's profile is certainly valid in my mind - he doesn't seek to 'please' the masochist by, say, scratching her itch - because in his mind, he's just doing what she wants. His interest seems to be in rendering the masochist so vulnerable through his actions, that a very different sort of 'pleasure' is experienced - one that would seem (and possibly be) just as destructive as a person who cuts with knives or burns with flame - but again, if everything is within predetermined boundries and expectations, why should his desire for a more intense (or less 'mutually' pleasent) interaction be any less valid then the more commonplace activities and attitudes that we hold to? It's a complicated matter, I hope I didn't confuse anyone.... Stephan
