ORIGINAL: cyber I am sure it is not a new topic, but I am still curious to know others' idea about relationship between sex and BDSM. I am sure some of you came cross the comment that BDSM is all about sexual pleasure. In the other hand, there are lot of strong ideas about BDSM as a life style and rather than sexual activity. Personally I am interested in sexual pleasure which I get from role playing, discipline and domination. However, I heard a lot that some people enjoy a D/S play or bondage with no direct sexual pleasure. Or may I say no obvious sign of sexual pleasure. So the question is that, how interest to BDSM can emerge in someone with no direct sexual pleasure or giving reality to fantasies that give of sexual enjoy.[8|] Honestly, how is it that people act as though this is such a mystery? -And often, most often, implying that it can't *really* be without a sexual angle, as about again did. So, how's that sewing/fishing/mopping/reading/flower-arranging getting you hot? How can there *not* be a sexual side to that? Not the same because there's not person-to-person contact with those? Assume one's doctor is getting aroused from checking your ears? Or I am while piercing someone's nose? Must these also have some sex somewhere? I am an intensely sexual person requiring sex a few times a day to be comfortable. I love it, it's a beautiful, tender, violent, spiritual, animal thing that I am thankful is in my life... But my BDSM is non-sexual. I feel zero attraction towards my submissives. I get no arousal from topping another. Topping is more like drawing or body-modding for me. It's enjoyable in the same way, in a creative way. Bottoming when there is no power exchange feels great but doesn't arouse me at all, either. It's mostly similar to meditating. Again there's no sexual charge, it feels good without it just as getting my nails done or getting a massage does. The only time I ever feel sexual arousal during BDSM play is when submitting and bottoming at the same time to my spouse. And that's only rarely during very specific scenes. Most times with him I don't feel any arousal during it, I just enjoy the play as I would any other game and enjoy any sensations similarly. I don't understand why some people can't grasp it. You can sit on a couch with someone, legs touching, and never feel an ounce of stimulation. Or you can sit there burning with lust. It's the same thing. A person can yank another's hair and feel lust, anger, playfulness, or even nothing... Just because you interact with another person doesn't mean it's sexual.
