I'm probably just way over thinking this..... The pain into pleasure thread got me wondering about something. I've always viewed myself as a masochist. Being able to convert pain into pleasure. But, the things that I am able to process best into pleasure are not things that I view as "pain" to begin with, although I see others who see them as painful. Sometimes it seems like exactly the things that I don't see as painful is what others do perceive as pain....and the things that "get them there" are exactly the things that don't do it for me. The things that really do it for me are extremely heavy flogging, punching, kicking, hot wax, spanking, paddles, needles...that sort of thing. To me, those kinds of things are intense sensations....but I don't really register them as pain. The things that I do register as pain are more along the lines of the sharp or unexpected. A well placed smack that comes out of nowhere as you are going through the day, sometimes the feel of the cane or whip, abrasion, a misplaced clamp that grabs only a bit of skin....or a zipper being ripped off. That kind of thing. Also, the pain of holding a position too long or having my arthritic body contorted into shapes it doesn't want to go into. Those things I don't process into pleasure and they will pull me out of that good space. So, I began to wonder, if you don't feel a sensation as painful in the first place...is it really pain that you are processing into pleasure? Does that make one NOT a masochist and just someone who has their wires all crossed? As I said.....I'm probably just over thinking it....
