quote:
Do you find pain pleasurable? Do you enjoy humiliation? Is bondage liberating? I've always said that the difference between pain and pleasure is really nothing more than perception. Taken to their basest forms, they are both just an electrical impulse sent from nerves to the brain. Once there, you brain decodes and quantifies the impulses and tells you whether it's pleasure or pain. I joke that I'm allergic to pain and freely admit to being a wuss. For example, if you just walk up to me and pinch my nipples, I will probably tell you that it hurts (after I scream and possibly call you a bad name or three!). But if you start slowly and let the endorphins build a bit first, you can twist, pull, squeeze, whatever, and I'll probably beg for more. I'm not much into humiliation - but again, I think it's a thing of perception. There is something to be said for the way I feel when I'm bent over in front of my Master. I love the way his eyes feel and his fingers probe when he's inspecting me. Some might find that humiliating. I love the way I feel when I'm bound. I love to struggle against my bonds. I love feeling helpless when I'm around people that I trust. But I have panic attacks if I'm helpless around people I don't know well, don't trust. I think I've decided on a theme here - perception. How much I enjoy my bondage depends on how I perceive the situation surrounding it. If I'm bound to my bed at home and I know that my Master is in the other room watching television or even just watching me, I feel content. If I'm bound because we're going to play and he doesn't want me to thrash and hurt myself, then I feel safe and cared for.
