You don't need to be punished in anyway as you've already given yourself in your entirety. All that punishment &  pain seems to do is detract you from your state? What is it about inflicting from a dom's point of view which is so appealing when you already have total power?

Edited as you posted while i was...

Submission does not have to involve pain; there are many on here who don't enjoy pain (unlike me lol!).  Each to their own...

Its only a start.  For some, pain is pleasure, for others pain is not.  For some, they receive pain as service to another (that would be my boi) and some people don't involve pain at all in their relationships.

Punishment is a whole other issue and I'd suggest you actually search here for that, as well as a pain search here.

For me, punishment is parental and not a part of any relationship I want to have -- its not my thing.  I'm a dominant sadist and I like to inflict pain.  Its often that I'm paired with a masochist who enjoys receiving pain -- its fun, not punishment.

Status: offline 		No, submission does not always involve pain.  But if you've gotten involved with a sadistic dom who wants to inflict pain, it probably will.  If you don't like that, find a dom who is more on the same page as you are.  You're allowed to do that.

Status: offline 		For me relinquishing power is what it is all about. There is no punishment or pain unless it is erotic pain. Sometimes if I get stressed out or overwhelmed something like a hard spanking that makes me cry is cathartic, otherwise there isn't pain in our relationship.
I can't imagine him arbitrarily punishing me, or setting me up so that I fail and deserve punishment but I know that our relationship is unique to us.
Just as every relationship is unique to those involved.

From a beginner point of view it can be frustrating that there are no hard and fast rules, but it really is up to the individuals involved.
If you for example detest pain, then being with someone who won't push pain on your would be a better match IMO. Or if you get off on pain, love pain then someone who is into that would be a better match.

I hope that made sense to you.

Status: offline 		In 7 months I have had to punish metalmiss TWICE... she is a good girl and rarely crosses the lines I have drawn or behaves other than I have taught her than I consider appropriate. A verbal 'warning shot' if her attitude slips a little is enough to bring her back on track.

If I want to indulge in BDSM play, I do so. I don't need to fabricate an excuse to do so under the pretence of it being punishment (Such I see as harmful to the girl anyhow as that is setting them up to fail.... or if they are being bratty to invoke it... then you are rewarding bad behaviour)...... Why do I do it... because I enjoy it and because I can.... However I happen to Own a maso, so it is something she enjoys too

But it isn't 'punishment'....It is BDSM impact play....... submission doesn't have to involve pain... it is an additional and oft enjoyed 'extra' to O/our relationship.

Status: offline 		Back at the beginning though, I know I couldn't manage things as much as now... if that's any consolation.

But on some level, I always enjoyed what I was doing. It wasn't so much about the idea that I'd given everything to him. It was about the idea that this was one more thing I was turning over. And I came to the realization that for me, submission that's easy isn't submission. From that point on, I relished the struggle. It's just a thought.

But it is worthwhile to point out that D/s is not SM although the two can be intertwined. So yes, I'd say there are those out there for whom, D/s is the important part of things - not the SM. It just wasn't my experience.

Status: offline 		It doesnt have to, but dont knock it if ya havent tried it. Erotic pain is suprising. I suggest an experiment. Get spanked, flogged or get a tatoo(if you have wanted one but been afaraid of the pain). Then check your pussy and see if its wet. If it is perhaps you should be willing to explore.

Status: offline 		Pain does not really do it for me ... not like real pain ... a flogging where its essentially a bit of a brutal massage .. now thats nice .... one where it really fucking hurts ... that I am not so keen on
an exampled by the fact I will bounce a spanking bench across the room to avoid one - ask Sir .. He thinks its hilarious but it ruins His back swing
now emotional pain .... hooo hooo hooo ... thats a whole different ball game .. emotional torture, is delicious,

but punishment ... do you mean Punishment, like "You really fucked up, this type of behaviour damages our relationship, this behaviour will change now" ... or like "You .. Slut! ... is this cat hair on my shirt?! ... did you allow cat hair to stray onto my SHIRT!? ... have you, you miserable excuse of a house slave, actually DARED to put out a shirt for me to wear that has CAT HAIR ON IT!!!!!" .... because the first type ... IMHO ... the correction should not be related to play - I would not be able to focus on the lesson I was learning because I would be focussing on the pain

and the second one ... well thats just foreplay

Status: offline 		The short answer is yes, but the longer answer requires some more discussion.

1. What IS pain by your definition?  Would a spanking be "pain", or would it have to be a single-tail session to qualify?

2. What exactly does "relinquishing power" mean to you?  Does it mean that you would be a "service submissive" (one that performs household duties)?  Does it mean you will be sexually submissive?

Note that the more you offer, the easier you will find a compatible Dom.  There's nothing inherently wrong with taking pain (whatever you mean by that) off the table, but it may limit the field of Doms who are interested.  If nipple clamping and especially spanking are off the table, for example, I'm out.

Status: offline 		I think you are confusing masochism and submission.  They are entirely different orientations although they are often seen in the same person.  In math terms they are seperate domains, overlapping but not coterminous,

All you have to do is specify that you don't like pain and that should get the discussion going.  Don't use the word punishment because that is often used only in connection with misdeeds.  For example, I do not punish.  I do scenes that may leave my partner arched and screaming, but that's because we both want that, not because I'm trying to correct misbehavior.

Just try to be clear on what you want and look for someone whose needs and desires are complementary.

Status: offline 		 When you ask "what is it that is so appealing" I really don't know that there is a good answer. I tend to think that people who have an abolute requirement to inflict pain are often immature, wife beaters, bruisers, I agree with you that "technically" the control should be enough. But: there isn't any rulebook for these things. Neither punishment nor pain are necessarily "in the book".

So if that is what you are asking - if for you the most erotic thing is to relinquish control, then find a partner who goes for control. I can, from my own psyche, only tell you that it is the control I crave. I actually later on learned to inflict pain from a couple of subs who insisted, and I suppose consequentially found it erotic to use that as a tool to break down the sub's barriers. But that really does take a willing participant, and I think those who need to inflict pain on an unwilling participant are apt to cross a border that I think is risky to cross. Never take the wrong train, it won't get you there....

Hope that helps..

Status: offline 		As said, submission and masochism ARE separation concepts, although the majority of people don't seem to get that and do not see the two as separate.  Keep looking, you'll find someone compatible.
