The reason being the perception of elitist measurement. Like, "Because I like play that involves blood letting I am somehow a higher level, or better, masochist and they are a higher level, better, sadist." As though, if a masochist does not sustain extreme physical damage then the sadist nor the masochist are not "as good as" those that do that sort of thing. Just a thought on comparisons and ranking different play styles. I call myself a masochist mostly because I don't know what else to call someone who spends her free-time looking for ways to get hurt or getting hurt. Sometimes I like the pain, sometimes I don't and sometimes, I can't tell whether I like it or not. Relative to the general population, I'm one far out freaky bitch. Relative to the bd/sm community, I'm a cautious, conservative player who is excessively pre-occupied with the thought of breaking her bones. Even so, I do some 'edgy' stuff like cutting. Cutting doesn't feel edgy to me. It doesn't really feel painful at all, though Im sure the right person with the right knife could make it painful. At the same time, there's some very main line, introductory stuff I don't go near (when I'm bottoming and have that choice). Clothespins on the tits? Not me. It literally took me years to enjoy a spanking even though tons of vanilla folks do that as a matter of course, without much thought. I guess my point is that, at least for me, its impossible to say how much I love/hate pain and how 'good' a masochist I am. I'm generally well behaved, so in that sense I'm pretty good. But, beyond that, who knows. It depends. Context is everything. These things are situational.
