On the flip side there are always things i aint going to like but as a SLAVE i accept. As a DOM i wouldnt have to. This whole dynamic thing aint about equality to me though so maybe i think differently to many.


I read this and then I could just imagine saying to my Lord, "If you loved me, you would let me beat the crap out of you so I can explore my sadistic side"   LOL  Not going to happen!!!

I have to disagree with the op. If one partner feels bad about hurting the other, then it is wrong to insist they do so. You might as well say that the masochist in the relationship should give up their pain needs in order to make the nonsadist happy.

Sometimes you just aren't compatible. And sometimes you need to think outside the box. In the case referred to, why not suggest the maso and partner attend public play parties where the maso can get his/her pain needs met while the partner is the one to do the aftercare and reap the emotional intimacy? No ses, no other relationship, just find an occasional sadist like a tennis player will look for someone to play with? You don't have to have sex with your tennis partner or be their best friend, same applies here.


I have found that one not wishing to hurt another, is more of a mental hang-up that really is not that difficult nor hard to overcome.  It's all about the mental frame of mind one is viewing or seeing things in.   I can post more about some how-to-get around this or overcome these hangups.  At least some technique and how to's that can and are helpful. 

I many regards, it's the same with this as many other activities.  A series of doing things over, and mental reconditioning.  This is not uncharted territory for me.  I've been getting people into being able to give me a pain fix for many years now.  It's simply helping somebody see things in a different light, with a different perspective and see and interally process the experience a little differently. 

Hell, I had somebody who once had the same negative reactions as many on here.  It reached a point, that it was literally felt like play for her, complete with light hearted laughter and jokes being made while flogging my back.  This is not some process that it forced within 2.5 seconds flat.   It takes some time and work on. 

You people must think, I'm being some mean ass DOM that insists upon brut force here.  Somebody just does not automatically pick up the flogger with a sudden and instant change of their current mindset.   I am however expressing that it can happen.  However, first you need or one needs to get refocused upon the motivations behind the madness.  If the motivation is "Love", "Pleasing", "Serving" or for "Pleasure"... well that's a pretty good refocus.   I'm not expressing that you are going to turn somebody into a "Sadist".   Actually, who knows you can probally mentally recondition somebody and turn them into a Sadist (never explored that one). 

Good Lord, Mental reconditioning, Mental Conditioning, Training??  Why is it I feel like a two peckered Billy Goat in a Pig Circus right now?  I would think that many people on this site would at the very least be somewhat in touch with some of these concepts?  Don't tell me, they are just as sinful as micromanagement is?  Sinful as Shaping and Molding and is?  God, last week to think I starting to feel so much Vanilla compared some people.   Now, I'm feeling a bit like Syrup on those Waffles somebody mentioned earlier in the thread.

I know what you mean, I think
If some one trust you and you trust him/her..then you can do a lott more. And you should trust on their word.
IF they like pain and they say you don't hurt them..trust them....and satisfy them.
I do try that..but it is hard by times...if they love more pain then you normally give.

LOL... I understand where you are coming from.  However, the core roots of Sadism or Masochism is not about topping/bottoming per se, and is not really about D/s per se either.

The whole topping from the botton thing.  

There was a thread not too long ago, about a DOM that enjoyed Anal play and was into having his submissive do this very thing to him, that is if I recall.  So KatyLied... you statement is not really that far fetched.   Provided the DOM loved having a Strap on taken up his ass.  Be certain to be a good girl and do it the way he trained you and likes it.   Because you know who is really in charge, don't let it get to your head that just because you are giving him the big strap on that you are somehow the Domme and he's the now the little subbie sissy boy.

There are DOM's out there that Love having their Girl Take a Strap on to them. I'm not one of them, but it's only fair to be supportive of those that do.  :^)

It just boils down to basic compatability.  I know myself well enough now to know what I need within a relationship to be happy serving - and one of those things is pain.  I need a Dominant who can provide that, at least in some measure (as he judges best) and who truly enjoys giving that pain.  If someone is swinging a flogger just to make me happy, it's not gonna work very well for either of us.  I need someone who enjoys hurting me as much as I enjoy being hurt.  Self-awareness and honesty are so difficult sometimes - it's very tough for me to acknowledge this about myself, but hey, it's there and it's not going away. 

If someone were to change the rules mid-relationship and decide he didn't want to provide what I consider to be one of my few basic needs, it's up to me to decide whether it's worth staying.  His choice not to provide it .. mine to walk if I need to.

daddy/dom mode kicking in or not, there are some things that don't change or that someone just can't get past regardless of how good their intentions or desires...

a person can't just become sadistic for the sake of their partner, even though there are several non-masochistic bottoms paired off with sadists...

they don't enjoy the sadism; they do it as a trade-off, so to speak, to be with the one they adore.

as for me, i've been with those people who loved me, yet couldn't hurt me, and we aren't together anymore for a reason...

even though they attempted to give me the pain i needed, it was too much in the guilt department for me to handle; knowing they were going against everything that they are in order to keep me happy made me even unhappier.

i say, be true to yourself and your own desires and seek out those whom you are compatable with...

if you feel it's a fair trade-off when you find someone who is willing, even then it goes against their true nature, then by all means, go for it...

just remember ,a leopard never changes its spots and there are other ways to go about it, such as mentioned above, as well as seeking out a sadist play partner on the side, with full acknowledgement and consent of your relationship partner.

"if you love me, you will hurt me"

Besides the obvious and distasteful nature of Manipulation that such a phrase gives me.. there is a decide effort on the part of one person trying to shift their responsibility for how they feel on to another.  I detest this as much as manipulation.

What is wrong with just saying..... "I would like you to hurt me or play with me tonight?"  Yeah.. a person wants play but sometimes that is not what another wants... so... because you can't get it... we are going to make it the person's fault and shift responsibilty... by using manipulative comments.  This way... a person can have someone to blame for not gettting their want or need met.  This also gives the person free licence to all sorts of other negative behaviors towards there partner... because well obviously the person doesn't love me because they didn't hurt me...so why should I have to be nice to them!

This is also no differnt than the Top or Dominant that uses the line "if you love me you would do this!"... it nothing more than manipulation and a shifting of responsibility...

"If you love me, you will hurt me"...  "I trust you, please trust me that you are not causing me any great or real harm"...   The pain you inflict is indeed an expression of your love for me.


I banged out these connected thoughts at the end of my OP.  These thoughts are interconnected to one another.  Be these thoughts one would think to themself or share with their partner.  

I personally do question if one is truely masochistic or not when the issue of Love factors into things.  This however is something that I can not judge another person upon.

I am just aware of issues that keep coming up on the message boards. 

It's OK to hurt those that you love at times.  It does not make you a bad person, it's not a shameful thing.  Not if the person you are hurting wants, needs, and craves it.   Hell, it's not even a bad thing to explore if you or your partner are into the notion of trying it.

At times though, I think many people are caught up in their orientations without having actually done much hands on BDSM.  Even in D/s relationships there is light and moderate switch play of some form that occurs.  Just many people keep quiet about it.  Stuff that really does not effect orientation nor the relationship dynamics at much. 

Actually dare I express this, there are things people have posted that well, are switchy when it comes to their D/s relationship dynamics if one wants to get technical about it even.   Not everybody is in DOM or submissive mode 24/7 all year long and there are various challenges that test the D/s relationship itself.

D/s and S&M and Topping/Bottoming have these larger then life expectations that many people place high up on some fucking Pedastal.  It faulters and fails.  People holding on tightly to these larger then life expections afraid, that if they don't. they will somehow be less submissive, less Dom/me or whatever else.   Less Sadist, Less Masochistic, Less then perfect from being close to the god like status of having a D/s relationship.

There's a number of Doms (male and female) that enjoy pain, hell there are even a number of submissives with sadistic streaks as well.  Just not everybody feels comfortable in expressing and sharing these things out in the public.  Me, I don't give a fuck if somebody knows about my masochistic streak.   Sure, I relate to the world of S&M a little differently because I'm both SadoMaso.  Perhaps I just have that Switchy View of S&M.  It does give me a sense of things from two sides of coin though.

First time, I had somebody ever inflict pain upon my back.  Goes way back to when I was 13 at the time.  Think watching all those Zorro movies got to my brain.  If memory serves me right, Zorro himself got whipped.  Wow, that Guy was a man that could take the fucking pain.  Mmmmmm... How much pain can I take?  Geee... I wonder!   We had an old whip out in the shed, left over from the rural western NY living days.  Got to playing with it, as I had been doing on/off over the years.  Tried it out on myself some.  Over the shoulder hooks to my back.  Mmmmmm.. interesting!  Hey, kewl.. this feels kind of awesome.  Wow...

Girl next door comes over.  I'm showing her this... that it does not rip chunks of skin and flesh out, but wow.. I want to feel somebody do it do me.  Can't get the full effect using it upon myself.   She was reluctant at first.  Did not want to hurt me badly. I reassured her that we'd take it slow and build up.  I wanted to discover my own limits.  Trust me!  Those were part of my words I said to her.  I'll tell you how hard to hit me.  I'll be in control of it, trust me.  Do you trust me?  OK, first couple of blows.. Ok.. a little harder.  A pause, she was double thinking things some.  I spoke her name out loud firmly, then said Do you still trust me? She said yes, then I said do it again harder, I can take a lot more.  Trust me.   After about 10 wacks, she felt more comfortable and confident that she was not causing me great harm.   She already had played with the whip before, we used to snap it around and do role playing some as kids.  At times we had accidently hit one another with it.  However, this was the first time doing it intentionally this day.  

Anyways, worked things up slowly and until I found the stinging sensation at hitting around my limit at the time.  Then she paused again, I asked what was wrong.  She said it was because of my back.  What about my back?  It was turning red and had marks all over it.  So I went to the mirror and checked it out.   It's OK, I've had sunburns worse then this.  Making a joke out of it.  In fact both her and I had had sunburns way worse then that before. 

What suprise me next, was that she wanted me to do it to her next.  She wanted to know what it felt like too.   So she took off her shirt and turned around faced the wall, put her hands on the wall.. and spread and bent for me.  Now, the shoe was on the other foot.  So much for me just testing my own limits.  Seeing how much of it I could take like a man.  Time to wack the girl with the whip.  Instant hard-on is all I can say.  So I started slowly like and worked up.  Stopping and asking questions if she could take more or not.  If it was too much for her all she had to do was say "time out".   Anyways, worked her back up pretty nice and red with marks as well.   She was loving it to death!  Next thing coming out her mouth was would I do this to her ass.  Think I about came in my pants hearing her say this to me.   Sure!!  So she unzipped her pants pulled them down.. then wedged her panties between the cheeks of her ass for me.  WOW... hot damn...  So I ended up working her ass over with the whip.. the beautiful red, pink marks coming to life.  Hearing the sounds come from her.  The moans from the stinging sensation of pain.   Her and I had a no Sex rule between us.  She was protecting her virginity.   Anyways, I told her how fucking horny I was, and that I wanted to jack off and cum all over her ass.  She was kewl with that!!  She pullled up her jeans after I was done.  Said she needed to get back home but would see me later.   Later on that evening she came over and we were joking around about everything that happened... and she confessed about having went home and layed in bed masterbating herself to death afterwards.   LOL... I had done the same thing too!!  Ironically I had taken the whip itself and wrapped it around my balls and cock while I was jacking off. 

All I know, is that I did not know Jack shit about BDSM, the lifestyle or even all these labels and business about orientations way back then.  Was not until years later, that I discovered a friend of mine was into "the lifestyle".   Her and her friend were amazed by the fact, I was into all these kinky off the wall things, I did not know what the Hell I was.  LOL.. another story in itself.

For a number of years, I guess was simply taking the ingorant vanilla approach to all this madness.  Not caught up in the labels, orientations and roles and high ass expectations.  Having to feel to need to live up some larger then life expectations or code of conduct by Old Guard, Leathers or whatever else.

BDSM, kink, S&M is simply a part of who and what I am.   I did not just magically wake up one day and say to myself, I think I'll give this stuff a spin.   I started off doing this shit inside of what many people would consider a very Vanilla world, whatever Vanilla really is.   Recently I was pretty passionate about things over on the Vanilla D/s thread.  

I've never considered myself as officially the member of any BDSM community, not hook line and sinker.  I have been selective about my friendships with people involved in the lifestyle, if they were at least rooted in the reality of day to day life.  Anybody, I've ever known lived regular day to day lives as functional human beings.  

Don't know, at times I feel perhaps too vanilla on the thread, and at times I feel anything but vanilla.

I'm sharing one of my first/early S&M experiences with you guys.  Perhaps it might help you understand the path I've traveled down some to this point in time.  Even after I discovered the lifestyle and was introduced to all the labels and concepts.  Well, I never frankly got very caught up in the labels afterwards.   I do tend to think lately in the last year or so, I've been running the risk of doing so at times.  To be expected considering the amount of posting and reading I've done on this message board.

I really don't have much shame in expressing I'm a Dom with a Maso streak and few other curve balls that throws people for a bit of a mental loop at times.  I've been Master to a slave, done a TPE relationship.  Done the Dom couple thing and stuff inbetween.  Even Twisted kinky vanilla relationships if you can call it that.   I've made my share of mistakes and relationship fuck ups.  The kink, the Sex, the actually BDSM has never been too big of an issue for me.   I've always known that it takes two people to make this work.  It's all the stuff outside of kink, sex and BDSM where issues and problems can occur. 

Hell, I wish I could have found a BDSM shut off valve at one time in my life, I tried to become very vanilla.  Just did not work...  If I try to adhere too much and strictly to all these high expectations or notions many people have about "the lifestyle" that won't really work either. 

I learned a long time ago, that a Dom also has to be in control of both his and his submissive partners needs, wants, desires and kinks.  That it's a bit of a two way street, and I'm in charge of it all.  Sort of like Traffic control director.   Meeting my needs and my partners needs at the same time.  Just because I'm a DOM does not mean that I have to be selfish, self centered to prove my title or existence in life as a DOM.   I don't have to be an asshole about it either.  Well, I do have my asshole moments, trust me I do.

I'm now 42 years old, let's see I started off when I was 13 years old talking somebody into inflicting a little pain upon me, and have been doing it ever since.  Never where it was or became a big issue or source of conflict between me and anybody I have ever been with, ever!!  Perhaps I've just been somehow magically lucky in this department. 

I have had my share hesistate and have a bit of an initial mental struggle with inflicting pain, no big deal.   You'd think to god, that I forced them into doing something that would have had long lasting deep mental damages.  Then again, I was not a hard ass in how I went about it either.  Did play upon or manipulate them into inflicting pain upon me, You bettcha I did!  Yes, Yes, Yes...  without any resentment in the End.  None that I'm aware about.   Perhaps I should send out surveys to all my Ex's and girls I have ever been with.  See if I'm somehow dillusional here.   I mean what if I really am?  Again, I feel a bit like a two peckered Billy Goat in a Pig Circus on here at times.  Kind of like I'm a little out of place.  Which does not suprise me anyways, I'm an Odd ball.  I admit it.

I have actually never played the "if you love me you will...." game with anybody.  It was my intention to make that statement to encourage somebody to rethink LOVE when Love becomes a Road Block to No longer or not inflicting pain upon their Masochistic partner.

Ok, if you love somebody and you truely know their needs and desires.  Do you not do your best at times to at least meet these needs?   TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for meeting your Partners NEEDS?  I resent the pulled out of context approach that this somehow is Deflecting Responsibility when it's about TAKING RESPONISBILITY for your partner, Taking Responsibility for your relationship with them.

Now some people, somehow when the find themselves in a state of LOVE their ability to inflict pain Goes POOF away.   Their partner needs is being negleted.   OH I'm sorry, I can't do that for you anymore because "I LOVE YOU"  this sounds a bit more like a CHEAP Excuse to NOT Take Responsibility for Meeting a Partners Needs.   So you and I are a bit at ODDS over this matter of Taking responsibility.

In terms of Manipulation, people do this to one another on a daily basis!  Hell even the Commercials on TV, shit in fine print in the news papers.  We are surrounded in a world of Manipulation.  There is Manipulation Good and Bad in my book.   Just the use of the word Manipulation by no means means it's an automatic bad thing.   There have been some interesting posts on this matter before.  Even with the automatic negative connotations involved.

If somebody asserts a request upon another person for anything, it's with the hope that the request may be granted.   OH crap, I ask my neighbor if I can borrow their lawnmower because mine just broke.  He says Yes.   There I just Manipulated a bad situation in my favor for the time being!  I get my Grass Cut.  Plus, I don't mind returning the favor.   Reality TV, shows like Fear Factor.. Manipulation, people doing damn near anything to get in the spot light on TV and make a few Dollars.  Manipulation occurs on many levels.   This is how I view manipulation in many regards.  It's not always a bad thing and it's not always a good thing either.

Still back to taking responsibility!  If somebody gets involved with a Masochistic partner and is not prepared or can't meet their partners needs, they should be responsible for it.  Either meet their partners needs or rethink the whole relationship itself if need be.

OH Baby, I'm sorry I can no longer spank your ass because I fell in Love with you, seems to me more like a Cop out if I ever heard one.   If Love is the real reason that is standing in the way, one should think for a moment, that if they Loved their partner So DAMN fucking much, they should be able to Inflict Pain upon them.  Not use it as a excuse to not do so.   This to me, is just an indicator of some mental hang-up or social conditioning that needs to be challenged within a person.   This is my own personal view on the matter.

It appears we have a difference on perspectives or understanding going on.

There is a somewhat interesting comparison I'm going to make here.   In regards to this "If you love me, you will do..."

Time and time again, on the message boards we often see remarks such as...

"Do it for Daddy.."
"Do it for me.."...

This basically is very close if not similar as "If you love me, you will...."

After all why would anybody do it for Daddy?  Think the word love has the remotest connection or motivation behind it?

Oh crap, if I say "Do it for Daddy.." does this make me a bad person for manipulating them and praying upon their love and devotion to me?   God.. somebody hit me over the head with a loony toon mallet...

I have found that one not wishing to hurt another, is more of a mental hang-up that really is not that difficult nor hard to overcome.  It's all about the mental frame of mind one is viewing or seeing things in.   I can post more about some how-to-get around this or overcome these hangups.  At least some technique and how to's that can and are helpful. 



Unless it is a moral boundary for them. Even dominants are allowed moral boundaries. So if he falls in love and discovers that the only reason he could inflict pain was because he didn't love nor respect her, and that he cannot respect himself if he hurts someone he loves, then it cannot and should not be overcome. Because in a situation like that, what's going on is that he hurt women in order to be revenged on some past woman who hurt him and he has now grown enough that he doesn't want to do this anymore.

I enjoy force play, and bondage. My ex was willing to explore it but discovered that it made him feel as though he were a real abuser. It was damaging to his psyche. As such it wasn't something he should have gotten over because it was a moral boundary.

People change and grow, and if you're in this in the beginning to deal with an unhealthy issue, and you deal with the issue, then you aren't going to want or need to do the unhealthy thing any more. Telling someone they 'should' still do this is tantamount to telling a recovering alcoholic they 'should' have a drink to stay part of the crowd.

I can have a social drink without it causing me any trouble. But those in recovery can't and shouldn't, and anyone who manipulates them to do so is a bad person. It isn't about the action per se, it's about the underlying motivations in a case like this.

The op speaks to me. MasterK and I had a conversation about this once while we were playing. He was beating my ass quite nicely, and asked me what it felt like.
My answer was that it felt like an act of love, which was the truth for me. If he never wanted to beat me again, I don't know how I'd react.

When I read the initial post, I did not see any manipulation intent in the phrase, "If you love me, you'll hurt me." What I interpretted it to mean is something along the lines of, "Know that I love you and trust that by doing as I wish, you are not hurting me in a real sense, but making me feel loved."

This is an issue that Daddy and I deal with occasionally; when his love for me and desire to keep me safe, overrides his desire to hurt me. It takes a lot of communication, but it can definitely be worked out to please both parties.

I have found that one not wishing to hurt another, is more of a mental hang-up that really is not that difficult nor hard to overcome.  It's all about the mental frame of mind one is viewing or seeing things in.   I can post more about some how-to-get around this or overcome these hangups.  At least some technique and how to's that can and are helpful. 


Unless it is a moral boundary for them. Even dominants are allowed moral boundaries. So if he falls in love and discovers that the only reason he could inflict pain was because he didn't love nor respect her, and that he cannot respect himself if he hurts someone he loves, then it cannot and should not be overcome. Because in a situation like that, what's going on is that he hurt women in order to be revenged on some past woman who hurt him and he has now grown enough that he doesn't want to do this anymore.

I enjoy force play, and bondage. My ex was willing to explore it but discovered that it made him feel as though he were a real abuser. It was damaging to his psyche. As such it wasn't something he should have gotten over because it was a moral boundary.

People change and grow, and if you're in this in the beginning to deal with an unhealthy issue, and you deal with the issue, then you aren't going to want or need to do the unhealthy thing any more. Telling someone they 'should' still do this is tantamount to telling a recovering alcoholic they 'should' have a drink to stay part of the crowd.

I can have a social drink without it causing me any trouble. But those in recovery can't and shouldn't, and anyone who manipulates them to do so is a bad person. It isn't about the action per se, it's about the underlying motivations in a case like this.


Thank you very much!  DesFIP you rock.  You have made some extremely valid points in contrast to what I posted.  Thank you.  Actually it's a sort of sad thing to think about it.  However, very real and very valid points.  Goes back to motivations behind one engaging in S&M play.

Again thank you, and I feel your post actually just contributed something of very Great Value to this thread.  It actually touches upon if what we do at times is indeed healthy or not.  Touches upon the fact that some people have some very deep and real issues in the lifestyle and in engaging in S&M in the first place.

As somebody expressed and directed towards me and my maso reset button.  It's probally the result of some early childhood trauma, and I'm alright with it.  However, what if, one day..  it all magically disappeared and went away?  Would I myself still have a Maso streak or not?  Would I want somebody to hurt me or the desire to hurt myself at times?  Who knows... 

But you bring a great point up when it comes to Sadistic side of the coin.  That Anger or using Sadism to lash out as a controlled outlet, what if one falls in love with somebody.  They no longer wish to use the object of their affection as an outlet for their anger or whatever else.  That doing so would result in damage to their psyche.  I've never meet or encountered anybody where this was the case yet.  If I ever do, I will have to cross that bridge.   Thank you again.  Anyways, back to what you expressed.   The comparison to a  recovering alcoholic was an excellent one as well.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, I'm sitting here literally thinking in depth a little more in opposition to everything I just posted.  I do feel that what I posted needs to expand upon and account for what you just posted.   I was a little caught up in expressing one side or view on this.  Mind you.. I feel that what I posted May be helpful to some people.   However, at the same time, you just brought something to this thread that should be taken into consideration.

Interesting spin and turn for the good on this thread.  I've never encountered this issue before myself personally, however, if I were to run into the damage to the psyche wall.  I would have to back off.  Perhaps it's the fact that I'm a dominant, and I've only had one Dominant partner in crime who did not have a sadistic hangup.   The fact that I've had willing subbie, vanilla or switch girls that had no real deep seated issues with inflicting pain upon me.  I know that at times, there has been intial moments of hesistation and even where my partners were reluctant to inflict pain, they were able to get over this hurdle.  Get past the mental conditioning of society or of how they were raised.   Mmmmmmm.....

Now, your posts adds a whole different dimension on things.  One that should be taken seriously.  Thank you.

Think this is where good communication between two people needs to occur, to get down to the bottom of matters and the root of the issue.  Is it something that can be fixed or addressed.  Perhaps the things I have been posting for awhile on this thread may be helpful.  However, at the same time, it just might not be the solution either.

I think anybody who has been following this thread, should take a moment to consider this POST that DesFIP just made. 

With that said, If you love somebody try to understand the difficulty they are faced with hurting you as well. 

It was my intention to start a thread up, and address this issue.  It really does hurt and causes some submissives/bottoms a great deal of true pain.   It actually is confusing for some subs/slaves/bottom to deal with then this occurs out of the blue.  To hear "I love you too much, I can no longer hurt you".  

For me, I personally hold or place a great amount of weight on the Dominant being in charge of the show, being responsible for how things are going.  Being responisble not only for themselves but also their submissive partners.  I myself hold myself accountable to this measure of thinking and to this standard.   If I were to fail to met a masochistic partners needs in this department, I myself would feel the need to drag my own ass out back behind the woodshed and kick myself in the ass.  Pull myself together and get back in touch with the program.   This is how I tend to treat my ownself.  

I am expressing a little more detail view into my mindset, so that others will know what planet or school of thought I've been coming from.

There is a possible flaw in my thinking and in the things I have been expressing on this thread up to this point.  DesFIP has literally nailed the flaw on the head.  Thank you.

I don't not believe everything I have expressed is somehow totally Null and Void, it's something I feel is worthy to explore in terms of getting past or working past social or mental conditioning.  However, in some cases, S&M is not truely a healthy thing for some people and when they fall in Love, they come to terms and realize it was not a healthy thing all along for them.  Back to alcoholic who stop drinking.

As it was said, best to be true to yourself.   "Know Thyself!"  this is a bit of a premise that I try to operate under.   In fact, one of my earliest encounters and friendships from this site, was with a "Daddy's Girl" and her and I would have constant email exchanges.   "Know Thyself!" was one of the things her and I talked about.   In fact, her and I even laughed about the number of people that still needed to "Know theyself!" a little better.   However, if you really want to get a feel for the level of conversation her and I used to have.   You can best do a little reading...  Here's a wonderful link..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_thyself

I myself am not perfect and I'm not always 100% right, think even this thread is living proof of this fact.  However, know that I had the best of intentions with starting this thread.  It is an issue that occurs from time to time.  It's a source of disspointment and heatache.   

In fact some of these DOMs who have fallen in love with their maso submissive/bottom, may/might only find more heartbreak in the end, should the relationship come to and end over such as issue as this.   Where the very object of their Love and affection packs it in to find somebody who can meet their masochistic needs.   It's a sort of catch 22, one full of heartbreak and disspointment.  Perhaps the sub/bottom is the one who can make adjustments.   It all depends upon how strong of desire, need or want their masochistic streak is.  For some people S&M play is the core or root of their BDSM involvement, everything else is bit secondary.  For some people D/s is more of the primary focus.   It all depends. 

However back this basic premise... of "Know Thyself".   At times, it's not as easy until you have lived through an experiences that challenges and tests who we are as people.  To see what we really are or are not made of.   Hence, even my remarks about being Tested.

Even my posts on this message board have been tested by others.  A process to go through and experience.  So with that said, my mind is somewhat a little more expanded and become open some to another facet to this topic that I was not seeing.  I have grown somewhat in this endevor of attempting to bring to light a serious issue that occurs in other people relationships.

I am certain, that this thread has made some people stop for a moment and think about things as well.  Which is the whole intention of my thread.

Thank you, this was the original message I was trying to express with the grouping of phases I used together at the end of the OP.   I'm happy that you and your Daddy are able to communicate and have dealt with this issue.  I feel that in most cases this can be worked out as well.   I hope that this is the case for some other people's relationships as well.

This post comes at a good time.
I have a real life friend whos in a relationship with a dom type ....shes a pain slut. He can't come to terms with this and is afraid of hurting her, it's destroying their relationship to the point that shes seeking what she needs elsewhere. So far she hasn't actually had sex with anyone else but she does have a mistress she sees occasionally. I'm really hoping that he at least gives this some exploration before it's too late.
I'm going to show your post to her in the hopes it sheds a differant aspect of light on her. Thank you.
