ORIGINAL: PeonForHer I find the mix of anxiety and arousal absolutely fascinating, from both intellectual and practical perspectives. I do too. It's funny, but the threat of certain sorts of "punishment" are both a turn-on and andi something I'd be anxious about and would genuinely wish to avoid. At bottom, I think the problem is simply this: that it's assumed that someone can only have one feeling at a time. Most especially, it's assumed that certain sorts of feelings are mutually exclusive. One cannot feel scared and excited at the same time, for instance. Oh really? Most fairground rides are designed on the principle that the opposite's true. Freud said that when people dreamed, all the feelings in the psyche got let loose, whether or not they contradicted one another. "Contradiction", anyway, has no meaning to the unconscious world. You want to tap into the big unconscious drives and all the powerful erotic stuff they can produce: just accept first that the unconscious looks like a mass of contradictions to the conscious mind - and you're already well on your way to nirvana. Well, that's my little hypothesis, anyway. Of course P, you realize that your statement makes you the -ideal- candidate for a dress. **Lord, I apologize for selling my poor subbie mate down the river..really I do...**
