I can relate to this. In the last year, my perception of what is pleasurable and what provides sexual gratification has changed. My idea of rough sex back then seems rather tame and mundane now. Sex and sexual gratification without pain is almost non-existent. I find I become more excited and turned on when the sensation of pain is part of the experience. I can distinctly remember the day that I realized this. It was a few months ago, late at night and my Lord gripped my flesh and I was instantly aroused. There were no words said, no other sensations than just pure pain. Foreplay for me is now pain. Sex or play that doesn’t leave marks and bruises is generally unfulfilling and if it happens to include a little blood play, then it takes hours to come down from that pleasure high. It can be a difficult thing to wrap your mind around. I tend to over-analyze things and many times that is a good attribute. However, there comes a point where the answer to why is, “because that is just the way it is.” I have had to accept that that is just the way I am wired. I like pain and there is nothing wrong with that. I have had to accept this new image of myself. Accepting this took just a shift in perception for me. I realized that I accepted my Lord for finding pleasure in inflicting pain and saw nothing disturbing in that. It then became easy for me to accept myself as a masochist. One thing that I find for myself is that pleasure is also largely a result of my mental state. The same act, no matter what it is, may provide intense pleasure one day and another day will be rather disappointing. It is dependent on the other stresses in my life and how well I am managing my emotions. If you start worrying about not being able to orgasm without pain, then your mental state may prevent you from fully enjoying the experience. My Lord controls when I can masturbate and when I am allowed to orgasm. When I have been given permission to play, I find it takes longer to reach orgasm and is less satisfying to me if I do not actually hear him give permission during the moment. It doesn’t frustrate me or cause any worries though. I realize that simple stimulation does not cause the same intense desire and satisfaction as a good session of SM play or sex. The hardest part in all of this for me has been handling the crave and the ache for more. It is constant, always existing just below the surface. There are times that it is stronger than others, but it is always there. For me sex and play is an empowering experience and the ache for more is sometimes overwhelming. Learning to manage those feelings is taking patience and practice. I would never want to go back to conventional sex and sexual pleasures. I would have to deny a part of me that I now really like. I like the image of myself as a masochist. It excites me, turns me on and empowers me. During a really heavy scene I will feel invincible. Conventional sex just won’t give me that. Knight's kyra
