My Lady was there with me the whole time.    I should also add that my tears were not from pain, but of raw emotion.  Dunno why but flogging is very emotional for me and the tears just flow unbidden.

Not sure I understood your question about "Play" and the use of that term.  Play is typically when a dominant and a submissive or slave have a period of time where they interact within the dynamic - it can be bondage, sensation, service - a bunch of things would qualify as "play" and I assure you it can be quite real.  So not sure if it was just the term you were questioning, or if there was something else?

"Submissive Male" for me...was a term that I took a while coming to terms with and getting comfortable in my skin being.  Being a submissive male in private with an intimate dominant partner is one thing...taking it out to a local club was for me something altogether different, and yes, I did have to settle in to that environment and see that in these BDSM focused environs, there is a place for being a sub male.  It is not bad, no one looked at me as if I had grown a second head, but it really helped me to see that and experience it to be comfortable in the space.
