ORIGINAL: LunaVenus I have 2 questions 1) What are some of the most VILE and REPUGNANT things done in bdsm that you could never see yourself doing? There aren't too many that I can say I'm sure I'd never do. But there are a couple. And what's vile to me isn't vile to someone else. In other words, what makes someone else feel humiliated for example, might gross me out, but I can understand a desire to be humiliated, and if doing xyz gets it done for someone, and it takes abc to get it done for me, it's all really the same thing in a fundamental sense, regardless of the specific act. quote:
2) I have a real difficulty understanding the psychology of a sadist or a masochist. Please try to explain your view of what is at the root of such desires to torture or be tortured and view it as love. I don't think there's one answer that fits all people. For me, it's about a particular intimacy that is felt when I engage in sadomasochistic actions. It's something that I feel with the person who I'm engaging with, and it's something that I can't really experience in any other way. Part of it is the vulnerability and the loss of control and the level of trust it takes to put that in someone else's hands. And part of it is enjoying all those different and sometimes conflicting emotions that are occuring. quote:
To answer my own question.... number one at least, I find most acts in BDSM utterly vile and repugnant. If not they are totally nonsensical at best. Eating shit, drinking urination, inserting pins and needles through body parts just to see what happens, desiring welts on the body from whipping or desiring to give them for that matter, torture in any aspect, cries of agony. Again, it's not so much about the specific acts, I think. It's more about the feelings that those acts evoke. Everyone has different associations with different acts. It's not about getting pissed or shit on (or whatever) in and of itself. It's not like "ooh yeah, I love getting peed on for the sake of getting peed on", it's more like "I love how it reduces me", "I love how it makes me feel marked as his" "I love how it makes me feel small" "I love how it pleases him to do that to me" etc etc. It's what the act represents. quote:
As a natural dominant who is not a sadist, these are things I personally view as undesireable. I can NOT answer question number 2. I can not get my mind around why anyone would equate torture with love. It is certainly not necessary for dominance even. Love can be interpreted and expressed in so many various ways. If you can wrap around that, then you can wrap around how someone can equate "torture with love". Also, not everyone experiences, looks for, or expects love in their relationships. Anyway, I'm sure I don't speak for everyone, but this is my take on it, in very short and general terms.
