ORIGINAL: MstrTiger I have no problem telling people I am sexually dominant though I usually like to avoid referring to myself as a sadist, usually people immediately think of the Marquis De Sade and therefore usually see a sadist as a shocking pervert who would torture anyone for their own self gratification. They don’t really see it in context, I think the main source of satisfaction for many sadists is exerting a controlling influence over the masochist and also by seeing the indirect pleasure being experienced by them from the pain they are undergoing. I can understand somewhat. I shied away from that label as well, specifically because when given that label as a child by a psychiatrist, can be a scary thing for all involved! *g* But over time, some therapy and self-introspection, learning to control and propery channel it was a necessity to refrain from an outcome like DeSade. When discovering formalized BDSM, I was thrilled and thinking finally folks who will understand and accept my sadisitic identification. Wrong, some still remained unsure and even others flocked to me like a moth to flame. Anyway, I don't shy away now from the term within my BDSM community and ProDomme communications but embrace it and rejoice in it - although I do have to clarify occassionally exactly what being a Sadist means to Me and those with whom I intend to interact. As to the main source of pleasure for most Sadists being the control, influence or the indirect pleasure given, possibly so for some. Not for this Lady, while those factors are lovely icing on the sadistic cake for Me, my main source of My sadistic pleasure comes from infliciting physical pain - but hey, that's just Me! *g* Lovely site, You have there Master Tiger!
