ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious I've always thought 'what a wonderful attitude', but I've never felt like it was my place to say so-this is, however, MY THREAD, so I'm going to say it: yours is a wonderful attitude to have, IMO. Again, yum. This thread is simultaneously making me happystupid and guaranteeing me a place in hell... Aww, you're really sweet, thanks! There are a few things that I almost always enjoy that sensation, or have a reliable/reproducible effect on me. I have to give a lot of the credit to the Sadists/Tops/Dominants who introduced me to scary new things in a way that I enjoyed. It's easy to be game to try new things when it almost always goes well! That's one of the few situations in which I'll make a special request, if I want to try something new, with someone who is experienced with it. My pain tolerance isn't as high as some people's, I'd consider myself to be roughly mid-range, so I know if someone hits me hard enough with anything more intense than a bunny flogger, they can probably injure me or hurt me, especially if I'm not in subspace yet. One time, while I was flying, I accidentally bonked my head on a beam (they had me stand up on the table, and I guess I was a little taller than they thought). It didn't hurt a bit at the time, I just giggled, but I had a goose-egg for about a week afterward. Thankfully, I didn't give myself a concussion, but with that level of endorphins, I'm not sure if it would have hurt if it had! Nah, nothing wrong with being a sadist! I'm one too, and I'm not bound in that direction. BTW, I know a lot of people who enjoy sensory deprivation, but I don't know anyone else who goes to subspace from sensory overload when the deprivation ends. Some people I've played with like taking advantage of it, but some don't want me floating off so quickly! If I think I could be submissive to someone, I need him or her to hurt me to a degree I don't like, before I can be sure. It's one of the things that the way I react is very tied into my perception of D/s or M/s. I don't need them to only hurt me in bad ways, or do it all the time, but if I don't respond by wanting to suffer for them, I have difficulty being submissive toward them. I can still obey and do service-oriented things, but it's not the same mindset. I hope your leg is all better soon!
