Oh, oh. My very favorite topic. Blood play, is without a doubt, my #1 kink. It's messy and sacred and painful and exhilerating all at the same time. The messy used to be a problem as I was ruining expensive towels but then we discovered the joys of heavy mm drop cloths (for painters) and can get 4 uses out of a single sheet for just a few dimes per use so that problem was solved by the good ol' folks at our local hardware store.

The fun stuff - there is a wicked delight in the spilling of blood for me. Everything from watching it drip out of my own body forming into different patterns to the actual sensations garnered by the cutting itself and the wonderful designs that can be made on a human canvas with a combination of knife, needles .. maybe some colored wax and strategic rope use to round things out. There is a stillness and calmness that takes place inside me when I am trying not to move (have had accidents with sudden movement so I do try to be extra careful in this area but.. eh, shit happens don't it?) during a scene. Couple that with some low background sounds and it's a little taste of heaven on earth which I find very appealing on a visceral level. Most of SM provokes reaction from my baser instincts which is one of the reasons that I really enjoy that sort of play but some of them hit up my spiritual and intellectual sides as well and blood play is in that category.

Intellectually, I am very aware of the danger involved in allowing too much blood to spill so the edge is right there to tumble over if we're not careful. Spiritually, blood is life, running all the parts of my body so they are in sync and allow my existance, allow me to give birth, to feed what grows in my belly (though those days are long past for me now) and so I consider it sacred and with the spilling of it, as in blood letting, is like defying gods.. and puts me, mentally, into another place far away from my mostly mundane activities. I love everything about blood.. the smell, the taste, the sight.. how it makes me feel when it's spilled, the way my pulse races when I know I'm going to be doing a scene with blood letting. It's almost like my blood itself is pounding from the inside of my flesh to get out, be freed and I am more than happy to accomdating the demand knowing it's a renewable resource and will replenish itself in time. Fascinating stuff, blood. Too much spilled and I know I could die.. just the right amount and I fly. Love it!

After my partner and me were screened, we took a file of each others blood, mixed it with vodka and drank it like a shot. Blood bonding is incredible and deeply intimate.

Not any ones blood has this effect on me. I can watch someone else doing needle play and get nothing out of seeing those specks of blood on the flesh. I have worked with needle bunnies where I feel absolutely nothing.

I've never engaged in what might be considered Major Blood letting, I have had a thing for using lancets.

So this. I don't want to drink anyone's blood but his.. and he mine. I can't describe the feeling.. it's overwhelming when we feed on each other but I can't begin to imagine it would feel like that with anyone else. I think it's the entire package.. the blood, the power, the shared love we have for one another and the pleasure and pain we derive from such a raw and rare exposure to what flows inside.

I love the idea of doing blood shots. We have never tried it with alcohol mixed in. I am going to see if it's something he would like. He does have a fondness for Absolut.

For sure it's not for everyone but it is so different than any of the other wet sorta stuff. Blood has to be actively sought. It doesn't just spill on its own so it's precious in that regard as well. Don't get me wrong.. I'm a Pisces, so I'm all over the wet stuff (fish have to stay wet to survive after all!) but the blood is alway hidden just below the surface and when that surface is cut open and it wells forth, I get hungry for it.. like I said, so long as it's his. :D

This thread is getting me itchy for some blood play. Himself is in Portugal right now, but we are going to Rome this weekend to go see the ballet of Romeo and Juliet. I'm thinking a blood letting would be a perfect end to that evening. I'm going to suggest it and see what he thinks. I'm also out of drop cloths right now so I'd better quit this thread or I'm going to be ruining some more towels. ::laughs::
