AAkasha -> Erotic reactions to fear (12/2/2010 1:41:44 PM)

Can femdoms smell fear? Like bees and dogs? Is that from Jerry Maguire? So what is it about fear anyway? I had an idea in my head that I would love to do an experiment that went something like this. If I sat down across from a man who I found attractive, and who was a capable roleplayer, if he was to simply express absolutely "believably authentic" fear, would I get wet? Would I get turned on? Even if there was no reason for the the fear, the fear was obviously fake, and I wasn't even responsible for the fear? When I play this out in my head, I tend to think, yeah, I would get turned on. For whatever reason, even if it's just a manufactured visual portrayal of fear, I find it really undeniably arousing. But the thing is, it has to look real -- ie, no silly, over the top, goofy portrayals of fear. It has to be subtle, seductive, erotic to me. Physical demonstrations of fear really turn me on: changes in breathing, eye contact/no eye contact/eyes down, the right kind of fidgeting, an appropriately timed swallow, the sound of breath changing into a subdued whimper. But at the same time, totally campy, outrageous, exaggerated, goofy portrayals of fear do nothing for me. Of course, the best kind of fear is the honest, impromptu, provoked, real fear that comes organically from good BDSM. And of course I don't mean real fear, like "oh my god, is Akasha going to kill me?" I mean the kind of fear that works in BDSM. Maybe fear isn't the right word - maybe the word is (my favorite) vulnerability. Or "anxiety" even. But just as "movie theater fear" (scary movie) or "thrill ride fear" are not "real fear" (getting held up at the ATM fear, or getting stuck in an elevator if you have claustrophobia fear), the body is reacting in similar ways. Does fear turn you on? Does being "in fear" turn you on? Akasha
