ORIGINAL: curiousmisfit Question for all Sadist Masters.... would you be afraid to team up with a Masochist....I just read where Littlewonder said she was NOT a masochist.... I have even more respect for her. I am wondering... Sadists love to cause pain....and Masochists love to receive pain...so, if you are inflicting pain on a masochist... does the sadist still get the same fulfillment? Also, is there a worry that you would go to far...because you would get wrapped up in the moment and so would the Maso? So, do you as a Sadist stay away from Masochists, or does it not matter in the scheme of things? I'm not afraid to team up with a pure masochist but I avoid them. I think the word that best describes it is... bored. I'm an emotional sadist, it's the feelings of the one suffering that I am after and if they aren't suffering, I get frustrated, bored, and in some cases, when they're off in their own little fantasy land enjoying their plight, I feel left out. My blend of sadism wants them to suffer because of me. It gains gratification knowing it's something I in particular am doing (as opposed to just anyone who happens to be in my shoes at that moment), or that it isn't something you enjoy but something you endure for my sake. I think personally how it works between a sadist and a masochist is really down to the individuals. I have no doubt that there are other sadists for whom the other person's feelings, be it enjoyment or not, do not matter one whit. I have anger issues. A violent temper, limited patience. I have lost control/awareness of surroundings in fits of rage and Dom-space. There has also been times where I have no recollection of my actions when I hit that depth. But BDSM and D/s is not an excuse for bad behaviour and I've been working on these things a long long time. I think on the other extreme of being bored by masochists is not wanting to get involved with one who would, for their own enjoyment, push me into that space and undo all the work I do everyday to stay in control of my temper/sadism; and in response to your question, yes, I worry about it constantly. So I make the conscious decision not to put myself in "risky" situations and environments. I make rules and protocols to help me and my submissives avoid it. And when I fail, I accept the consequences and work harder at there not being a next time. Very unglamorous lol quote:
how are you reassured that he will stop when you say the safeword... i guess, what I am saying is... anyone can pretend to be honest and a good master...or Dom.. just like a Vanilla Relationship.... were you at all scared that he/she wouldn't stop on request? Trust. There is no foolproof way of growing trust in specific regard to safewording and going too far, I guess. But just like in a vanilla relationship, its down to the sub to use his/her big head and eyes and ears before putting themselves in a vulnerable position for the Dom in question. Don't believe a word they say, trust in your instincts instead and observe the way they're telling it and their practical action. Don't go home with the one that says s/he respects everyone then turns around and treats the waiter like his/her own scummy slave. Don't trust the one who says s/he respects boundaries and then proceeds to push at yours. The guy who's claiming all sorts of experience in BDSM and owning slaves? Take his word with a grain of salt, especially if it sounds like he is bragging. Drop anyone unwilling to engage you on the level you want. Be willing and able to wait and find the best fit. Not that there's anything wrong with "mr/ms Right Now", as long as you keep focused and not let them abuse and exploit you just because you're desperate to "belong".
