Personally, I have a rather strong sadistic streak, but it's more more geared towards hurting a person's mind than their body [though I do enjoy both]. I know, kicking a person upstairs in the cranium is viewed more as humiliation; that's not always the case, though. I do not see a paradox in inflicting pain upon a person who is subsequently aroused by the act. Sadism can mean enjoyment of the act as well as the result, so it follows that committing the act of inflicting pain can be satisfactory. More to the point, if I make a girl bleed, and she cries, then she has demonstrated that she felt the pain I wanted to inflict...if it also happens to make her wet, so be it. Then there's the old joke, which I'll paraphrase here: a Dom tells his sub that they will be beaten in an hour. The sub, aroused by pain, can hardly contain themselves. When the hour is upon them, the Dom shrugs and says, "Changed my mind. Rub my feet.". I'd say doing that on purpose and seeing the sub's hopes vanish is a prime example of sadism...and conveniently it's an example of how sadism can be mental, not just physical... One last comment, for LA. Careful falling into those absolutes, there's no such thing, after all. 'Fluffy' is a cute buzzword, like any other label, and it accomplishes just about as much as any other label, n'est pas?
