Airlia -> Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 3:59:39 AM)

I truly do enjoy the opinions, questions and advice I receive from others. Do feel free to leave a message if it pleases you.

I've currently been speaking with someone for the course of seven months now. We've good chemistry and he is also in the bdsm community. However, due to a rough patch in his past there are a selection of behaviors he disapproves of entirely.

A selective fantasy that both tortures and excites me is the usage of multiple people being used in a relationship. To elaborate on this, and not make it entirely sound like the term 'cheating', I enjoy hurting my partner emotionally. I like to get them to the point of exasperated and desperate need for me. I feel that, through men, when getting them jealous they seem to create more of a havoc at demonstrating their emotions. I felt as though seeing their pain while watching me flirt with another male, made them upset and strive more to have me. (As this occurred in the past). There is a thrill in watching a man angry when generally they are a sweetheart. Being as good as they can be to you. I feel that, though this may be wrong, I enjoy it. But my partner thinks differently.

He calls this cheating. Something he won't tolerate.

If he were to do the same to me, I feel I would be tortured but fully enjoy it. It would make me furious to see him flirting, fondling, kissing, ect.. another girl in front of me, but he also states he would not do that because this is a monogamous and exclusive bond. In bdsm, using multiple players for their 'game' is viewed as how?

Yeaow - sounds like with this man, doing what you are talking about would be a great way to be back on the dating market.

and I could be wrong, but I don't think you are going to find too many men who enjoy being humiliated/played with like that.





Airlia -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 4:19:42 AM)

I agree with that perspective. In a sense the relationship we've delved into has many vanilla traits that aren't always to my liking and I understand that there are selective fantasies I will not be able to explore with him, such as this one, because it seems to be his own sort of 'hard limit'. But this is just how my mindwork is programmed. I would like to see him flirt with other women and vice versa so I could have my feelings more ardent. I get a pleasure in feeling broken to some degree.




evesgrden -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 4:45:03 AM)

Sounds like you're incompatible and what you're looking for is a cuckold.




Airlia -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 4:49:54 AM)

I don't believe it is necessary to act on all thoughts, this being one of them.
There is a mutuality to it, from my perspective.




SimplyMichael -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 5:11:56 AM)

First off, that is a seriuosly fucked up relationship there.

Doing something someone hates but who loves to hate what is done to them is cool

Doing something someone hates to manipulate them to do something you want is...oh wait, I already said it.

What you need is therapy to deal with your insecurities, not a partner you use as a vodoo doll.




Airlia -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 5:14:42 AM)

The majority of bdsm happens to literally be rather.. 'fucked' up.

My insecurities don't round about something I find arousing. To each their own.
Then again, we are talking about sadism and a psychological way. I'm sure many people can argue to whether it is 'morally correct'.

I didn't write that for you, its a warning to others that some ways of doing kink tend to suck, be short term, and rarely produce good outcomes for the relationship.

Actually, the whole reason you say you do it has everything to do with your insecurities, and little to do with "psychological sadism." Trying to get someone to make you feel you are easily replaceable in the relationship isn't good for the relationship on the whole, regardless if you act on the flirting or not.

"Hurting someone emotionally" isn't psychological sadism or even a mindfuck. And yes, fondling and kissing someone else when you are in a monogamous relationship is cheating. You are also using the other men in a way they didn't consent to.

Doing something you know is wrong but do anyway because you enjoy it is immature.

Regardless, if you found someone who enjoyed it as well, then to each his own. Using other for your "game" as you put it is not viewed positively when the people involved haven't consented to being used in such a way.




Moonlightmaddnes -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 6:53:09 AM)

Well if he is a smart man he will walk away. That is just cruel.




Airlia -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 7:29:37 AM)

As I said, to each their own. Bdsm's biggest controversy is the fact that most actions and thoughts seen to the public eye is viewed as 'wrong'. You could like a different position of sex and to someone else it may be wrong and to you it is just fine. "If you have a good conscience you can do no wrong (sin)". My taste may not be the same for you. It's arousing. It's a "fantasy". It isn't something I'm doing or currently doing. I'm certain most your personal thoughts may even be viewed as grotesque or disagreeable to your other half. You probably don't know it or don't openly admit to it. But frankly, if we go back to 'interests' on this site we are easily able to recognize different styles and likings in this area of bdsm. You may not agree with all, but they are there.

As to the male who says he should walk away and not submit. You could be right. Anyone could walk away. But that's where communication, trust and mutuality fail. Why be in a bdsm relationship based on commitment if you're going to walk away. That is the easy way out.

It's only if that message agrees with you.

Gotcha!




SatinWhip -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 7:52:14 AM)

The only way I see that your scenario would work is if your partner had no knowledge of your fantasy. If you let him in on the details it sorta defeats the impact and purpose of it If he has no prior knowledge of your particular kink then pursuing it could likely at least torpedo the relationship if not also getting someone injured in the process. Multiple players are appropriate but only when everyone is on board with the idea. Even the party being humiliated in a cuckold is usually into that sort of thing. If your partner were into being driven to rage through jealousy that would sorta dampen the appeal for you, wouldn't it?





chatterbox24 -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 8:17:35 AM)

I used to do this. Not the public show of affection to make someone jealous, but letting them know they aren't the only one interested, and keeping them feeling less then adequate. I wanted a rise in the man, always needing that rush of emotion from them, whether good or bad, because my insecurity needed fed, by the need to feel important. I needed an intense response, to prove their feelings or interest. A continuous thing, that did no good at all, but to feed my own selfish insecurity, and thus making them have horrible feelings, and making them feel insecure too. This is not a healthy way to treat someone, especially one you claim to care about. It is where one puts self above another, without any regard of the turmoil you put them through, and one they don't deserve. It is basically a game, and someone always loses at games. I didn't do it as BDSM, I didn't even have knowledge of it at the time. IT was just a chaotic mind game I played. I got a kick out of it, and found it arousing too, but the other party didn't, and they never had much trust in me. I wonder why? lol.




OsideGirl -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 8:20:09 AM)

A few thoughts:

1) Clearly the man you are with is not someone with whom you will be able to engage in this fantasy with. It would violate his limits.

2) If you're constantly tearing someone down, you're going to do permanent damage to their psyche.

3) Very few relationships of this type survive.

Some people want a purely monogamous relationship.
And so to them, your scenario on either side would be "cheating".
It is not cheating from your perspective, which is okay.
What is not "okay" is that you refuse to accept anyone else's point of view that is not in line for your need to inflict emotional masochism as valid.

You and your partner are incompatible.

Also, your desire to actually incite anger, is unwise.
What happens when someone who has a lapse in self-control is the party you have done that to.
Are you prepared to be on the receiving end of physical violence... or perhaps the other guy/s?

Would that be enough proof of your desirability and their emotional attachment to you?

It depends on the level of consent for all the players involved.
You don't really seem to care about consent.

And please, stop trying to justify and excuse your kink by bringing in the kinks of others.

Your kink is your kink.
If you could find a way to engage in it with all the parties consenting (including the men you choose to flirt with) then yay!! for you.
But I don't think you want a cuckold, and I don't think you want to be a cuck-queen.

You could probably find a masochistic man who wants that kind of pain from being a cuckold, but someone else having the need for that does not seem to be something you are interested in.

Commitment is basically null and void once one party introduces an element that is not mutually agreed to.
If someone is monogamous, then depending on how they personally define monogamy, your scenario might never be anything they would agree to.

However, since you say it is just a fantasy and nothing you are engaging in: have at it.
Just leave those who don't want to play along, out of it.




SeekingTrinity -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 8:52:36 AM)

~FRing it~

Well, I don't use people and I don't play "games" myself

It doesn't sound like you two are compatible at all based on what you have written. If it were me and I was dating you, you intentionally going around trying to piss me off all the time wouldn't create a need to be with you. It would create a need to get the fuck away from you because it's just not worth it to be involved in a relationship that sucks more out of me than gives back. And what about the others you are using to piss off the person you are with? How is this fair to them? I'd dare say this behavior is more about what is broken inside of you. Very few people like being emotionally manipulated. Your "games" may well backfire on you. So proceed with caution. Everyone has a breaking point. Everyone.

This isn't about judging kink. Someone above mentioned cuckolds, who sound like they would be more of a close match for this sort of behavior. If that's your thing, then you should have a willing partner to participate in it. But not everyone is cut out to want to be part of the game you say you like playing. And it's not fair of you to do that to someone who doesn't want to be a part of that...or have this be a painful reminder of a painful past.

By me? The token vanilla guy here? I view it as "using multiple players for their game". I'm like that.

That, however, isn't what I think you are doing. I think you are knowingly "creating havoc" to use your own words. You want to foster some sort of very negative addiction to you. You want to provoke and annoy. You want to ignore your ... I hesitate to say "partner" ... the person you are currently manipulating.

All of that makes me think "run fast, run far". I'd perceive you as an absolute threat so you'd get fight/flee from me. All of that drama may be what you are looking for. I think you owe it to anyone you're getting involved with to spell that out. The fact that you see the majority of BDSM as "fucked up" speaks volumes. I do not. I've found some pretty sane and level-headed people in BDSM. The "fucked up" ones get weeded out of my social circle promptly.

You are correct. "To each their own". Just be brutally honest with anyone new so that they may make an informed choice.




theshytype -> RE: Emotional and Mental Sadism. Is it wrong to think this way? (6/11/2013 1:16:30 PM)

Doing this to someone is unfathomable to me. Then again, it's always my goal to make the other person in my relationship happy. I'm strange like that. I have fantasies that turn me on but I know he is not interested, so they stay inside my mind. I would not force them on him because, again, I want him to be happy. There is no reason for him to stay if he's not - regardless of chemistry.

Is it cheating? I believe it is if the relationship is supposed to be monogamous and if considered cheating by either or both involved.

These people that you'd be flirting with, touching or kissing - do they know what you've involved them in?
