ORIGINAL: ThatDizzyChick I had a similar sort of internal conflict coming to terms with being a masochist, I tried to tell myself that I did not actually enjoy the pain, but rather that I enjoyed enduring it for his pleasure. And that also led me to thinking that this somehow made me better and nobler than the "baser" masochists who sought out the pain for their own pleasure. I had a similar sort of process, though I ended up a little different than you did. I finally realized that I'm both a masochist, and an 'endurance bottom', in the sense that there are certain types of pain that I enjoy for the sake of the pain itself (heavy thud for instance) and there's a certain kind of pain that I don't enjoy for its own sake at all, but enjoy suffering for the sake of pleasing somebody else. I play with some pretty hardcore sadists (think Kana, though I haven't played with him yet) and one of the complaints some of them have is that play with masochists sometimes remains shallow to them, because there's no actual suffering involved. I enjoy being the 'sacrificial lamb' for them, and to suffer in ways I really don't enjoy for its own sake, because it makes them happy. I ended up doing a scene like that this weekend... needles being shoved under my fingernails, knife tips on pressure points deep enough to draw blood (including on the face), knife tips being rolled onto nerves and tendons to create that 'snapping' sensation you get when you bump your elbow into something the wrong way. It was awful, and awesome all at the same time. It's the primary reason I enjoy consensual non-consent play without safewords, because I can't make it through a scene like that without attempting to safeword out several times... and so the only way I can do it is by prenegotiating that he'll ignore me when I do.
