Is it the Pain or the Act of Submission??? - 8/1/2006 12:04:12 AM

Status: offline 		A couple of weeks ago I posted a message about my sub and how she was having trouble embracing the fact that she liked pain.  Most of the response centered on talking with her and getting her in contact with other subs.

As we have continued to talk, it is seeming to emerge that what is REALLY turning her on is not the pain...but the act of submission itself.  she doesn't get soaking wet because she enjoys the whipping or hot wax....she doesn't enjoy it....it seems she gets soaking wet because she is being dominated and submissive. 

Are there other subs on this board that that is true for....it's not the pain or the enjoyment of the activity, but the submission and domination that turns you on.  Perhaps you could careless about the bondage, whippings, etc....it's the sheer act of submission that does it for you??

If any of you could shed light on this or share your thoughts I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

The two often overlap, but they are two completely separate things.  Many masochists are not submissives and many submissives are not masochists.

And many are.

For me, I am not a masochist.  I love everything about pain EXCEPT the pain part.  All of my pleasure is gained indirectly.

Status: offline 		It's both for me, and yet if I have to choose one or the other, I will choose to submit.  I enjoy the pain, and while I am a masochist I'm not a pain slut.  But what I can't live without is submission to another, pleasing and serving another.  Even in my failed vanilla marriage I submitted.  The M/s dynamic is part of who I am, part of who I was before I knew it.  The pain is just icing on the cake, and my pleasure!

For me it’s a mixture of both it solely depends on the pain, off the top of my head, you can slap, hit, pinch, squeeze, poke and clamp me all you want and that pain will bring about arousal but I promise you even mention fire play, branding or burning in anyway and I promise any arousal from this is going to be purely from submission.

And yes I do think that submission does play a role even if the pain turns me on. Over all submission turns me on ALL THE TIME and pain is dependent on the situation.

Status: offline 		It is absolutely my submission to his dominance that does it for me.  There are many things he does with/to me that I would never ever subscribe to on my own.  They are not fantasies of mine in and of themselves.  They are not turn-ons for me.  However, doing them out of my submission to him...well that lights my inner fire and ultimately sets me at a wonderful sense of peace.  I am not a fan of physical pain, and not a masochist by any means.  But the deeper I submit to him, the more I seem to be able to endure, and when such acts are taking place, again - it is not the pain or the act that heats me up, but the deep feeling of submisison and the overwhelming feeling of his power over me.

Yes, enjoy more, and happier, at being the submissive and being Dominated than pain. Of course, while I may enjoy pain in some and degree, I do not think I am a masochist, just a sucker for punishment. :p

Status: offline 		As a submissive, I am a Pleaser.  What 'gets me off' is seeing to his/her wishes, allowing him/her to do things to me that s/he enjoys, things s/he enjoys seeing or feeling...  While I am a bit of an edgy player and able to take quite a bit of pain; the only reason I can do so is because of my interest in submitting to him/her.  I don't enjoy the pain.  Perhaps the release that comes with it...but not the pain itself.  It's the submission.

It's the pain. I don't much care whether he's enjoying doing it (though of course enlightened self interest says that it's better if he does, since he's more likely to continue doing what *I like under those circumstances).  I'm certainly not about to agree to something I don't enjoy simply because someone else does unless they're paying me to do so in cold hard cash.
 
I'm very much the maso but not at all submissive in this group.

Status: offline 		I put this question to my sub and he said: "It is a combination of things for me. i enjoy serving you it makes me happy to see you happy. Whatever You want me to do, i'm going to do. i love the control you have over me, no woman has ever made me do things that i didn't want to do before and thats a huge turn on. The way you tell me to do something, its not a bitchy order, but said in such a way it makes me melt inside. The pain make's me so submissive and so hot at the same time. i just go way out into subspace and its the best feeling in the world knowing i can go there safely with you watching over me."

So for some I would say its the combination of both.

Ditto for me. I don't like pain for pain sake. I like the act of being submissive and the fact that accepting it turns the Dominant on. That triggers my arousal response.

Status: offline 		i have to agree with Lashra's sub. Years ago, it was more about the pain, but as i gained experience in B&D my mind moved into dominance & submission. So what was a 65%/35% pain/submission split has flipped, with submission becoming more important. But i've never had one without the other. The comment about doing things never desired before is where i'm headed, in terms of service to my Goddess. Serving Her in ways i have not considered in the past. Quite happy about it all. i hope that i, too, am offered a collar very soon.

Status: offline 		I enjoy pleasing my Dom. If he does something that is physically painful, I accept it. He is a gentle Dom but does take pleasure in certain things that make me grit my teeth. I can take my mind away from the pain when I look in his beautiful eyes; and when he is finished and is caring for me, I know why I exist.
