Sometimes when I am in a particularly bad mood, grouchy, pms'ing or whatever, I actually catch myself wishing I could get a spanking or flogging. I guess, somewhere in my mind, I know I'm just feeling bratty, and need the discipline to snap out of it.

I don't know if it's possible, but I do know the feeling, lol.

Is there a 12-step program for that? Flogging Anonymous?

Endorphins can be 'addictive' like many other chemicals. The thing to note is that there is a difference between chemical dependency and addiction. Addiction tends to be drug or chemical seeking behavior for the purpose of modifying mood.

If you are accustomed to regular increases in your endorphin production and then suddenly no longer have that chemical reaction happening in your life then it is quite possible you will suffer some form of 'withdrawal' even if it's psychological in nature.

There is good news, however. Endorphins are manufactured in the body and there are MANY ways to produce endorphins other than just being flogged or played with. Some people can achieve a similar state through meditation, still others experience it from running or other extreme work outs, someone else may experience it from getting a good massage. Find out what stimulates endorphin production for you other than those things that require someone else 'do' you.

Alternately, if you decide you don't wish to know yourself that well or just don't care about doing the work to find out, you could see a professional dom/me. You wouldn't be the first to do it and in spite of what many with little to no experience would tell you there is no shame in it.

You get to decide what gets you what you want and need. Ain't that great?!?

i personally t hink it is possible to have "withdraws", especially if you are use to receiving floggings on a regular basis. i have been without a Domme since June of 2004 and crave it. i can feel becoming "disconnected" to a point where i need a good heavy scene. Within the last 3 months, i have only scened once. i do agree with the suggestion of finding other alternatives that can possibly make those endorphines rush. :)

Ofcorse there's flogger withdrawl. In fact I get with drawl time to time useing a flogger on someone. So yes the withdrawl exsist. If it didn't exist, I don't think Pro Doms could be charging $200, $300, and more for whipping sessions. So weither you have to whip yourself, find a dom, or higher a sadist, you'll find a way to end your withdrawl.

Your "fix" is as close by as the nearest decent leather belt. The true secret to being a switch is to remember to catch yourself on the backswing...

For me there is definitely flogger withdrawal and even while being flogged still wanting more. I also agree there are certain days you need it more than others.

You know you are addicted when you are driving down the interstate and you are thinking about putting a sign in the window. “You don’t have to love me; just spank me”

Actually, having just given myself a nice shoulder warming, I can honestly say I'm feeling much better now. Not as good as the full experience, but a fix is a fix.
