Do you like doing heavy SM as a top? If so, you thank your lucky stars and be nice, by which I mean beat the crap out of, your slave and bottom. As you are now aware, while bottoms often learn to endure more pain as they become more experienced, not all bottoms start in the same place. This is not a problem, unless, of course, your desired levels of SM intensity differ. Does it bother you that the bottom likes pain--that is, do you enjoy reactions of suffering, not pleasure, in an SM scene? If so, you need to tell this bottom as much. He or she will likely learn that if he or she wants to encourage you to do more SM, he or she will express suffering more and pleasure less. If suffering is key, you might also try different types of pain. Most masochists like certain things more than others, and some dislike some sensations entirely. There are different sensations within impact play; for example, a cane and a flogger do different things, and there are variations within categories of toys as well. This means that a cane with a 1/4" diameter will feel different from a cane with a 1" diameter, and a cane made of rattan will feel different from one made of a synthetic material. You might try some new impact implements. If you have confined your SM exclusively to impact play, do some electricity stuff. An "electric flyswatter" is fairly inexpensive. You might try needles, too. There are a number of other non-impact things to do--paper cuts and abrasions come to mind--many masochists who find beating pleasurable don't like non-impact things. Stick a pipe cleaner up his or her nose and explore. Clamp the tops of the ears and tie them together above the head to create tension. Poke at the cuticles of finger and toe nails. Monica
