I'm a masochist. I don't consider myself a heavy masochist, but I am a masochist. I love the feelings, the things we do. I think if I had to just endure, I wouldn't be interested at all, and neither would he. However, what everyone always thinks of when they hear the word masochist are those people who like to be hit. What I especially love are the things he does to my head. I like being made uncomfortable, confused, etc. I like having to dig up through it and realize that all those things he's doing are because he likes to watch the play of emotions across my face. I like knowing that I CAN dig up through them and come out better than I was. In our relationship, we love and deeply, but I don't get all those claims of his feelings. No real words of tenderness or anything like that. I like that I have to read his actions, look for the subtleties, and have unmitigated faith in him rather than wait for all those niceties to come rolling off his tongue. I KNOW that when I want them, they sure are not coming my way, and often, that hurts - a lot. Yet, when I NEED them, when I think he surely doesn't care, and when he's not aware that I'm watching, I see his face soften and I know. And that's when I realize that he's telling me exactly how he feels in his own way, and that's perfect for me - even when it hurts. There's more to sadism and masochism than being hit, poked and beaten. I never realized it before, but while it all plays real close to the "just fuck it, I'm gone" line, we've never crossed it yet. And in this regard, I am a VERY heavy masochist. juliet
