RumpusParable -> RE: Is BDSM play sexual ? Yes or no (1/23/2007 12:21:19 PM)

It's a question where the answer is both yes and no, depending on the one answering. For me, personally, no it is not sexual. I get no sexual pleasure from any aspect of my play. Receiving physical pain play causes a "runner's high" for me and/or relaxation of the sort a good massage gives, I don't get turned on or any sexual stimulation from it. The opposite is true: when indulging in my masochism any sexual contact is absolutely repulsive to me. Topping someone else is the same, I can enjoy the control and the creativity involved in alterring their sensations and mindstate, but there is no sexual stimulation from it for me. Again, it is the opposite; I am turned off utterly. For me, BDSM activities are an expression of my personality and a hobby, depending on what aspect is being addressed. It's one of the few parts of my life that doesn't turn me on.
