Elorin -> RE: How do you feel about crying? (4/5/2007 4:28:55 AM)

As a top I have brought two different play partners to tears. One goes to that place repeatedly. We have discussed it, and sometimes she just needs to find a cathartic release, and I happen to be able to bring her to that place. When she starts to cry I always feel very protective, and very proud that she trusts me enough to let go in that way when scening with me. I hold her and comfort her, and if she needs to talk, we talk. Most of the time she knew she had something she needed to let out, and she could not find her tears alone, so I led her there. Once the tears burst, she experiences the emotional release she needed. The other one was a switch, and happened to be watching M play with his sub at the time. The combination of a sadistic top (me) and watching his girl with someone else just brought about a combination where he broke down. He wanted to continue playing, but since we hadn't discussed tears, I brought him off of the bondage device and cuddled and talked with him. We haven't played since but again I felt very nurturing, comforting, and protective. The thought of a bottom who wants to endure ~so much~ pain for me that he/she will reach the point of tears from pain rather than using a safeword is VERY hot. Having a bottom or sub who keeps enduring, knowing that I am feeling sadistic, enduring the pain to please me, out of submission to me, despite tears running down their face? YES PLEASE!! As for anyone who is concerned about being "pushed that far" without prior discussion? There is mutual responsibility there. That is what safewords are for. If you feel you are being pushed farther than you can handle, rather than keep going, cry, and blame the top for pushing too far, use the safeword. Especially since emotions can STRONGLY affect how you experience pain, and the Top might not know how bad it is for you unless you communicate with them. ~E
