where do you think those tendencies arise from? do you prefer to that the infliction come from someone that enjoys inflicting pain, or rather enjoys the pleasure that you recieve from it? I don't know where the tendencies arise from. They've been there since I was a kid, and I used to put myself through endurance tests. I remember sitting in the woods, in a swampy area and mosquitos starting to bite me. I just sat there very still, without moving a muscle as they landed all over me and bit me. By the time I got bored, I had hundreds of mosquito bites. I'm surprised I didn't get malaria. The event that percipitated this excercise in 10 year old lunacy was a confrontation with my dad. He was about to beat me with his belt, and I started fighting back, and ran out of the house into the woods. When I went home, our relationship totally changed. He never used his belt again but, of course, I lost the luxury of being a child. I learned in that exchange to choose my battles carefully because sometimes, if ya start fighting, ya win. And that kind of sucks. I also ran with guys when i was a kid. Not only was I the only girl, I was the youngest. (I tagged after my brother) Whenever a challenge was put to me, I had to step up to the plate. The others could be cry babies. But not me. Fortunately, they directed most their meanness towards each other and left me out of it so long as I kept quiet and stayed in the background. This is probably more relevant to my submissive tendencies, rather than my masochism. I need to know the other person is enjoying pain play for me to be comfortable with it. It feels selfish otherwise. I can only go so far with an freewheeling sadist, but if the other person is getting pleasure from my pain, I tend to get pleasure too. If they get pleasure from my pleasure, I can go in that direction. quote:
now i know that the sadism and masso isnt exclusive to orientation, but for the submissive masso. do you feel that it relates to your submissive in any way, or is it more of a take for the pleasure's sake? It depends on the specific dynamic. If I'm submitting to someone (as opposed to bottoming) I take as much as I possibly can regardless of how I'm feeling about it. I can never take as much as I want to, though 'cus I'm a bit of a wuss.
