after watching BSB's link and after reading the What do you like the most about BDSM and a few mentioning needle play and of those that didnt im sure i can think of one or two in there that do - i have to ask -
why? [&:]
id love to hear what happens to the Dominant and the submissive in terms of pleasure with this play.
thank you x
edited to add: go as graphic as you like - (if you want)
On a purely humorous level (tongue in cheek here), needle play is my personal answer to "penis envy" -- not being a fan of dildos, dongs, etc., I certainly get a heck of a thrill out of inserting steel beneath someone's skin.
Even before it became a fetish issue for me, I thoroughly enjoyed my paramedic/phlebotomist days and starting IVs and drawing blood, and doing suturing... I know... strange... but I -loved- the blood-tang in the air (often mixed with that hint of fear pheromone). As a bit of an adrenaline junkie in my youth, I found no shortage of dangerous activities from mountain-climbing to dirt-bike jumping that were bound to result in injuries that I could volunteer to be the "medic on site" for... managing injuries by inserting needles under the flesh and, occasionally, shoving bones back under the skin... at least until having offspring with a soldier meant too great a sacrifice to stay in jobs requiring overnight shifts and taking flaky entire-day jaunts with rock-hoppers and bike-jumpers, and I abandoned emergency medicine for midwifery (where I could bring my own babes along when I went to deliver a baby). Alas, as a midwife I didn't get to stick needles (labs were drawn at the covering OB's offices or regionally accredited labs) and only rarely had to do any suturing aside from tying off an umbilical cord.
Imagine my profound joy when I discovered that -some people- were poking needles in people, separating layers of skin with scalpels, and decorating individuals with sutures FOR FUN! I was hooked (occasionally literally!!!). I started out learning body piercing, and then applied my earlier skills to the decorative placement of needles on human flesh.
What do I get out of it? Hmm.. interesting question. Clearly, there's a power dynamic involved. There sort of -has- to be for me... in this case, most of the time I am in charge of tools that... if you'll pardon the pun... really get "under your skin"... and then, on a completely esoteric level, there is the amazing energy, the scent of pain, ecstasy, and fear mixed with steel and blood that, at least to my nose, just fills up an area where piercings, cuttings, and brandings are being done. (Branding is a whole 'nother beast -- not an area of expertise for me, but definitely one I hope to eventually have more time with).
Ok, so this ended up a whole lot more 'artsy-fartsy' than I'd originally intended. The fact is, I love blood -- I love blood symbolically, as a representation of flowing life, and I love blood physically, in the way that it moves, looks, and smells. I like the feel of a needle slipping under the skin...
As an aside, I like both sides of this particular fetish, which tells me that it really is about something artistic for me, and that juxtaposition of the hard nature of steel and the soft resiliency of flesh -- the feel of it, the look of it, and the smell and taste that permeates the air when everyone involved is -really- into the scene. Decorative piercing and tattooing are actually one of the few times that I can actually -yield- to someone else's control over doing painful things to my body and LIKE it.
Don't know if this made a damned bit of sense -- have you ever had one of those times when you're trying to explain something, and it's like a -flashback- and all you can do is try to describe what you're sensing while it plays out again under your hands?... well... ok... so now you know...
