What are your thoughts on pain? I love getting abused by men. Physically, emotionally and mentally. I love getting covered head to toe in bruises from punches, slaps and kicks. Am I alone?

Pain is an illusion on the mind, manifested from the bodies inability to do.

Wow. That was a bit less philosophical in my head. I ran 80 miles a week in highschool. You learn to either ignore pain or kinda like it. I kinda like it to a degree. Not so much as to get turned on by it, but I do laugh/giggle when I get hurt.

My ex husband would beat me because I told him it was my fetish. The police were notified and arrested him. Rather than believing that I asked for it they assumed I was covering for him because I was frightened of him.

what the fuck?

Is there an issue?

Not really. Just unexpectedly random

depends on the nature,

a little dull pain can be okay, or maybe some mild pinching or slapping,

but sharp pain, like cuts, stabs, burns, scrapes
or internal pain like cramps or headaches
I definitely don't like

That said, I love spicy food


Heh, that story went up to 11 real fast, is all :P

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

To conquer fear, you must become fear

10 out of fucking 10.

Okay, so maybe I don't take it to the extent you do Rangiku -- I don't like being beaten up. But for me, sex isn't good sex unless there's some pain involved.

Maybe that's why I like well-endowed guys. The pain of a deep penetration mixes perfectly with the pleasure. Guys with smaller cocks have made up for them with things like chocking, hair-pulling, spanking and general manhandling, but usually a bigger guy is just better :/

Oh, and guys who're physically imposing/threatening? UNF <3

Personally I like skin to skin contact if it's pain. Spanking, loves bites etc all float my boat fine, but when accesories and tools like a riding crop for example is added, I can only handle so much of it. I do enjoy it though, it's the same whenever I exercise or go to the gym, I manage to just push myself further because any feel at the time from being exhausted.

If it's spanking and rough handling but anything else isn't given a Myraka Seal of Approval. I think people take it too far and become borderline sociopaths because they believe inflicting harm on others is a good thing *shrugs*. I guess I have a bleak outlook on it.

If I had any experiences to the contrary maybe I'd feel differently. Here alone, people here beg for pain, degradation and humiliation in PMs and it comes off as really creepy. If people were regular human beings about it like.. "well i do like to be treated like a slave and talked down to but if that isnt your thing we can find a compromise" then I could have a little more respect for them. Instead, it's the begging and pathetic way it's put forward like they have no dignity and no self-worth of any kind. Honestly, I'm looking for a fun loving time not to fix someones' unhinging psyche.

I agree Myraka. It's just not safe at all to throw yourself into situations like this an expect the same "pleasurable" outcome every time.

I seriously dislike pain. All kinds of it.

Pain is also French for "bread".
In that regard, I do love "pain". <3
