Eek.
"Really? You don't have to! Why??"
He shot me his most stern and unapologetic smile, "Yes, I do. Because you need it."
I used to think that I was a masochist. I'm not.
I hate pain, and for all intents and purposes, I am a terrible wuss when it comes to physical suffering.
I don't crave spanking, and all I have to read is, "He gave me 25 delicious strokes of the cane" and you've lost me. Seriously. Ten and I
That said, there is something magical about pain.
Some people will tell you that the magic is all about those sneaky little endorphins. Others will say that pain brings transcendence of even such basic functioning. I say, why can't it be both?
I've been hearing that a lot lately..."because you need it."
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, let it be both!
Misty,
Delete"Because I can" also seems to feature prominently around here...
Love the post it.
ReplyDeleteSunnygirl,
Deletegood one, right?
It probably is both. The pain is what makes it all work I guess. What do I know? I know that there are times when a spanking is all that will help or is needed.
ReplyDeleteBlondie,
DeleteI do think that pain has its place. Now, where exactly that place is, I'm not always sure!
A great post....both is the best.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Thank you, abby.
DeleteIm greedy i want both.
ReplyDeletei have to ask lil, when you say your not a masochist because you dont like pain, and i get that, but does it turn you on, arouse you at the time, or afterwards?
Because there are some elements of s/m i really dont enjoy, but yet it turns me on, yeah the bitch down there betrays me lol, and to me, as i understand it is what makes the masochist....pain being a turn on...liking it is a bonus!

Roz,
Deletethank you!
It is so maddeningly complex - pain, needs, wants, physiology, the mind games....
ReplyDeletegg,
DeleteOh yes...
masochism is funny old thing. Pain can arouse me. I also crave it. But it's complex... Sometimes the same type and level of pain i can take easily, sometimes it's all pleasure, sometimes it hurts but I revel in taking it, sometimes it's almost unbearable and I just hate it.
ReplyDeleteThrough in a bit of what I'm coming to realise is emotional masochism into the mix, and it becomes even more complicated, because the unexpected struggle - oh my. And then I suddenly start craving that too...
mc kitten,
Deleteit is a strange beast, to be sure.
I'm with Blondie'. I don't know how or why it works, but sometimes a beating is all you need. Then life doesn't look so daunting.m
ReplyDeleteHope it helped you!
Sarah,
DeleteI wish...Got sick again. Apparently there's not a whole lot of attraction to beating a snotting coughing asthmatic.
