i was wondering....

[LisaFunOne1]

im sure someone else has already covered this, but i was wondering, and couldnt find a poll about this yet....

 

[SierraMoon]

i enjoy the S/M part of BDSM the most, i think... i push myself to take more than i should, probably.

The pain turns into a wonderful searing sensation for me, one that can lead me to orgasm fairly fast.

So, my vote was yes

 

[catalina_francisco]

Mmmmm...had to answer yes as we are finding if I go without it for more than a day or two I slowly become more and more unbearable to live with sinking deeper and deeper into depression....more I get the more I want....and Master is so happy to help out.

I too answered yes. I love the fine line between pleasure and pain, that warm, almost mind numbing feeling that comes as my body is immersed in pain/pleasure, nerve endings coming more alive with every stroke reigning down upon me.

I never considered myself a masosub, pain-slut, what-have-you; and probably still don't. But, i never had truly put my trust in anyone before either. I always skittered away from pain, like a spider from water. I never trusted anyone enough to allow it, and had a nice long laundry list of limits in hand. The difference today is that i'm willing to push the envelope and explore it. I keep growing and amazing myself and it makes me feel that much stronger. The list? Well, i just pared it down to the hard limits and put my trust in Him.

This is very accurate for me too! Alone, and untrusting, I'd not ask or need pain to feel complete. But once I trusted, the 'laundry list of limits' became a very short list .. with very few items remaining--painwise.

Trust, is the operative element. If real trust exists, limits, pain and all the areas inbetween become almost meaningless because the biggest area to overcome in life, is merely the *fear* of being hurt.. Once trust has been established that fear is reduced and then 'anything' becomes possible....

I'm starting to like pain... as in, day dreaming about it while driving.. him slapping me, red marks on my arm, my neck... slapping my sunburned back, pinching my nipples, biting me HARD...

Oh, dear... damn him to hell! *grin*

It is about trust, I agree... But there isn't complete trust of him, yet, and that's part of what I'm enjoying... but I also can give as good as I get, so it's not scary.

Mmmm... tomorrow's Friday. Yay.

 

[Desdemona]

Yep, I'm a pain slut. There's nothing like it.

 

[bunny bondage]

*blush* i said yes

 

[Netzach]

No category for me.

Yes and my sub/slave/so is.

augh... i knew i forgot something...... sorry bout that

ah, and it has been brought to my attention that its apparently (?) rude for me not to post my preference... i didnt think anyone cared......
but yes, im pretty sure i am

edited to add:
PS - bunnybondage - ill bet youre really adorable when youre blushing

 

[redelicious]

Had to go with no.

I do like some pain but I don't embrace it enough to call myself a painslut. I am able to withstand more pain when I am in a trusting relationship but unfortunately there are still limits as to how far I can go before play turns into punishment for me.

 

[FungiUg]

Not a pain slut. Not really into pain sluts in a big way either. (Biting, spanking, clamps, and so on are okay. Wouldn't whip or cane someone though, let alone needle play!)

I'd definately into cum/orgasm sluts.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

joyous, unbounded YES!!! I am more masochistic than submissive...alot more. Luckily for me, i may have found the purrfect sadist for the lil pain slut in me!! Pain is a turn on in and of itself for me...and it's not just flogging or caning that gets me going but clamping, weights, knife play and the like. I realize that for most people all that seems a bit extreme but I know what i need to control the rage I have inside and nothing makes me feel better, quicker than being properly put in my space...where all i feel is the red haze of agony on every inch of my poor lil body...yummmm....

I said no, because the term 'pain slut' strikes a negative chord within me.

For myself, I worry more about what an emphasis on extreme pain would do to me mentally. I'm concerned that I would run, not walk away from a relationship if I thought that administering pain was the only thing that made my partner happy.

Some pain is fine - but a relationship based on pain is not for me.

With due respect to those that do not require love in their BDSM relationship, I do need love. It's something to be treasured.

Pain does not equate to love, for me.

oh.... i meant more like, enjoying pain..... really really enjoying pain.... i problably should have opened with a question regarding what various people define as a "pain slut"
i mostly meant, in your opinion, are you or arent you....

For myself, the perception of pain is related to the mood, or the general atmosphere at any given time. Sure, there are times when more pain is fun... and very enjoyable. I was only expressing my personal discomfort with a relationship based on pain. That's not for me. I need more.

I think that individual views of what constitutes a 'pain slut' will vary greatly.

I voted no. I'm not a 'pain slut', per se. I do not thrive on pain, but on the mental aspects and the love.

 

[A Desert Rose]

Yes, I like most pain in slowly increasing amounts.

 

[zanna]

answer was yes.

 

[Bachlum Chaam]

No I am not and do not enjoy inflicting pain either for my own gratification

Pain slut to me means a need and enjoyment of extreme pain as in crops, canes, whips including bullwhip for me, and just about anything else in between. For us it is a given...he needs to give as much as I need to receive, but if either of us was not enjoying it, nor would the other.

The need for, and importance of pain in our relationship does not mean our relationship is not one based on a deep love and commitment. Without that there is no relationship. The two elements do not necessarily have to be mutually exclusive...for us they go hand in hand and are also symbolic of our trust in each other.

makes sense.

 

[dragonlace]

well Master says i am ...guess that means i am. For me pain is relative....its not usually painful its pleasurable but for some what i find pleasurable would probably be painful so guess thats a big yeppers

 

[Etoile]

I chose "no" because I'm not in it for the pain. My top likes seeing me suffering, and that's what I want - I want to please my top, so I bear the pain. At times I beg to be whipped, but even that's only for the personal connection I feel with the person wielding the whip. The pain itself isn't what does it for me. I do love (and I think I've mentioned this before) being spanked with a bare hand, because I know the hand feels it as much as my ass does.

I enjoy giving pain to a point, I love tears but definitely stop before blood appears. Plus I find it annoying when pain from one play session rolls over into the next day. Sometimes I just want to chill and I can't if it hurts her to sit down.
