I've known painsluts, and shame sluts, and just plain "sick wierdos" ;) and I've been trying for a long time to define my niche as a masochist. Best description I've come up with is the "Martyr-Maso". I absolutely adore suffering, BUT- it must be for someone else's pleasure or amusement, AND- it generally spoils it for me to admit to myself that I'm having a good time. Is that odd? Conversely, if the top that's causing my suffering/debasement uses my own enjoyment against me, by forcing me to say it, it creates a debasement all unto itself, and becomes a wild turn on.

By that same definition, I love watching the suffering/debasement/subjegation of other subs too- but only when they're apparently not having fun.

Its a good question Techno.

Before meeting my Master I was not a painslut/Masochist/whatever at all. I enjoyed humiliation and bondage and that was pretty much it. I had so many hard limits it took three days to list them :)

Now I enjoy suffering for his pleasure and when he torments and taunts me with words at the same time, it fuels my will to endure the it increasing the final orgasm tenfold.

I hate and loathe the cane/whip/crop but I love to see the marks it has left, knowing I was able to take that level of pain.

There are painful aspects I enjoy skin abrasion, nipple & breast torment being some examples.

I need to hear what He plans to do, how and when. This marked the beginning of our relationship when we spoke on the 'phone and stated how He was going to greet me.
By the time we finally met I was ready to explode :D

I continue need bondage, humiliation & debasement in order for me to enjoy it, so i guess that makes me a shame slut first and foremost.

I think this may be changing, into needing, but continuing to dislike, pain.
I have come to this conclusion because prior to meeting Him I used toys on myself several times a day and they worked wonderfully well :)
The more pain I take with Him, the less effective toys are when He is not there.

I cringe if I have to see other subs suffering and cannot watch, feeling it both cruel and terrible.

To sum up I am perhaps a shame slut with the potential of a painslut who dislikes cruelty.

God maybe I do need therapy ~ wheres that troll bytor 2112 when you need him:rolleyes: lol
 
Therapy Thread?

I've always felt that analyzing the nature of my submission was pretty solid therapy for all the various dark corners, though I still have that issue about not wanting to admit to wanting it. I was a bit of a tramp in high school, (seeking approval, in that foolish teenaged way we sometimes do,) and I guess now I like to RP being the innocent victim of things that some part of my brain still considers to be dirty or bad or base. Oddly, I don't have a conscious problem with dirtiness, badness, or baseness- the baser the better! I like my sex about as dirty as it gets. (That's a pretty wierd paradox too, I guess.) But sort of a retroactive "It's okay because it's not your fault" thing.

In recent years though, it's been evolving into a sort of Zen meditation thing, too- Humility of the deepest sort, the total yielding of the flesh & mind to another's will, for the simple purpose of their pleasure. I am getting pretty proud of my recent levels of humility. :D

Another fairly new development, or at least realization, is that opperant conditioning thing I've mentioned elsewhere- I crave pain & deep debasement because I associate it with his pleasure. I think that's been kinda working against me lately though, as he seems to be shying away from going much deeper. not sure if it's because he's as deep as he wants to get, or if it's because he fears I'll judge him poorly for the dark corners of his brain, or maybe he fears he'll go too far and cause me harm. I DO so wish he'd tell me those things!

I recently passed him a note in my most submissive voice, begging him to re-discover my limits, and begin stretching them again, and he seems to be taking me up on it! ~Happyslavedance~

Here's another thread that probably needs starting: How come all the books say that Shame & Humiliation play are almost exclusive to male subs, and that women never like to go there? Almost every fem-sub I've ever met has loved that aspect!
 
Zen meditation ~ If the scene has few words said and is repetative for periods of time ie flogging/bondage the effect and after effect are on the level with meditation for me.
I try to meditate daily :rolleyes: The first time I got to a meditative state thorugh a scene i was shocked/amazed/elated and now want it every time!
Not sure its the same as sub-space, as each persons sub-space is different but it is relaxing and inspiring.

As for books on submissive/slaves why are they usually written by men who also write 'Topping' books or by a Master/slave combined effort.
It has always surprised me that we have some strong subs on here, anyone of whom who could write a book (or a musical Hmmm who could that be aimed at I wonder? ) yet we 'make do' with odd articles on the web or books for subs written by male Doms. :(
Although DVS's piece on sub courage was (for me) spot on. So some Doms' have the knack obviously..
DVS wheres the book to go with the piece you have already written ?! ;)

I am a pain slut. I crave intense sensations, all the time. I don't get them because I can't find anyone willing to give the pain I need without expecting submission (blech) but yet the craving, need, is still there.

That's the short answer and the honest one...

DON'T MAKE ME THINK HERE!!!!

Sorry for the hijack Techno turns on techno... ... ... ...

Hehe... anywho, I guess I would be a somewhereinbetween slut. Uh, yeah that's it. I think. Or is that just plain sicko slut?
 
i'm a strange sort of masochist. i hate pain. pain of any kind. i never enjoy it. it doesn't arouse me, doesn't turn me on, doesn't make me feel good at all. yet i need it, crave it. i need to suffer at the hands (or will) of a man...not just physically but emotionally, even psychologically. i need to feel/be abused, mistreated. i need to be hurt, basically. for some reason being hurt fulfills something within me...likely something sick (sick as in psychologically ill), something damaged deep down. it doesn't make me happy to be hurt. it doesn't make me horny or cum to be hurt. but being hurt is one of the things i need in order to feel whole.
 
That sounds like it could bear a little self-analysis, subgal... It doesn't make you feel good, and yet you feel it's necessary- So what does it make you feel? What is the nature of the hole in you that it fulfills?
 
Well, now. Things have changed around here on the maso front of late. It's an interesting change.

The sadist loves it.

I used to be an endorphin junkie. I chased that subspace buzz--the more he beat me the deeper I went. I was off in la-la land, higher than a kite fairly soon after he broke out the heavy stuff. Great for me, but frustrating for him.

Sadists like to hear you scream, you know. Hehe.

Somewhere in there something changed. I really started getting off on the actual pain. Getting into the sensation of the instruments, and not the buzz. It was an amazing switch. It's not to say I don't achieve subspace anymore, because I do. It's just not that deep, all-encompassing disassociative state. It's just enough to enjoy. Just enough to fly a little. Just enough to keep the screams down to a dull roar.

LOL.

Regarding humiliation? It rocks. Nothing gets me out of my ego-driven, will-driven self like a hefty dose of humiliation. He uses it regularly.

I love it. Which poses the question, is it still humiliating if you love it? *shrugs* Yeah. It is. I recall be snatched up by the hair in Wal-Mart the other day and being directed in another direction because I wasn't paying attention to the task at hand. Humiliating? Yep. Did I get turned on by it too? Yep.

Case closed.

I'm much the same. I like to be spanked, paddled, flogged, whipped or whatever and then rode hard. (Clamps used to get me going, but not much anymore.) But I don't really want to submit.
 
It used to be that I was dead-set against submitting. I relished that whole "proud, unbroken woman ravished by the BadGuy" image, I suppose. Then my Master actually broke me. One day, I just suddenly found myself begging him to mold me completely to his will. Came as a bit of a shock to us both!
 
Painslut.. deffinately.. If i don't feel some amount of pain either self inflicted or by anothers hand.. I just can't orgasm without well getting bored first.. I've not had my limits tested much and what testing and such I've done to myself only make me seek another to do it so much more. I enjoy humiliation but not verbal.. ( Oh yes. verbal abuse child here.) I can take and adore physical humiliation like being drug around by my hair or forced to my knees and "made" to give oral. things that for me are both humiliating, and demeaning. It's not so much the force.. but the lacking of options.. that and I'm a lil' shit.. I like to test and test and see what I can get away with. and reveal in the consiquences. I guess I just like being naughty.. and getting a spanking for being a bad girl...

what's the nature of the hole it fulfills? it's a hole that can only be filled with suffering, with having been hurt. it feels right...not good, but simply right. as in, this is the way things should be. this is natural. this is what i am here for......that is the only way i can really explain it.
 
subgal- ~slightly worried look~ Well, I do hope at least that it doesn't leave you feeling bad! None of us can define what any other takes away from their BDsM experiences, but one would hope it to be a healing experience, or, barring that, at least not one which further harms.

DarkLady- Dammit, that's it. I'ma gonna go start up that fems & humiliation thread now!
 
i think masochism is tough to define as its definition evolves constantly for some of us and to pin it down is kind of hard.

Pain, humiliation, debasement, suffering are all part of the masochist's sliding scale, but since we have our own mixed flavors, i think it's pretty much about which mixtures create the strongest reaction. By reaction, i mean internal, emotional response to what we're enduring. Today a craving for debasement may be tomorrow's fear. i don't know if i could make a laundry list for what constitutes my masochism, but i do know that pain is an important component. As to the other types of masochism, those are necessary as well and require a finesse in order to make them unbearable -- which is exactly what makes the use of humiliation, debasement and abject suffering so addictive.

Well I've pretty much said I'm no painslut. started a thread on d/s Without the pain or bondage, for instance. And yet.... Love those hickies. And taking it lower down my back. And the embarrassment of having to wear turtlenecks to the PTA meetings, or forgetting to:rolleyes: :eek:

And, er, some of that other stuff people mentioned -- being dragged around by the hair, on my knees... THAT kind of pain, mindplay of all sorts. Oh YES PLEASE

Spankings I've only had light ones, still while I can't say anything heavier like whippings attract me, it does sound like people change, or go deeper sometimes. Not a primary motivator but a definite tickle. More the shameplay and mindplay D/s for me.
 
I'm not a painslut, and yet sometimes I ask to be whipped. It's because I want the attention that's required for a proper whipping, to know that my ass (thighs, whatever) is the focus of my Daddy's attention.

I'm not really into humiliation much. I only get into it if I can tell Daddy's really enjoying it. There have been times when e's not very into it, but is trying anyway to see what happens, and then I'm just miserable.

I'm not sure what kind of masochist I am. I'm a delicate person, I know that much. I guess you could say I'm a loving masochist. I don't enjoy the masochism for its own sake, but rather because I love my Daddy, who has sadistic tendencies. Does that make any sense at all?
 
Perfect sense!

That's pretty close to exactly how I feel about pain, at least now. It used to be different, as I said before, but then, along the lines
of what s'lara said, it evolves as we evolve. Pretty cool, that.
