I have a problem (was forum=28)Follow

I consider myself to be masochistic, and I'm not really sure why I am the way I am in that regard. From speaking to the folks in my BDSM community, I think it's at least in part hereditary. One of my friends has a sub whose children (they are 8 and 10) love to be tied up. Another lady I know loves to tell the story of the time she found her 5 year old son straddling the bath tub and jumping up and down crushing his nether-bits and giggling. I'm adopted, so I have no idea whether or not my tastes for BDSM are hereditary or not, but I think it's an interesting concept.

That said, I had a blissfully happy childhood, aside from being teased at school. The only really bad thing that has happened in my life is my dad died of brain cancer when I was 18. I've dealt with depression on and off since that happened, close to 10 years ago. I don't recall showing any leanings towards BDSM as a child, but my memory is also crap. I first became interested in kink when I was in my early 20's, but didn't find a partner who was into it until a couple years ago.

I like to think of myself as a moderate kinkster. I like knife play, as long as it doesn't break skin. I like scratches, hair pulling, spankings, flogging as long as it's with a stingy flogger as opposed to a thuddy one. I also like light choking. I enjoy feeling the restriction of my breathing, but not having it gone completely. I find the surrender especially intoxicating. Trusting the person I'm with to take care of me, and not harm me while hurting me is just an indescribable feeling. Having them physically lead me to do things to them, or being tied up and letting them do whatever they want to me is just awesome. Candle wax is fun too, but honestly that just tickles more than anything else.

If my kinks make me screwed up in the head, so be it. I will say this though. Becoming a part of my local community has helped me out in so many ways besides just giving me an outlet to explore kink. It has increased my self confidence and my comfort in my own skin. It has also helped me make a bunch of new friends over the last two years, that are just truly awesome people. Also, in my community at least, there is a huge overlap between kinky, geeky and polyamorous folks. It's amazing.

That's her point. She is asserting that, while the practice of BDSM is generally hedonistic, we have no reason to assume that the kind of meditative trance described here is actually just a state of extreme pleasure. If she's describing it as a meditative trance akin to enlightenment, it's far more likely that it's a state of emotionless peace.


Yeah, it's probably the prey response. Your body floods with endorphins, you freeze up, the jaguar eats you while the other peccaries leg it. It's a very calm state, but it's brought on by pain and pleasure, not by understanding. Even if you think trancing in such a way is a way you might reach enlightenment, it is not enlightenment itself. It's not an enlightened state, it's not a similar experience.

Tricking your body into doping itself up might feel great, but it's pretty much the opposite of the buddhist concept of enlightenment.


Your position is absurd.

Quote:
I disagree completely.

For one, Buddha spent years using pain in meditation, experiencing everything from starvation to sitting in thorn bushes. It was an extremely important part of his own path to enlightenment.

Plus, he believed that there was no set path to Nirvana. Polishing the sandals of monks would work for some. For others, enlightenment required deep use of chanting. Others used pain to force their mind to forget the present.

Yeah, HEDONISM as a doctrine is incompatible with Buddhism, since Buddhism holds that pain and pleasure are illusions. But pain experiences in BDSM scenarios are certainly capable of elevating someone into a state of meditation akin to something a practitioner of Buddhism might experience. But Hedonistic practices certainly can be.

They weren't talking about states of ecstasy, they were talking about meditative trances.


This post is incredibly incoherent.

When I was a teenager, I did self-mutilate and even went to the extent of being hospitalized for it. This was before the medication and therapy because my parents did not deem it a necessity for me. Now that I am a grown woman and have a say so in my physiological well-being, I am on meds and do go to regular therapy. I have found a more constructive way to deal with stress rather than self-mutilation. I have not cut myself or harmed myself in any way in a little over 9yrs because I found the BDSM scene. My therapist does not agree with the extent I go to sometimes but he has noticed a distinct difference since I have joined the community. We have talked at length about my preferences in the bedroom and he has theorized that I have an Endorphin addiction. Basically, an adrenaline junkie.
Chemically, our bodies react to pain the same way. Pain receptors in the brain light up and the brain send out Endorphins which are the bodies natural pain killers. Endorphins also make you happy or euphoric the more your brain sends out. Some people can get a paper cut and are flooded with Endorphins but people with a higher pain tolerance, like myself, have to go through more pain in order for the brain to release said Endorphins. I can take a lot of damage and it doesn't hurt. I can get tattoo's and piercings and not be in the slightest bit of pain.
My therapist does keep a close eye on my physical well-being and has said if he felt I was going to far with the S/M play, he would have to step in. Like I said, it has been 9yrs and he hasn't had to pull the plug yet.


Interesting. Thanks for the post, it helps me understand a little better. And now I'm less worried about you. Smiley: lol Hope you and your new guy have fun!

I'm not judging; I am not casting stones; and I certainly never said that I am perfect; no I too am a horrible sinner.. the difference is that I realize it. I am simply speaking my mind; but most of these people don't want to hear it simply because it makes them uncomfortable and see how they act like animals to me? Am I hi-jacking this thread to prove a point? maybe.. but I think it's a point well proven; though it will go over the heads of many.
If you are a Christian you surely know that we are called to speak the Truth. Do not just quote the scriptures that are convenient for your reputation; what about: "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."?


Shouldn't you be out on a ledge or something?

I imagine it's not an issue if said non-vanilla sex isn't what they need. Are you saying that after, say, role-playing during sex, you'd never be able to have sex without role-play? That's just silly.

That is a good point; but I think that this seems to be an extreme case. It depends on what you are role-playing and what part of your emotional psyche is being accessed.. in my view..

Two people role-playing as Rick Hunter and Lin Min Mei is a whole lot different than one member of the part role-playing..say (for example) being abused by their fathers while the other partner just thinks that their lover is simply getting their kink on; not suspecting that they are simply reinforcing their partners neurosis.
Like I said; rough sex is a bit different than not being able to enjoy your life unless you are physically injured. Some people may see that as "just normal" but I simply can't agree with that..
The next step is that the unsuspecting partner; newly turned on to this supposed "role-play" in the bedroom begins to develop their own neurosis.

For the record I have been with a partner that had some pretty heavy emotional problems that I just translated as liking kinky sex; and when I realized that her sexual desires of being treated very VERY roughly were more than just friendly role-play; I was so caught up in the sexual frenzy of it all I found it very difficult to call it like it was. It then became a situation where she knew that she had emotional control over me because I could NOT say no to the wild and violent sex.. I will not go more into the things that she was into.. But when our relationship was finally severed I found myself overwhelmingly haunted by the experience..

Maybe I should have just posted this firstSmiley: frown

********* You are making up filth to try and support your point. But studies show that participants in BDSM are LESS likely to commit violent crimes.

And you assert that situations brought about by your own emotional immaturity are grounds for labeling the behavior dangerous. The problem is that immaturity makes ALL behaviors dangerous. When that's the case, we are no longer talking about BDSM--we are talking about abuse. It's the same way how religious faith turns into religious zealotry.

Your nonsense about "maturity" being the defining factor of morality would actually have some relevance if there were no actual standard of morality..and maybe for you there isn't.. unfortunately for you you are not the center of the universe.

Your propensity to blind yourself to reality is actually quite stunning. You may even be better at it than gbaji.

I mean, even he has never tried to build a strawman argument suggesting that, because some humans are extremely violent and desire to brutalize others, then the world at large is just itching to rip everyone else to shreds.
