Yes, although I've always enjoyed the pain alone (I'm weird that way! ), the mixing of the 2 is sheer heaven! After several months of mixing the 2 (Master can't bear the thought of just hurting me, even though I do like it! ), I have finally been mentally brainwashed to have the 2 (pain/pleasure) joined as 1 in my mind as either one alone, or both together are applied to me. Let's face it folks, I'm just one horny puppy! Antway, point is, keep mixing the 2 with your play, and let time solve the rest!
