a question for sadists

[leo9]

Well, of course I'm not really into causing actual pain. That would just make me a psychopath.

Was that intended as irony? I ask as one whose taste for causing real, actual, hurty-type pain is only limited by what my sub can take, and who has on occasion delighted in thrashing someone into a sobbing bleeding half-conscious heap of welts and bruises. But I'm as sane as the next man. (Looks around at some of the men here.)

But I'm as sane as the next man.

I might mention that I was once given a detailed personality test by a psychologist who, knowing my background, was slightly startled to find me rated as "Masochistic." A Domme I know still refers to it as "Leo failed his Dom exam."
