*smiles* Yeah, i didn't mean to imply that you were impervious to pain or anything....and i understand what you mean about your Domme wanting reactions from you, i'm just not sure i have the fortitude to not scream or make an awful lot of noise and general fuss...not because i think it should stop, but because it damn well hurts!

We already have a lot of trust, i couldn't even contemplate doing DS (especially involving a moderate amount of S&M) with anyone i didn't trust...but, and this is my point, all the trust in the world won't enable me to not make noise for very long. This is where the 'he' in question will turn up and remind me that i don't make noise when he asks me not to, which i don't..but i doubt i could sustain that for 20 strokes of a cane.

Mmmm, you put that really well. Get rid of power and add a smattering of unfairness and that pretty much would sum up my pleasures as well.
