[QUOTE]Bambino,
Maybe you simply aren't hard-wired to have the "play-punishment kink". I doubt anyone finds every kink erotic. If you don't find it particularly arousing, don't worry about it. It is probably one of the more common turn-ons but that doesn't mean you have to have it, too. This may be why you are questioning the logic of this activity. If it's play only......it's not supposed to be logical. Those who do like it are just looking for an excuse to play the game. They don't care if it is reasonable or fair. For goodness sakes, please don't believe you have to be like everyone else. If you don't like something, shout it to the rooftops. Be your own unitque self. Hope this helps.
