Actually, 100 swats doesn't get too painful until you're up at the 75 mark. It's just tingly and warm. My ass was bruised afterwards and I was proud of the marks my Master had left behind. It was like having a constant reminder of him.

And yes the other stuff can seem very extreme, but its all part of the kink. Being in a D/s relationship involves huge amounts of trust. When looking for a Dom, go slow. Don't rush into anything and make sure there is a huge amount of communication. There are so many subs out there that have found themselves in extremely abusive BDSM situations. Over talking about playing is impossible. And when you find a good Dom, you two together will mold your BDSM lifestyle into what fits both of your needs.

I truly love my Master with all that I am. He is my friend, my love, and my protector. Even when he's inflicting pleasurable pain on me, I feel safe. Like he would never let anything bad happen to me.
