“Tears – Are my weakness, there is nothing I will not do to extract them and there is very little I can do to control myself once extracted.
Eyes – Full of fear/dread/longing/pain/anticipation gives me joy.
Screams – Those blood curdling cries of pain make me smile.
Whimpers – Disarm me and are the foreplay to my night.
Begging – Drives me on making me want more and demand more of my partner.
Drama – The emotion of the moment feeds my character.
Vulnerability – I can sense it and I like it!
Pain – Is my aphrodisiac.
Sadism – To me is about action and psychology, which to achieve I require a degree of separation. Furthermore in these moments I become selfish and require the balance of the selfless to proceed.”

Yes, you will find that I’ve written this in first person… -shock horror- It’s good to be a little different now and then… ~smiles~ Any entry that is written in first person, was written for another site.
I wrote this particular exploration/journal entry back in early December, I have updated it since then and since coming across a particular sadist’s words over the past few days, feel it needs to be re-explored in some way. This sadist in question spoke of not just the desire/need to inflict pain but also the enjoying the fear. The drama of the interaction between the two people.
Fear, I’ve always been drawn to things that scare me. I’ve been watch horror movies since I was under 10 years of age, I’m desensitized to them now. Most of them are terrible b-grade things that are highly amusing but some, like Wolf Creek, offer a half decent scare. (And strangely enough I found myself terribly wet after watching that movie, well, parts of it. Is that bad? ~laughs~)
I often walk down dark alleys in the middle of the night, walking along streets or in parts of town that “normal” people would not go near after dark. I love graveyards, the cold chill of them and the thickness of the air, a thick stifling presence if you will. I don’t know how to drive a car but three-four years ago I decided to get my motorcycle licence. If you want a rush and a half, do that without having any experience on the road and go out in peek hour traffic. I’m still petrified of riding in traffic, but that rush is great, and I dare say the fear makes you more aware of what is going on around you. And if you get home in one piece, all well and good. If had a few spills; nothing bad, although one could have potentially killed me had it been a busy day, and not a Sunday. I recall seeing the car come out of nowhere and thinking, “Oh shit, this is going to hurt”. I’ve never been skydiving or surfing but they are high on my list of things to try.
I enjoy being frightened. The way my heart pounds so loudly in my chest; the way my blood pumps around my body, it is all that I can hear. The way I hold my breath, my chest tight until I cannot hold it any longer and breath out with a shuddering sigh. The way my body trembles, in anticipation (?), of what is to come, of what will be. The butterflies in my stomach. The way I rock back and forth when I’m scared, my palms get sweaty and I fidget, if I’m not tied up.
Having a dominant standing over you while blindfolded, the sound of his footsteps, the rustle of his clothes, the sound of his breathing. The sound of the whip, crop or leather belt whistling though the air, the loud sharp crack/thud as it lands on your skin. The air that disperses around your body that tells you what is coming. The way your body tenses involuntarily, before you finally resign yourself to the fact that to relax into the blows it will not hurt as much. The sound of his footsteps echoing into silence, as you wait, breath shallow, wondering when he is going to return, and with what.
Yes, I believe the fear and the drama is all part of it.
I wish you well,
beast.

The true masochist slave isn’t made, it’s a part of her at birth…
She finds ways to hurt herself as a child, never fits in with the others…
By the time she gets her 1st bloods, she is well on the way to self-abuse…
If you haven’t spent a lifetime giving yourself pain and hiding the scars…
If you have never put yourself into bondage and played with clothespins alone when you don’t have, or are too afraid to ask someone to give you the pain you need…
If your knees don’t get weak, if your cunt doesn’t start dripping as soon as the handcuff’s cold hard steel tightens around your wrists/life…
The black leather hood does not send your hormones soaring, make your nipples hard & knees weak…
Then perhaps you are not a masochist slave at heart…
…slavery is painful, real pain in more ways then you can think of…”
~Thank you to Master H for allowing me to use his words.~

Masochist n. – 1. A person that derives sexual excitement and satisfaction from his or her own pain or humiliation. 2. one who enjoys what seems to be painful or tiresome. (from – The Australian Oxford Dictionary)
Sexual masochism – Masochism is a term applied to a specific sexual disorder but which also has a broader usage. The sexual disorder involves pleasure and excitement produced by pain, either inflicted by others or by oneself. It usually begins in childhood or adolescence and is chronic. An individual with this disorder achieves gratification by experiencing pain. Masochism is the only paraphilia in which any noticeable number of women participate- about 5% of masochists are female. The term comes from the name of a nineteenth-century Austrian writer, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, whose novels often included characters who were obsessed with the combination of sex and pain. In the broader sense, masochism refers to any experience of receiving pleasure or satisfaction from suffering pain. The psychoanalytic view is that masochism is aggression turned inward, onto the self, when a person feels too guilty or is afraid to express it outwardly. (from – some online web site)

Over the past few months, I have taken much time exploring, writing and posting my thoughts and feelings regarding anything and everything from dominant/submissive, Master/slave dynamics to being a slave. I have scarcely scratched the surface of exploring my masochistic tendencies other than to offer a few paragraphs here and there in other writings.
Recently I have come across the words of an Alpha Male saying that a true masochist is born, much like a true slave is. I know that a person can be *trained* to tolerate pain but whether one likes it or needs it, as a masochist does, I’m not quite sure. “The true masochist slave isn’t made, it’s a part of her at birth”, these words made me pause, my mind started ticking and I started going over my life. I have never really thought about my need for pain in this way; I crave, no, needs pain at times to ease my mind or just to *get away*. I have been this way for as long as I can remember, to me, the need for pain, for being hurt just *is*.
I need pain after a bad day; or if I feel that I have done wrong, been displeasing or any other number of reasons. As much as I need a Master, a true dominant, I also needs a true sadist. A harsh, brutally sadistic yet kind and caring Master is very hard to find. A Master that is as happy to beat one black and blue as he is to have her kneeling at his feet with her chin resting on his knee as he strokes her hair. It is not easy seeking One that is a sadist, too many struggle with societies boundaries and words that one should not hurt another, especially not a female. The others are just downright abusive and inflict pain without worrying about the person they hurt. There is a fine line between a lifestyle sadist and a sociopath, or a lifestyle masochist and a battered person. The major factor being consent and the fact a lifestyle sadist cares about the one he inflicts pain on, monitors the reactions of the masochist and either stops if things get too much or pushes gently past boundaries/limits.
I learned very early in life, under 10 years of age, to ease any psychological pain with the endorphin rush of self-harm, namely cutting, which I made every effort to hide from the world. Scars, or “tribal marks”, as I like to call them, on my body bare testament to my need for pain. Once upon a time, I could inflict pain on myself and it would not hurt. An endorphin rush would cancel out any physical pain and I would *float* is a sub-space like state for a time before feeling was returned and I would ache. These days, hurting myself truly hurts, unless ordered to do so by a Master. Self-inflicted pain is different to pain inflicted by someone else; both give you the adrenaline rush, but they affect your mind in two very different ways. It is strange how certain things carry over from childhood into adulthood. Although once adulthood is reached, what once worked previously no longer offers the same solace, ones needs evolve and one craves more.
I remember when I was still psychologically exploring the need for pain and why I wanted/needed the kind of Master that I did. I had started speaking with a Master and he had asked me what I was seeking in an Owner. Upon telling him what I sought and needed, he offered me these following words.
“Ah the need for the hard core whip. The chains attached from neck to nipple to clit. With the weight of the Masters pleasure. Extreme. The edge. The forceful taking of your body at his whim. I understand. I know your type well. The abuse is when you receive your power to be what you truly are. The humiliation is confirmation of the life you want. The Master’s pleasure is the most important thing in your life. You would do anything at anytime to see Him smile at you. Do you not wait for the one that will arrive that you can kneel to; the one, when he walks in, he fills the room. His boots are dirty and you crawl to his feet, there your tongue licks each grain of dirt from it. And carefully, you look up and see him smile. You know that it is worth it”
I recall reading his words; my face blushing bright red and my breath caught in my throat, I started shaking. I’d known what I’d needed before I spoke to him, before I even knew that he existed but his somewhat harsh, truthful words caught me by surprise. I remember trying hard to skirt the fact that his words rang true; I received this blowing comment for my trouble.
“Do not mistake fear for excitement, cunt. You crave this. To be used as you were intended. To be taken at my choosing. To be forced, and tortured. It is all the same to you. Loss of control. I understand this. It is difficult to serve one that means so much to you. The constant fear of his displeasure. The numbing cold of his anger. Knowing that you are only here for him. I know it is important for you to feel the pain. And it will be there each and every night. As long as you breathe, it will be part of you. The humiliation and the pain what you need.”
And this was all he said to me that evening. He left me with a curt good night and told me never to disguise what I needed from him or another like him. I spent a sleepless night trying to make sense of his words, hurting and terribly unsure of myself. I knew he was correct in his observations of me and what I needed, but the fact he seemed to know this terrified me. He taught me to enjoy what I was, what I needed; to accept my needs, and myself, for that I’m eternally grateful to him
Nowadays, I revel in the fact that I need pain.
The rope that I am bound tightly with. The rope that tightens with each breath, seeming to cut me in two. The burning sensation as the rope rubs against my flesh. The pretty patterns that dent my skin once the rope is removed, patterns that can often remain there for days afterward and tingle when touched.
The rope bound tightly around and around my breasts making them grow obscenely large, hard and discoloured that the lightest touch makes me moan in agony and roll my head.
The clovers that offer a burning to my nipples or other tender parts. Often sending tendrils of pain along my spine or directly to my cunt. The way they tighten when tugged or drawn taut with rope. The way my nipples numb if the clovers are pulled for long enough, but offer a terrible pain that shoots around my body when the tension is released. The same clamps that once removed make me gasp, bite her lip and shiver as the blood returns to the surface.
The wide leather belt, or whip, that lands upon my already soaked cunt, making me squirm and hold my breath. My tender, wet skin tingling deliciously; growing more sensitive, more red and more *puffy* with each stroke. The seal from my own wetness that makes the pain more intense. The searing heat that flows from my groin up. The uncomfortable rubbing afterward when I walk and the sting from the heat of water when I shower.
A slapped hand across my cheek hard enough to whip my head to the side and for me to see stars. The taste of blood in my mouth afterward and the tears that appear in the courners of my eyes to roll down my cheek.
A hand gripped tightly around my throat, or a belt pulled taut. The tightness in my chest and forehead as I struggle to breath. The metallic tang in the back of my throat and the way my nose and eyes start to run. The way I struggle against him, try to fight him off even though I know that it is futile.
Having my head yanked back roughly by my hair, the energy that this sends coursing along my spine to make me shiver. Being made to look him in the eye when I don’t want to, because I am afraid of what I will see there.
The needles that have me trembling in abject terror as he inserts them under my skin or through my cunt lips. The twinge of pain as they pierce my flesh, one after the other. The pinching and puckering of my skin. Then tension building until I start to cry and beg him “no more”. Ohhh I loathe needles, I really do.
The gasmask hampering the way I breathe. The condensation on the lens, his hand over the other end of the hose. Controlling me and how I breathe, if he allows me to breath at all.
Hmmm yes, I enjoys the times when my skin is red and welted, when deep purple bruises flower on my skin; bruises that take weeks to fade to a yellow-green tinge.
A visual reminder of my Master when I cannot be near. The times when my body aches, an ache so deep that it hurts my bones but the ache offers a strange comfort, offers contentment and I know that my Master needs me as I needs him. That he offers me this sweet pain because he cares for me, understands that I need it, as I understand his need to hurt me, paint my body with his marks of ownership and I offer to him my body as his canvas.
Yes, after many years I have come to terms with what and who I am. Now, after much thought and exploration I understand that a true masochist is born not made or trained, just like a true submissive is. It is in one’s genetic make-up, it is the essence of who and what one is.
More scattered thoughts….
I wish you well,

I was speaking with a dominant earlier; he made the comment that he has trouble with his sadist side because it is so selfish. This made me start thinking, being a masochist is as selfish as being a sadist. I have begged in the past to be flogged, or to be given pain because I have needed it. True that the dominant did not mind doing so, in fact, it probably turned him on as much as it turned me on, but it was something I needed. If it had of just been a want, that may have been different, but the dominant in question knew me well enough to know if I was begging out of want or need.
Hmmmm scattered thoughts; I may explore this later.
I wish you well,
