Master P
My mind often goes to the
strangest of places and
physical punishment,
correction or Fun-ishment
however you want to term it
can slip into a loving
brutality.....Whoa i can hear
you shout, amidst the
collective intake of breath
a n d t h e m a n y
gasps.....keep reading and
see the softer side of my
opinion....
Physical punishment to me
is primal, it is a primal state that allows a Dominant to physically
or mentally over power me, Submitting to loving punishment is
the ultimate power exchange especially the physical, i have
given over my freedom of movement, choice and safety.....it is a
very freeing state to be in. It also deeply seats me into
subspace, a profound physical reaction.
"we don't need to understand fully each other's needs...we just
need to fill each other's voids"
loving use of punishment closes those voids, it allows an unparalleled symbiosis with my
Master, that deep deep intimacy that you only get with absolute trust. I want to know there
are consequences to my actions, that my Master cares enough to enforce our dynamic so
i don't stray from the fundamental basis of our relationship and it's foundation.
I think it is sensual pain i often see as endurance, a positive that makes me feel like a
fulfilled woman.... to be totally dedicated to something outside myself is a prime trait of
women.... whether it be motherhood, or the extreme sympathy and care she gives or how
she endures the discomfort in service to her Master. I find an intrinsic part of my service
could be seen as pain based, but i don't identify as a masochist, what i do identify as is
Master centric and enduring... be it pain, punishment, correction, time apart .....a deadline
for a task...i see it as fulfilling and pleasure to give that...
I could not surrender to the punishment without the love. I often say to Master that each
lash of the flogger is just a different way for U/us to demonstrate that love and
commitment.
