Maybe its because im young and durable, maybe because im a martial artist... but in my experience, I have to say I love it when it hurts a little... errrr... alot. Up against a wall, nails in my back, heels dug into my kidneys, it it doesn't make me bruise somewhere by the next morning it wasn't great. (The exception to this has been the one time ive really made love, but thats because it was emotionally, soulfully attached.) Whats your take on this? I know many people here have turned 28 a couple times, and wonder about what their greater experience tells them.

Funny you mention the thing about the martial artist. I've been doing martial arts a long time...and I think it's actually put me off of pain somewhat.

Now lemme explain. I like rough sex, love it in fact. I enjoy making love, mind you, when it's specifically supposed to be about the emotional attatchment. But if it's sex for sex, ifwe're not doing the rough and tumble down and dirty FUCKING, it's just not fun in my mind.

But maybe it's because I'm tough (as much as I can be, anyway) or maybe she's just wimpy (and these are HER words, not mine), but she never really seems to be able to hurt me. Even when she scratches at my back, it doesn't seem to really do much beyond leave a bit of a red mark that goes away after a bit.

But this is kinda good. Because honestly, when I get hurt, I DO go into fight mode. Maybe it's just been conditioned into me, but I get all like 'okay, I'm hurt, who has to die?'. Only not quite so deadly and much more dorky looking when in actual action.

I've actually been trying to decide for a good while if my aggression and violent response to pain is due to my training, or from being picked on so much ^^;

I've never linked practicing martial arts to sex before with the exception of from the standpoint of physical conditioning.

Interesting ideas though. I'll have to give them some thought.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Yeah, there's a fairly large amount of crossover from martial arts training, and various rough sex/outright BDSM practices.

Only some of you really want to know how I know.
