A new kind of drug dealer.
Recently a friend of mine made a comment that created much reflection for me. After reading one of my more recent entries she left this comment:
Perhaps if you do plan a little and get something creative and exciting planted in your mind that you want to explore with your Master or the young woman, then you’ll be caught up in the fast-paced excitement, as well.
At first I simply read it for what it was but as I sat on the living room floor, staring at her words I could feel that twinge, that niggling inside of me that told me something was "up" with my feelings. As obvious as it was, I could not match my sensations to the words, it was not until I woke this morning that I understood where my unsettled reaction was coming from.
Since the very first meeting with the young woman, both Master and the young woman have been filled with excitement. In every conversation I shared with them regarding playing together I have heard a sense of eager bliss, both of their minds constantly swimming with new ideas, new possibilities, pretty much absolutely anything they could imagine. On Thursday when the young woman came to the house I felt that same urgency - a need to experience everything at once. An excitement to put as much pleasure, as much experience into those ten hours, as humanly possible. Truthfully it has been similar to watching people who are high; individuals who want just one more hit, to soar just one more time.
I was witness to that very unique lust yesterday as Master and I were in Home Depot, shopping for an assortment of potential toys. With every pipe, every rubber tube, every piece of wood I witnessed the glaze cover Masters eyes and I knew he was already feeling the anticipation of using such devices, of receiving his "high". And although I have no proof, I am certain had I shared with the young woman all the naughty thoughts Master had she too would be salivating with lust, wanting the next play weekend to come quickly. In some ways I feel like a little drug dealer, only there are no pills, no artificial substance. No, instead the drug of choice comes in the form of BDSM, the exchange of it between a young woman and my Master.
Witnessing such excitement from an outside perspective is very interesting. I am very happy to see Master beam, to see the pleasure in his face and I am glad the young woman is receiving just as much pleasure and that she gets to experience such events in a caring and safe environment; however, I confess it is odd not to feel the same level of heightened sensations. I would say that my level of involvement is curiousity. I want to explore to understand my own desires, to see what I truly want with regards to my sensuality and sexuality. In many ways I look to the times we spend with the young woman as tasks, moments for me to learn about myself so that I can fully understand who I am and what I am.
What I am taking from our exchanges with the young woman is different from what Master takes. This does not mean it is negative, it simply means it is different. And although my feelings do not match those of Master I still wish to explore because I have not yet fully learned all that I want to.

I agree that being dominated is very much like a drug. It’s intoxicating, almost literally. I remember the very first time I experimented with pain. My Master at the time took various canes to my flesh. In riding those stinging hits, I had to embrace it so as not to get caught on the PAIN. I’m having a hard time putting it into words, but I just remember having to rest afterward. The adrenaline and endorphins running through my system made me hyper aware but also very languid.
That little rushes are always exciting and something I seek. I get some of the same “highs” from my profession, which is a totally different kind of fun, but the same idea.
I hope you continue to have fun and be excited by the times you’re acting as “dealer.”

silver,
I know of many people who refer to this “lifestyle” and the acts he/she participates in as being similar to being high. I think any time adrenaline rushes through a person, any time endorphins are released a high is released and we simply want more.
I am happy to know that your experiences keep you wanting more.

I completely understand. I didn’t mean to imply that you were in a negative situation and I still don’t believe you are. I’m overly tired and don’t know how to articulate what I am thinking right now. It just seemed like you were yearning for a little more emotional involvement and that you wanted to be caught up in the moment with them.

Lauren,
No no no.. you did not imply anything negative at all. No worries. Truly you simply gave me something to reflect on and I am happy for that.
I truly appreciate your point of view.

It’s so funny that you should mention this. Last night, while talking to a friend of mine, I ended up saying “I almost get high off of pain and being dominated,” which made me think the exact same thoughts you just posted. I never really thought of you as a dealer though, but I related our play sessions as getting high, how I truly am looking forward to “one more hit.” The only difference here though is that while I enjoy it, I am not addicted to it. My life is not dependent on constant play. I am not an addict…though I may very well become one over time. It’s almost scary to put D/s playing into such an analogy…

Kaja,
I have used the drug analogy for many years with regards to BDSM. I first used it because that is exactly how I feel when I am being dominated and the intensity of it all has only increased over time and just like drugs, I find I need more and more stimulation to reach a bigger, greater high. This analogy has been used by many, I certainly am not coining that phrase, so to speak, I am merely using it here and I believe it makes sense.
As for you being addicted to it, I know I most certainly am. This does not mean I could not live a life without Masters control, it merely means I would not be as happy.
I like that we were thinking along the same lines.
