Hi Hi, On the 1st part of your post, I pretty much agree with what has been said and can only add that my own tollerance for pain can fluxuate greatly depending on my head space, my life at the time and my health. On the 2nd though I will share a tale of caution. I come from a rather varried background and learnt quite young how to shut down in the face of unpleasantness that I percieved was beyond my control and to just accept. I also spent some time as a working girl and am very apt at "performing as expected", the better I was , the more I was percieved to be getting off , the quicker it was over. Sir and I had discussed these parts of my background; and he had shared me before with very plasant outcomes. This was the second time round with this particular couple and it was a great experience the first time. However,I had my reservations as this meeting was under entirely different circumstances and though I was told that nothing would procede unless I was comfortable with it, I disbelieved him; my history said there was only one way this would go ... sex was a given and being shared would be part of this. So when everyone was heading down this path, I saw it as a given and when he checked on how I was feeling I just accepted it as happening. From the outside anyone would have said I was having the time of my life, yet inside I had just shut down and was putting on the "expected performance". He was just another to be pleased, it was Sir's wishes and mine did not count. I was unprepared for the resentment I felt ... that this man; my Sir who had become so important to me could be so like so many others, so I told him what a bastard he was... OMFG unprepared for the storm that followed was an understatemant ... "I had betrayed him by with holding my feelings" ... "I had discarded his trust in me to be honest" ... "I had no faith or trust in his judgement or his word and the proof was that I felt the necessity to decieve him" .... "If he had wanted to damage me or destroy our relationship he could have found more direct ways than arranging what he thought was a play session that we were both looking forward to and conscenting in" ... but the big one "If he did not care about how I felt and did not want to take that in to account when making decissions than why the hell would he ask me and check that everything was ok during the evening ..." The final depth was when he asked "what sort of relationship did I envisiage us having when he could not trust me, where was the respect in this relationship" ... I look back on this and wonder how I managed to get out of that huge hole I dug for myself and thank all the powers that be that he let me back in and did not just cast me there and then. I have made a lot of mistakes along the way and my growth and learning have been staggering, yet I still rank this one as one of the worst mistakes I have made with the biggest repercussions for our relationship because I abused and damaged the trust in the very foundation of our relationship. I actually did what I was accusing him of. I disregarded his feelings, his words, his care of me. I went ahead with actions with total disregard for anything he had said and with no thought of the consequences of my actions. I was the victim that became my own nightmare. It still amazes me to look back and see how easy it was to change sides, and how it happened without me even noticing. Hope this helps
