a silvery kiss of pain

a night at the loft
long ago
when i earned
my one & only
loft mark

i had stood admiring
a blurry blend of spinning sticks
and silvery-steel stars

i took a fascinated closer look
when the sticks
ground down
to a halt

and then

suddenly a quick bright flash
and a silvery star
suddenly cut
deep into my flesh

oh naughty boy
how did you know
how did you know I wanted a taste
how did you know I wanted a taste of that pain

and what a deliciously sharp pain
blossomed
oh too sharp
oh too tasty
beautiful painful blossoming
kissing my skin

my instinct
made me push
back
against it
deeper, harder, sharper
I wanted it

claiming the pain blossom
for a deeper moment
deeper into my flesh
and mind

for a moment
I flew
climbed the lightening
bright bite of it
higher and higher
oh yes higher

in real-time
it lasted perhaps
a nanosecond
in my brain
it rolled through me
for days and days

I fluttered up
up up and away
up out of my head
somewhere deep inside
masochistspace

I looked down
from a dizzy great height
with amusement
at the silvery star mark
left on my arm

my inattendu loft-marking
that made me smile
for days.

Under 40 ~ The New Kinky Bar

It was a blog post on KinkySexLink, the group blog that I contribute to, that triggered my thoughts on the age factor, in the local BDSM scene & BDSM/Fetish audiences in general.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the fetish events in town (that´s the fetish ones - not the BDSM ones) have a majority of young kinksters. And honestly, alot of the marketing is geared at that demographic.

I see more & more events and things being organized for the under 40 (and under 35 crowd). I even saw an interesting kinky vampire movie casting call out recently - and all the female characters were young.

Is that what people want to see? Do these young kinksters who keep getting younger, all want to run away from the older pervs?

I´ve heard that even expressed from friends as well, that emphasis on looking for someone/something young & hot.

I find this highly ironic in some ways. In my vanilla life, about 90% of my friends are younger than I am. I still feel like a kid myself inside. I have no problem relating to those younger friends. And they seem to get something positive out of my friendship with them.

I don´t feel old, but lots of segments in our society would classify me as old because I´m 40. What is 40 supposed to feel like? I don´t feel old. If anything, I actually felt freer & younger when I turned 40. It´s the fearless factor I think. Suddenly I didn´t give a damn about many things and just want to drink life in. It´s been great.

But I remember being in my 20s and thinking 40 was ancient. Hmm maybe I should scratch that. Looking back, I dated/saw/played with several men who were in their 40s, when I was in my 20s.

I see that age attitude today, in the local kinky scenes.

Oh yes, there is a good strong contingent of the 40 + and even 50+ crowd.

Personally, I feel comfortable talking to everyone young, old & everyone.

But I don´t understand this great prizing of the young, hot kinksters - why so many seek this young flesh to play with and preference for it. I prize maturity over youth. By then again, my ideas of beauty in general I have come to realize so many times, are quite different from the norm. I have been with many different kinds of men. Some men that I was seeing that made women jealous because they were perceived as being ¨gorgeous¨, others who may have seemed ordinary to different eyes. All of them had something special for me. Just as my taste in women is quite different as well.

So where is this kinky age thing going?

When all those aging kinky babyboomers retire from the scene, will the kinky youngsters inherit the earth?

Kinky food for thought.

Changing Cravings For Pain: A Survey

The Effect Of Pain On The Body - Long Term

This is something that has been on my mind quite a bit these last few months, and wanted to hear some opinions on the subject.

Burning questions for your consideration:

1. For those of you into pain, have you noticed any changes in your pain tolerance as time goes on?
2. As time goes on, do you find yourself craving more pain? Or less?
   
3. What is the effect long-term of physical punishment on the body?
4. For those who have years of experience, has your tolerance for pain grown...or diminished?
5. What other factors affect one's tolerance for pain?
6. What other factors affect one's craving and desire for pain?

I was talking to a fellow Switch at a Kinky BBQ I attended recently on the subject of pain. Judging from the scars he showed me on his face and body, this was someone who did have a good tolerance for pain. After the play session he had there, he mentioned how good it felt to feel the pain again and how much he had missed it, since it had been quite some time since he had experienced pain on a regular basis.

I myself definitely have a taste for pain, on both sides of the equation. Lately I have been finding my tolerance seems to have diminished, to my dismay. I don't know if this is just a temporary aberration happening for some reason. It made me wonder if the body stores a sense memory in the tissues and that perhaps at some point it becomes too sensitized. Is this possible?

Yet on the other hand, I was also talking to some Dominants (at the same Kinky BBQ) about how some people develop "leather asses", who require higher and higher levels of pain to be delivered on their bodies to be able to actually feel the pain.

Lots of food for thought.
