Pleasure in Pain [Student/Teacher]

Chapter 4

Computer is being a pain in the ass, so this is unedited, but I promise I'll do it later! :)

I looked over my paper, the whole time biting my lip and wondering if what I wrote about was acceptable. I knew my topic was very controversial, so I didn’t really have limits as to what I could talk about, but it still made me nervous. I had started off with people who were against domestic discipline. It was obvious that there were going to be many people like that. It was also self explanatory. A lot of people saw it as abuse and would try their hardest to make it illegal.

            However, the other side was completely different. There were several communities revolving around the whole concept of it. Some were Christian ones, claiming it was God’s will for the man in the relationship to punish the woman when she was out of line. Other communities talked about believing it was the right thing to do, whether it was the man who punishes his partner, or the woman who punishes them. There was even talk about people being ‘switches,’ meaning that they would both take part in punishing the other.

            All the information I was taking in was a bit overwhelming. I found myself researching for hours on end just so I could find out more. There were parts when I was utterly shocked, but then others where I was completely intrigued. It was as if I was in sixth grade science again watching a baby being born on the TV. One of those moments where you want to look away, but just can’t stop watching.

            What I found most interesting was that when it came to domestic discipline, I found that it wasn’t only about physical punishment. Sometimes the man or woman would refuse to allow the other to orgasm. They would get them all hot and bothered, and then punish them by stopping. Or they would go days without doing anything sexual to them, and not allow the other to masturbate so they could get their fix. The Dom would even take things away or not allow the sub to do anything, as if a parent was grounding their child.

            As I continued my research, I found an acronym I had no idea about: BDSM. Being the person I was who wanted the best grade possible, I searched more into it. The concept included all of my earlier research, but added much, much more. My findings were so overwhelming that I couldn’t possibly write only five pages. I had to write boat loads. It wasn’t about getting a good grade anymore, it was about informing people what this kind of lifestyle was about. My paper had taken an incredible turn. I had barely written about the opposing view, having it only take up two pages, and then the other seven pages were about the people for it.

            During my search, I ended up watching several online videos about it. Some were documentaries about the BDSM lifestyle, and others were people actually participating in it. There were a few things I wasn’t too sure about: them being the whole forcing the submissive to do sexual things to the Dominant. I couldn’t exactly pinpoint how I felt about that. I knew before the sub went into that kind of lifestyle they had consented to such practices, but did they feel fear while they were doing it? Did they feel violated?

            So many questions were roaming through my mind, but I couldn’t stop watching the videos. Some involved the sub being flogged or spanked with several implements. There were two kinds of videos when it came to something like that. One would be the sub getting punished by the Dom, and the other was for play. I heard the term ‘pain slut’ several times in the play one. The sub would be turned on by the pain, and after the Dom would pleasure her and allow her to orgasm. However, some Doms still incorporated pain for punishment even if the sub got turned on about it.
