subs/slaves/masochists /bottoms: Do you get sexually turned on when pain is inflicted on you?

Contributor: CandidKinkster CandidKinkster
I'm curious about how many bottoms find themselves sexually aroused when pain is inflicted on them. Personally, I don't find pain play sexually arousing, but I think I'm in the minority.

I don't get turned on by the pain itself. What turns me on is having him be in control of the situation which may or may not involve pain. If it's too much pain it's a turn off for me and I make sure to let him know otherwise it ends up being an unhealthy situation.

I agree with Taylor.

I'm a pain slut. Pain always arouses me.

It depends. I think the pain usually is a turn on, but some kinds of inflicted pain are more of a turn on than others.

I do find pain to be incredibly sexually arousing but I don't identify as a bottom. I also love inflicting it as well to an appreciative partner!

Scale of one to ten - one being a tap and ten being damage and lingering hurt - I prefer a four. Couple of smacks, hair-pulling, pinching, squeezing ... just enough to leave marks (which my pale skin gets easily) but not enough to shut down arousal like a frozen pipe.

Still 'training' (lol) Master that I'm not as delicate as he thinks I am. Kind of hard to do when separated by 5,000 miles and limited on visits.

My fiancee and I enjoy a little bit of pain, but we're not into anything too heavy.

I'm much more into the "being controlled" aspect of submission than the pain factor. It sometimes works for me (just a bit of pain though, nothing too much - a spanking or paddling is about all I can take) but mostly pain just jars me out of my subspace unless I'm in really deep.

Sometimes to rarely. I may be submissive but I am definitely NOT masochistic. It depends on the situation--but I like the performance more than the sensation (slapping, pulling hair, etc.,).

I'm very aroused by being controlled, manipulated and mildly degraded so pain is only a turn on if incorporated into this type of play. Although this is silly, I envy the subs who endure a good spanking or cane whipping, cry big crocodile tears, orgasm the whole way and, although they cringe sitting down for the five days, beg to be punished again! Pure jealousy.

It depends on what kind of pain, I mean I don't get turned on if someone hits me by mistake but if Daddy hits me then yes!

It depends on the kind of pain, and the intensity. Everything is a variable.

I agree with the others, it depends on the amount & location of the pain. Didn't John Cougar say hurts so good?

this is accurate for me too, some pain arouses me (widely varies by the body parts involved too) while some just 'feel good', on the 'masochist' scale I'd probably stick myself smack dab in the middle at a 5/10, I like flogging, paddling, the occasional welt/bruise but drawing blood and dark dark bruises are not my thing, I also prefer sting over thud :3

I find it arousing if inflicted by my lover. Though he hasn't inflicted anything too serious, I do confess to admiring the marks left afterward and find myself fantasizing about what it's like to be struck with a cane or flogger. But then again, I'm new to this thing.

I'm unable to climax if I am not in pain.

That being said, there ARE certain types of pain I don't like: eye pain, I like stingy less than thuddy, I don't like being "flicked". Those are the major ones.

I like a healthy dose of pain with most all my pleasure. And I like it many forms. But not all the time. Sometime a little love making without any pain can be just as good for my senses.

Honestly it all depends on the type of pain and where it is being inflicted. I love it when my dom spanks me a little too hard or abuses my boobs.

I like the tinge of pain, not overwhelming just enough to get my attention

Me too, padmea. I swear, I crave it. I like all sorts of pain too - impact, temperature, clamps and clips of all sorts, choking, slapping, tit torture, ass play, clit torture, nipple torture, clothespins anywhere & everywhere, breast bondage, sensation stuff like wartenberg pinwheels and vampire gloves & the like, light knife play, and so on and so forth. I'm also fascinated by electricity/violet wands & fireplay, as well as a bunch of other stuff. I have this feeling I left out like a dozen things as I am braindead from working too hard and a total and complete lack of sleep but oh well. So be it. You guys get the picture.

Oh, wow. I'd say I prefer more like a 6-8. If I can't stand it at first, it's just more motivation to put up with it for that much longer, which, ultimately, both ends up turning me on more and, of course, gives me time to acclimate to the pain and then I just want more and more of it. I really really like it when someone pushes me and pushes me and I end up with marks all over me and a face soaked with tears.

I love the marks. They're almost like a badge of pride or something. Or, like, when you get the next badge as a girl scout or something - every time I get a mark in a place or of a severity that I haven't before, it feels like an accomplishment. Also, I love love love being able to look at the overlapping bruises and welts and be reminded of who put them there and when and how. They're like love marks to me. Almost like a hickey or something.
