While that may be your opinion of it I think this falls flat in true description. Does that mean that a person who doesn't engage in blood play isn't as true a submissive as another? No. It merely means that we all have different likes and wants.

There are other ways to submit and no one way is better than another. It's all about preference. less

Almost 5 years ago, when my husband and I got together, we were very into bloodplay. We used a razor blade, and would cut each other. At the time, we worked together, and people would think we were emo or whatever, because they sometimes noticed the cuts/scars all over our upper arms. We've haven't done it in quite a while, but lately, it's kind of been lingering in the back of my head.

Anyone else done this? less

Last time I checked stating an opinion was not a crime. My wife who died on October 27, 2011 had a cutting issues when we first met. She would do it to take the pain of her life away. We worked very hard together for her to over come this.

I personally take offence to being flagged for stating my opinion with just cause. Shows what type of world we live in. less

I didn't flag you, and I don't have pain in my life that I'm trying to take away. I personally take offense to someone assuming that just because we have a thing for blood, we're depressed and trying to get away from something. There is nothing more beautiful than my husbands tongue chasing a trail of dripping blood back up my arm to where it started. less

i did use to cut myself, so i can't see myself enjoying the act sexually. i think it would bring back horrible memories and feelings. but i can understand and respect your viewpoint, and your last remark was actually quite alluring: "There is nothing more beautiful than my husbands tongue chasing a trail of dripping blood back up my arm to where it started." less

I don't personally find anything bloodplay appealing at all. As a younger teen, I did have some self multination type behaviors, and to this day, I find that having needles stuck in my arm (as if to take blood or insert an iv) a very relaxing experience that's even more so when I'm able to do it myself.

I think that may be an important note for anyone confusing blood play with cutting, as they clearly don't necessarily go together. I couldn't intentionally harm myself without having memories of the uber depressed oft suicidal drug addled kid I once was, and I gotta say, doesn't really turn me on lol.

That said, there's still an aspect of it that romanticizes at least some extent of violence and self harm, and blood in general. This is, understandably, taboo, as for most people, blood is best enjoyed when it remains inside the body lol. It totally squicks me out, but I really don't have a problem with what other people do to their bodies as long as theyre doing it safely (taking proper measures to not get infected or pass diseases, for instance) and are doing it for mentally and emotionally healthy reasons. Same thing with stuff like "rape play" or whatever. less

Both my partner an I have done it for solo play. He is not sure how comfortable he would be with someone cutting him but the idea of cutting others is intriguing. And I like the idea of being cut.

It was something I did for enjoyment. I stopped because my ex-husband was bothered by it. I would love nothing more than to get back into it. So you are not alone. less
