My Goddess Isn't My Therapist
» My Inner Life
Probably everybody who engages in some sort of BDSM activity has seen the Pravda article on therapeutic whippings. (Pravda, at least the English language edition, reports some of the silliest things.)
If you know the name of the artist let me know. Seems like I should recognize the style.
I don’t engage in D/s for psychotherapy. Before Alexandra left I was having problems with a needy ex-lover. The stress was often enormous.
But a part of an evening surrendered to her left me feeling elated the next day. So you might say a kinky whipping did knock the kinks our of my psyche.
Really I don’t know if it was the pain, the giving up of myself or if there’s a meaningful way to distinguish at times.
From the M/f weblogs that I read it is clear that I’m commonplace in this. Many women write of their need. And of loving Doms who oblige them eve when it overrides their own wishes for the evening. Romantic D/s can be a subtle thing. Should be.
This page long predates the Pravda article: Using S&M as Therapy
