To me, cutting is very different than blood play. I was cutting because I was angry or hurt or scared, it was a way of coping with emotions I didn't want to examine. Blood play is pleasurable, it makes me happy to know I'm giving my Dom something he wants.

I hope I explained that clearly enough. Your thoughts?
This makes me think of an experience I had while in the hospital many years ago. It was just for a minor operation, but it was such a horrible place, which treated patients badly and humiliated them, and I felt awful a long time after having come home.

I had just begun bdsm experiences, and humiliation was part of it. It made me feel good, and free, and happy.

You see my point. Things may look or sound the same, yet be totally different. Only you know how they make you feel.
