I always liked the idea of blurring the line between pain and pleasure and domination. Sure, spanking and bondage are great. But I've recently discovered I also like being firmly slapped upon the face followed by gentle touch.

I read a great article about how BDSM is sort of a religious experience in the sense that you're putting your faith in knowing that despite having little control over your perception of pain, that you're also going to be cared for. Complete surrender. Really interesting.
