"Addicted" is an apt word because it feels like a drug high.

I done very little research on peak experiences, "flow", and "Zen" states, but from what I've read, there's a neurochemical similarity to altered states of consciousness.

Me too! It's almost as if one reaches the bottom of their dread and is left with two basic options: (1) collapse into one's self and do nothing (e.g. cancel the session), or (2) commit to allowing yourself to be lead by whatever you find energizing in the moment, and open up to that (this is applicable for subs, too)

I've done that and ended up going into Domspace. I think it almost makes the session more rewarding because not only did you "deliver", you overcame a psychological obstacle.

I noticed early on that when I threatened to torture his female subordinate that his reactions become more genuine, so that's the avenue I went down. At some point it wasn't acting anymore and that is a very difficult sensation to describe. We all "believed". We were lost in it and it was magic.


TThat sounds incredible.

These types of "magic moments" happen more often for me with subs I don't know


I think this may be the case for Me as well.

there is another type of scene where I can attain that as well, usually with clients that are very well known to me. It happens when boundaries are pushed and permanently moved - most often in S/M play. I remember one such experience during a brutal caning where I became so light headed that I had to sit down. It was an amazing experience for both of us.


Amazing. I think this is a testament to the power of what We do.

I have noticed that when I have a realization about the intensity of some of the things I'm doing (e.g. heavy bondage, gags, rough body play, caning, whipping, degradation, etc) and the amount of trust people are placing in Me, I am deeply moved. I think this helps facilitate the space We hunger for.

Thanks for sharing, Mistress Ayn!
