I consider myself to be 60% masochist/ 40% submissive (with very little fetish). I cover a spectrum. I can be a 2 or 3 at times but lately a majority of sessions are at the boundary between 4 and 5. I have fantasized at times about experimenting with level 6. Being a masochist a key component to this is giving her the right to administer "no safe word" punishment but purely at her own discretion (which makes it different from a judicial). With the right woman I might have done it. It could be one of those things that after it is over I am glad I did it but am in no hurry to repeat.
