Pain and Pleasure.

The opposite sides of the spectrum, or elements intertwined in harmony?

Our whole lives, we learn how to love pain.

We learn to eat chili food, we learn to enjoy the exercise burn, we learn to crave sadomasochistic sex.

After we experience pain, our brain releases chemicals that give us pleasure, to compensate for our suffering. It’s a confusing mix, that makes us enjoy the pain.

No other creatures in the world do that - they all stay away from it at any cost.

Pain is a uniquely human indulgence.

Experiments in Pleasure

Get two blindfolds. When you are ready to take the foreplay to the next level, use one on your partner and one on yourself. Deprive yourself of all visual stimulants, but also of the comfort that sight brings. Rely solely on your hands to guide you. Explore each other’s bodies. Don’t rush it. See their body, only with your hands. Touch every part of their body, from head to toes. Explore every inch of their skin. Gently. Intently. Removing the ability to see will enhance the excitement that the touch brings.

The Beginners Guide to Spanking

Pleasure and pain are the most curious and at the same time most frightening combination there is. Our minds are taught to avoid pain and to seek pleasure. What happens though when the two are intertwined? Can we learn to seek pain in order to receive pleasure? Can we identify pain as pleasure?
The following topic won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Many like the fantasy of it, but only a few have the audacity to experience it. This is my guide to spanking.

Quick Bites of Curiosity

Few things I stumbled upon this week, that are worth sharing with you:

• How often do you kiss your partner?.

• Martini recipe - because some like it really dirty.

• As the adage goes, sex sells. And it sells everything, from cigarettes to hamburgers to shampoo. But when you need to sell sex, what do you do?

• This week’s playlist - because Massive Attack is the perfect soundtrack for spanking.

This was your weekly dose of Hedonism. Share it with the world.

Life is good,
The Hedonista
