Phobias and BDSM

Re: tornadoes and hurricanes - they both scare the pee out of me. My ex lived in Baltimore for 6 months (job at Johns' Hopkins) when we were still together and I remember talking her through her first tornado.

It's funny, I live in earthquake country of San Francisco - not scared of those in the least, even after having lived through the 1989 one...

I claim to be afraid of flying, but it's more of a control issue (so why would I want to give up control to a man? Who knows?). Anyway, that's a phobia I have no desire to cure, since it's served me well in the past. My only true phobia is from those eight legged things (I can't even type the word) and I'd leave any dom who even suggested changing it. I don't see being able to deal with those things increasing my quality of life although it interferes with my life, I can't try to get over it.

Phobias:

1) Suffocation
2) Claustrophobia
3) Arachnophobia
4) Agoraphobia (large crowds of people, or huge open spaces)
5) Heights

The first two are, by far, the worst... and yet with the right Dom, I can experiment with asphyxiation. It's a trust issue. If I know that his hands can feel my pulse, can feel my panic... if I know that he WILL let go when he needs to, that he WILL take care of me until I revive.. then I can let go and enjoy it...

Anyone else touches my throat, and they're on their way to a rather painful left hook.

Thunderstorms put me to sleep...literally. It's the most soothing sound in the world to me. But I do have a phobia and if anyone ever tried to "cure" me of it, I would probably have a heart attack from the fear, or lash out and hurt someone. I'm totally, irrationally, crazy, terrified of grasshoppers. Seriously, can't even order the drink because the word even makes me sick. If I see one on the sidewalk, I cross the street like it's a pitbull and shake for hours.
