I don't believe Ahren is attempting to criticize your lifestyle, Stephanie. I think Ahren is attempting to criticize your choice of words. He's reasserting that the literal definition of pain is the absolute opposite of pleasure. The two cannot be synonymous.
It isn't my reality, it's just reality. If you find pain pleasurable, well good for you. Your statement seemed to imply that everyone does and some people just don't know it yet. That's obviously not true.
But hey, maybe I will someday. Maybe I'll get my arm torn off and immediately have the best orgasm of my life.
Just want to throw my two cents into this pond because it is such an interesting topic and one of the basic tenets of bdsm for many and the one that most outsiders have a hard time understanding. This is simply my opinion and the way I view pain/pleasure its not meant to apply to everyone in the bdsm world.
There is a huge difference between erotic pain and what we normally think of as pain.
Erotic pain utilizes the slow build up of sensation combined with pleasure to the point where the brain begins to confuse the two sensations and all you feel is pleasure which ideally leads to the powerful orgasm. Visualize a soft suede flogger lightly hitting your ass with heavy thuds that feel much like a massage that lulls you into a trace like state. Then deeper sensations of a cane interspersed with a powerful vibe to your clit and soft kisses to your neck. All of the sensation build and build until the final explosion.
This is a far contrast from orgasm due to amputation.
