My essay about why enjoying the bliss-high is different from the pain high, what mazochism (and sadism) is, and what is not. The limitations of the system of brakes, and overreactive empathy, as a limiting factor for service-oriented tops.

From tea and nervous chatter to opera-paced flogging and deep bliss, it’s a story about consent, trust, and the subtle shift from control to surrender.

Impact play turns edge-of-comfort pain into deep, embodied pleasure. With the right mindset and environment, the nervous system can transform discomfort into euphoria - the unique magic of flogging and sensation play.
