So what will change if you get the answer to this?

There are probably as many answers to this as there are masochists. Somehow, a link develops between pain and sexual arousal. In some cases, the masochist may be addicted to the endorphins the body releases when it is hurt. In other cases, the pain is less important than helplessness or being dominated -- the pain is merely a symbol of this.

It is possible to play masochistic games safely with a knowledgeable partner. It may take nothing more than a spanking! You need to establish rules (for example, no bruising and no blood) and a "safe word" that will tell your partner that you've reached a limit and need to take a break. Both of you should also take a basic first aid course, and both of you have to be comfortable calling for emergency medical help if necessary -- including telling the EMTs what happened. Remember, both legally and morally, the "top" is responsible for the safety of both of you.

Finally, do not play this game when either of you are high or drunk!
