Painsluts
The Love of Pain
Pleasure and pain is a common term in everyday language, but its still largely a taboo, that some people find specific sexual arousals through the pleasures of pain. Nonetheless, sexual arousal through the infliction of pain is far from just a trend of the times or some sort of media myth.
In sado masochistic terms the driving force is far from necessarily the pain itself. Some are turned on by the power exchange, some by humiliation and others by a wide variety of other elements potentially involved in a S/M relationship or sadomasochistic scene. However, to some it is the actual pain that gives them sexual pleasure. In popular terms we will refer to these people as painsluts. In this case female slaves who crave pain to reach their sexual climax.
It is obvious that the context of pain is important to the pain slut or masochist. Few people get off on accidentally falling down the stairs or touching a hot plate, but equally the masochist might have gotten off on the same level of pain had the circumstances been right.
