"You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel...
The smell of resigned leather...
He taught you all he knew...
One man, and his honor"
I have read quite a few profiles on this site over the past month or so, and I am really curious about something I've noticed. There are some people who say that they have no limits and others who have extensive lists, but one of the things I see almost across the board is knife play. Why is that? I have seen a few people who say they enjoy shaving their subs but do not like knife play, but isn't that considered a form of it? Also, providing that all people are tested and clean, why is blood such a hard limit for so many as well? Is it just a matter of cleanliness, or do a lot of people get grossed out by blood?
So many questions, so little... well, on second thought, I actually have all the time in the world at the moment.
I, personally, have always had a curiosity surrounding knife play. I like the idea of my Dom having something that has the potential to pose great harm, but also having such complete trust in knowing that said harm would never come to me while in his hands. Blood feels... personal, intimate, almost bonding, I guess. I'm not quite sure how to explain my feelings on that one..
I still feel weird talking about all of this, but I really am doing my best to become more comfortable with myself. I'm also just a naturally curious person, but that tends to get me in trouble sometimes, so we're not going to talk about that =P
In other news, I have officially gone stir-crazy and am now watching House for the fifth time.
