Many couples engage in power trips or mind fucks involving denial. It can be sexual in nature, such as chastity, or pertain to other things, such as privileges, as a means of control or punishment.
While topping, I love a bit of tease and denial. Cuffing my male bottom and stimulating him visually and physically but never allowing orgasm can be quite a rush. However, I don't participate in orgasm denial with Daddy. We have sex to have orgasms; more's the better. Daddy loves to say "no," though. When I asked for a collar, he gave me his dog's old collar. I started trying to describe what he might get me from a sex shop or jewelry store instead, but he said "no" to everything. If I ask for something sexual, like anal or oral, I won't get it. After I've been bad, he denies me the pleasure of his company. I revel in his denial because it only confirms my own desire for his dominance and control.
What are some of the ways denial is utilized in your relationship? What is its purpose? How does it make you feel?
