Okay, i may be seriously missing your point here (being one of those dastardly young women an' allOriginally Posted by ProjectEuropa
)..but isn't the fact that it's painful and/or unpleasant the whole point? Clearly i have no experience of CBT (yikes), but to draw a parallel, when i'm having my nipples tortured, hell, it HURTS, but i still get off on it, both as an adrenalin rush and as a manifestation of submission....to delve deeper would be to question the whole submissive/masochistic psyche, which is is a huge can of worms.
