FINDING THE FABRIC OF YOUR MASOCHISM. Ancilla L. (Please excuse my very shitty and basic sense of aesthetics, the fact that I used three colours here is a very big deal to me)
MASOCHISM Sexual? Gratification? The tendency to derive sexual gratification from one s own pain or humiliation. Pleasurable? Pain? Humiliation? Unpleasant?

DISCOVERING THE FABRIC OF YOUR MASOCHISM I WANT PAIN BECAUSE IT FEELS GOOD. WHAT DO YOU DESIRE FROM PAIN IN A BINARY SYSTEM? I WANT PAIN BECAUSE IT FEELS BAD.
BEFORE WE ADDRESS MOTIVATIONS No motivation is inherently healthy or unhealthy and on the contrary, any motivation could be healthy or unhealthy, it is vital to figure out whether something is healthy for you. While it is common to act out of a prime motivation, it is a rare to act out of a singular motivation. Deliberately withholding your motivation from your partner could interfere in their ability to provide informed consent. While I have classified motivations into categories, thee categories are broad, and within them there is a personalised version of motivations for you to find.
