Pain
The body’s receptors for pain and pleasure are intricately related. When the body feels pain, endorphins are released and created a heightened experience. As far as pain relates to sex, many people have been experimenting with using pain tactics during sex or as foreplay for the last century. This is often related to BDSM or a sadomasochist relationship. In this case, pain is not just arousing by itself but rather because of the power play issues that come with it.
Many people enjoy being in situations where they are in complete control over someone or enjoy being controlled. One of the largest communities of pain fetishists can be found at Alt.com. It is an alternative dating site where many people put up personals looking for a partner to inflict pain on him/herself. Even though pain tactics as a fetish as so common, it can be hard to find a partner on the same level. That is why the members at Alt.com talk openly about the types of pain they enjoy and what they wish to experience. Some examples include emotional pain through verbal abuse or humiliation, spanking, flogging, suspension, branding, and so on.
