Emotional Masochism

Defining Emotional Masochism:

Emotional Masochism is defined as emotional pain and emotional humiliation.  Some who seek pain gravitate to physical pain.  There is evidence that Emotional Masochism can provide elements of pleasure to those who are triggered by it.  

Emotional pain is addressed in the auditory and cerebellum receptors.  It is a complex formula of self-loathing being nourished through pain and humiliation while arousal and pleasure are sparked through the auditory and brain receptors.  

The Origins of Emotional Masochism:

According to Paul Bloom in his book The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning, Emotional Masochism can provide an intensity as significant, if not more so, than physical pain.  Why would one seek out pain?  Why would one seek out Emotional Masochism?  

The origins of the need for humiliation, pain, and Emotional Masochism derive from self-loathing and low self-worth that often begin in one’s early life from a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events. 

Emotional Masochists don’t always initially recognize their attraction to the humiliation and emotional pain.  It may take life experience and maturity to become cognizant of one’s authentic desired tastes. Masochists do not have to choose exclusively physical or emotional pain.  However, they may end up graduating from one to another.

Humiliation Is Foundational:

Humiliation can ignite the Emotional Masochism one seeks.  For humiliation to be an effective tool, it must be unique to the individual on the receiving end.  It cannot be effective if the humiliation is generalized and non-specific.  The more intimate the humiliation is, the more likely the Emotional Masochism will take hold of the recipient.  

Effective humiliation creates moments of raw vulnerability.  That vulnerability provides opportunities for the pain that the Masochist is seeking.  What makes the pain authentic is the unique humiliation and raw vulnerability that the Masochist experiences before the pain.

The Effects of Humiliation:

Effective humiliation will satiate the Emotional Masochist.  Emotional Masochism, when tripped by humiliation, can create a pleasurable landscape—creating a personable atmosphere for the endorphins to activate and fire.  When this takes place, the Emotional Masochist hits their pleasure zone.  

This is not dissimilar to those who seek out physical pain in caning, whipping, spanking sessions, etc.—finding the euphoria in the brain that the verbal Emotional Masochism has brought forth, that the Masochist has been chasing. 

It is very Pavlovian; to receive pleasure from a behavior, one is bound to repeat it.  If the receptors in one’s cerebellum need emotional pain and humiliation to achieve the pleasure zone, then they will gravitate towards humiliation and look for opportunities to expand that horizon.  

Humiliation can have a profound effect.  Where physical pain from a caning or spanking can have a finite effect, humiliation can have a lingering effect, especially if the results are perceived as positive by the Masochist.  

The Pleasure Zone:

Emotional Masochism ignites the Masochist’s pleasure zone. In that case, they will look for opportunities for additional humiliation scenarios, whether organic in the wild or synthetic events created in a monetized session.  It can be argued that monetization adds to the humiliation, which adds to the pain, the Emotional Masochism one would seek to hit that pleasure zone—having to compensate another person for humiliating and triggering their inner pain. 

Relishing in the pain and the humiliation is the pinnacle for the Masochist.  By-products of this naturally include sexual, intellectual, emotional arousal, and climax. They nourish the landscape of their self-loathing and low self-worth and bring them closer to the pleasure zone.  That is the goal to achieve pleasure on multiple levels.  Emotionally, intellectually, and sexually. It also opens the door to potential pitfalls of Emotional Masochism. 

The Potential Pitfalls of Emotional Masochism:

This is where the phrase “too much of a good thing can be bad for you” can be applicable.  If one is drawn to Emotional Masochism and gets that proverbial high from the humiliation and the pain, then one needs to be cognizant that the pain and the high they may experience can be addictive.  

Addiction can bring forth another form of pain and Emotional Masochism.  However, it is not always intentional.  An Emotional Masochist can become addicted to both the pain and attention they receive from the Domme during Emotional Masochism sessions.  This can create a dependency that is difficult to undo.  

Although it may sound appealing under some circumstances, dependency can limit the Masochist’s freedom and choice.  Also, when the high is over, sometimes a different emotion sets in, and that emotion is shame.  Shame can both feel like a paralysis agent and a flame for additional pain.  How the Masochist chooses to engage with it is a choice.

Emotional Masochism and Choice:

Is indulging in Emotional Masochism a choice?  If it sparks your arousal, the question of choice becomes less relevant.  The better question is, does Emotional Masochism satiate your needs?  Does it satisfy your emotional, intellectual or sexual needs?  Does it tap into and nourish your self-loathing? If you can answer in the affirmative, then Emotional Masochism may have a role in your life.  

It does not need to overwhelm you.  The best way to utilize a tool like Emotional Masochism is to compartmentalize it.  Take it and use it when you need it.  When your self-loathing is thirsty and craving to be fed.  Once your appetite is satisfied, you can tuck away your Emotional Masochism resources until they are again needed. When you do this, you are exercising your choice in how and when you engage with your need for emotional pain and humiliation.  

Using this model, you are making the choice and choosing to acknowledge your need for pain, nourishing it when needed so that you can live the robust life you deserve.  Embracing Emotional Masochism does not mean your life becomes limited. It may free you from many constraints within your head.   Allowing you to focus your energies elsewhere when you are not constantly dwelling on the emotional pain you are not satiating.  The path to quelling the pain is through engagement.

Interactive Engagement:

There are two routes for interactive engagement.  The most robust way is via phone. I can be reached at (203) 664-5952 or via text @ Premium Chat.  I do not require a specific minimum or maximum amount of time per engagement.  If your time is limited, please let me know at the beginning of our engagement. I can pace our interactions and respect the time parameters.  Check out My Services page for more information.

If you want to establish an ongoing Emotional Masochism relationship, the amount of time spent within each engagement is secondary to the continuity of our engagements.  Consistency is an essential building block in any relationship. The more I understand about you, the more vulnerable you are to me, the more value you will receive from the relationship.  To learn more about my background, who I am and what motivates me Click Here.
