Sadomasochism!
In order to understand the meaning of sadomasochism, one must first learn to accept the techniques which create it...and then learn to love it. Let me tell you about how I was taught to accept both the techniques and the love of the action.
Do you see this picture? Beautiful, isn't it? Believe it or not, that was me back in 1987, when I was in my sophomore year at the Nassau County School for Boys, laying prone on the carpet in the dorm room of one Richard Barnswell, the captain of the soccer team. As you can see, I was dressed in my school soccer uniform (sans shoes), gagged and blindfolded, my hands bound behind my back and my feet bound together at the ankles. A third rope was brought into play with which to hogtie me in this rather painful position. As you can see, there was more rope under the small table near the couch. What it was going to be used for, one could only imagine.
