I remember watching an old black and white film as a child called “The 39 Steps” (1935, Alfred Hitchcock) . I always used to have dreams about being on the run, of hiding behind walls and crawling through tunnels to escape captivity and run away from people. I visited the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam a few years ago and cried my eyes out openly. I know for sure that I have had past lives that have haunted me, as well as my present one which was equally shaped and affected by events out of my control early on when I was too young and scared to speak up. It’s all fine and normal now though but when I first saw “The Bourne Identity” it brought it back a bit, and much as I loved the film (and Matt Damon), I had a fear of being captured throughout. I have since read books on dreams and had it all explained and personalised for me by doctors, psychiatrists and counselors over the years, so I sleep well and am at peace with it all.
However, I think my BDSM tendencies are still affected because I have fears of being captured, caged, tied up or blindfolded so I doubt I will ever make a good real life ‘player’, hence I stick to the things that I know I need emotionally and understand better. Of course as a spanking model or actress I can play dark roles really well, because my fears and emotions are real and I am in a safe environment, but to try any of it for real would take the sort of trust I am not sure I would ever be able to hand over to anyone. Why am I saying this? Well, I have had conversations with and have dated a few Doms who are more experienced in terms of real ‘BDSM’ activity and were looking for submissives to train. I think they are surprised that when I wince and turn my nose up at so many things, when as a supposed ’submissive’ or ’spanking model’ they assume I am experienced in much of it, or should be. I can take punishment and pain as much as many (so I am told and led the believe) so it isn’t a question of my suitability or worthiness but more-so whether I really want to share that much of myself in certain activities that seem alien to me. I would wonder how much of it would be for their own self-gratification and how much they actually cared about me and I don’t ever want to feel demeaned. I am a total submissive in terms of how I see myself with an authoritative figure and my general nature, but that is far more in a domestic setting which I understand more because it does not feel ‘play’ or a test of limits like a game. Being spanked in real life for real reasons is a completely different thing though and something I do understand and accept. I did like the movie “The Secretary” though and that is as far as I would go I think, so maybe I am just sick and scared of being probed and tested anymore, who knows?
On a similar note, I was doing a role play but was so tired, having got up too early. I knew my character well as I had played her in previous scenarios, and I rehearsed well and was looking forward to the scene. When it came to it and I was being told off (scolded) I just started giggling and couldn’t stop myself, whereas in the past I have been able to play daunting scenes well so I’m told. This was a one-off for me and my co-star has since generously emailed me and said “believe me, the majority of people would have noticed nothing at all wrong. Even on an “off day” you role-play at a level far beyond…”, but I still feel bad that I was not at my best. I won’t beat myself up though because I am human and maybe I have to get used to the fact now that I need to slow down and not push myself so hard all the time. The actual physical punishment bits were fine but when it had all finished he sensed I was not really up to the scening and asked if “Emma” wanted a caning instead. I surprised myself and agreed and said I would take another hard caning. I don’t know why but I wasn’t still locked in sub-space as my role-play character but down on the floor as just me. He gave me six strokes and at the end I lay slumped over the back of the chair and cried my eyes out. When I got up, he gave me a massive hug and I cried on his shoulder. He asked if I was OK now but to my (again) surprise I asked for another six. This was a first for me, but I put it down to my tiredness and need for an emotional release, but I am not sure why I felt like this or if I will again. The process and result were repeated and afterwards we sat down and talked. I was visibly more relaxed, speaking slower and calmer, like I and just got out of a hot bath or sauna! Well, my bottom was sore for real but I felt tranquil for change (see pictures above, sorry a bit grainy). So, was that ‘a ‘BDSM’ experience? You know how i feel about labels lol!, but I just don’t get it anymore and the lines are becoming smudged.
I am pleased to say that I will be shooting with Lucy and Paul at Northern Spanking next month and I am really looking forward to making my debut. I love what they do, it is one of the best sites around so please continue to support them with your memberships. I will report back on this once my attitude has been adjusted (lol, AS IF!!) so please pop in to Northern Spanking to see what kind of welcome I get!
