Funny you mention the thing about the martial artist. I've been doing martial arts a long time...and I think it's actually put me off of pain somewhat.

Now lemme explain. I like rough sex, love it in fact. I enjoy making love, mind you, when it's specifically supposed to be about the emotional attatchment. But if it's sex for sex, ifwe're not doing the rough and tumble down and dirty FUCKING, it's just not fun in my mind.

But maybe it's because I'm tough (as much as I can be, anyway) or maybe she's just wimpy (and these are HER words, not mine), but she never really seems to be able to hurt me. Even when she scratches at my back, it doesn't seem to really do much beyond leave a bit of a red mark that goes away after a bit.

But this is kinda good. Because honestly, when I get hurt, I DO go into fight mode. Maybe it's just been conditioned into me, but I get all like 'okay, I'm hurt, who has to die?'. Only not quite so deadly and much more dorky looking when in actual action.

I've actually been trying to decide for a good while if my aggression and violent response to pain is due to my training, or from being picked on so much ^^;
