Tagged: sex, orgasm, penetration

The moment of greatest significance in love-making is not the moment of orgasm. It is rather the moment of entrance, the moment of penetration...

The BDSM ritual may be predominantly sexual in expression, however the goal is not gratification per se, but ecstasy.

A slave submits primarily to her own nature… That she requires a material, extrovert focus for her submission, i.e. the dominant, does not alter the fact that on the spiritual level her submission is essentially introverted.
