Cutting, hence why I said "into cutting."

It feels exciting, powerful. The feeling of instilling fear into another human being is a huge turn-on, it drives me wild. It ties into how I love force and aggression. It just feels like all of my energy put into the tip of the blade.

Knife play does not need to mean cutting, per se, just so that you know. Sometimes, the person does not even break skin. The fact of having a knife against a person's skin is enough to give the feeling of terror. I am into both knife play and cutting during knife play. I love the taste and feel of blood. I could not tell you why I like it, but I do. It's very good.

Right, I just wanted to make sure.

I don't know if I could cut someone, even if they asked. I feel bad about making people bleed, and I usually cry from the guilt of it. I like aggression, and some force, but not violent.

I know knife play doesn't mean cutting, but when I did research on it, it linked them together. I found a nice website that gives good instruction to beginners for knife play. The idea of something sharp sweeping over my skin in an interesting idea, but only with someone I trust a lot.

Oh, I love your post. I like hearing about the different desires, from different perspectives. Are you against cutting your bottom, or do you just get more pleasure from the sensual play as a top?

That seems about what I hear, yeah. Do you do a lot of things that cause you terror?

Oh gods. Prepare for rambling.

When I top, I love the sensual knife play because it has a better flow to it. I'll put on music (Oriental Uno and Mission by Beats Antique are on my knifeplay playlist, as well as Sandstorm by Darude and Just Like you Imagined by NIN if you want a feel for the style I enjoy playing to), run the knives over their body in time to the music. I've been told that the way my body shifts and moves looks like dancing as I use my knives. I am not against cutting my bottom, but I'm a sanguinarian, so blood is kinda a big deal with me. I don't make people bleed casually. The only person I have that kind of bond with right now is one of my lovers, and we play hard. His back, post cutting (no clicking unless you can handle blood, please, people).

I'm owned, so there are very specific rules for me as to when I am allowed to be cut. Right now, only my Owner and one other have that privilege. I love the ache of a knife blade, and the feel of my blood on my skin. Oddly enough, it's relaxing to me.

don't forget the circles around the whole lot of lines and stars

It can be dangerous if the person is inexperienced. But please, don't sit there and say it is "emo" stuff, because if you are using it in the sense of people being "emo" and cutting their wrists, this is completely different. Not only that, but yes, it is emotional, as so many things are in life. I mean, you shouldn't cast stones when you have just admitted you have never really heard of it.

This reminds me of Stein from Soul Eater haha

*several years after the fact*

I'm looking into piercing but that freaks me out more than anything else I think.

Sorry I am no help...Not our thing.
