i had two new experiences this weekend.

the first was rope bondage. surprisingly enough, i've never actually been tied up, as opposed to being tied to something, such as an a-frame or a saint andrew's cross, before. but J has been to a few rope bondage workshops recently and decided to show me her new hemp rope and what she can do with it! she bound my arms behind my back and criss-crossed ropes across my chest. the result was quite flattering! i felt deliciously helpless and vulnerable. i would have liked to have stayed that way for a while, but apparently my arms were beginning to turn purple, so i was only allowed to remain tied up long enough for J to take a few pictures and then she untied me again. 

next up was more needle play. last time J put 40 needles in me, this time it was 105! this was a really intense experience. it's difficult to explain the feeling, each individual needle doesn't really hurt that much, and they only hurt going in (and to a lesser extent coming out). once they're in, they quickly stop hurting. so in theory, there doesn't seem to be much reason why the 105th needle should hurt any more than the first one. but somehow there is a build up of pain - or perhaps a wearing down of endurance? either way, toward the end i was really beginning to think i couldn't take much more. and yet i loved every moment of it! 

all this happened on saturday night. on sunday morning - or possibly it may have been early afternoon, we had a bit of a lazy day - i was introduced to my second new experience of the weekend, a hitachi magic wand! it had a rather more dramatic effect on J than it did on me, but i found it intensely pleasurable too! 

i also got spanked! bare-handed! floggers and paddles and canes and such are all very nice, but there's something exquisitely intimate and personal about a good old-fashioned bare-handed spanking! 

somewhere in the midst of all that i somehow found myself agreeing to a belly-button piercing! we haven't done it, yet, but i've agreed to it! eep!

and yes, i did get to have an orgasm! in fact i got to have two, again, and they were awesome, again. i had to do some serious begging for the second one. i know i'm not going to keep getting away with this, J has already told me how much she enjoys the idea of letting me reach the peak of arousal and denying me an orgasm! and just knowing that she's thinking about it, and enjoying the idea, is such an incredible turn on! i'm experiencing such conflicting emotions when i think about it. it's going to be very hard to take ... and yet .... and yet ...
