Thanks to Ms. Jen, I also read Bob Flanagan's The Pain Journal. And, I watched the documentary, Sick, based on the latter years of his life as a masochist. Both were truly eye-opening. I must say that I'm still (a few months later) awed at how much he challenges assumptions about pain--and, for me (specifically) the engagement (word choice?) between masochism and topping. Yes, I'm still mulling over this one

Thanks, Jen!
