A Mistress tests her slave's devotion
My Mistress addressed me.
"I have an ambition to get an article published in a learned journal, slave, and I need your help in some research I plan to do for that purpose."
"Would you like me to help you write the article, Mistress?"
"Certainly not, slave. Don't get ideas above your station. I need you as the subject for some physiological and psychological tests I wish to conduct."
"Yes, Mistress."
"The article will be about the paradox of masochism. Pain is a warning from the brain that we should avoid doing the thing which causes it. And yet the masochist seeks pain. He puts himself into a painful situation in order to demonstrate his subservience to his Mistress. He wants to suffer for her. He needs to show that his love for her makes him able to overcome the pain she inflicts."
"A common misunderstanding is that a masochist enjoys pain. Pain hurts a masochist as much as it hurts anyone else. He does not enjoy the pain; he enjoys the fact that he is suffering it for the sake of his Mistress."
"What form will your research take, Mistress?" asked her slave.
"The simplest way of measuring a male's pleasure is , of course, via his penis. In my research the subject – you – will be titillated (for purely scientific purposes) in order to encourage an erection. Then the cane will be applied. The behaviour of the subject's penis in this situation will provide the data for my research. I shall make notes recording which has the greater influence on the subject: the physical discomfort of the cane or the psychological act of subservience. Do you agree to take part in this experiment?"
"Of course, Mistress."
She sat on the sofa and had the slave kneel before her. She raised the hem of her gold silk dress and allowed her slave a glimpse of lacy stocking-tops and the alluring satin beyond them.
"You may touch yourself, slave. Masturbate." he was told.
After about a minute or so she spoke again.
"Let's have a look, slave. Yes, that'll do. Move to the whipping-bench."
She followed him, selected a cane and delivered a stinging cut. The slave gasped.
"Stand up!"
She put down the cane and picked up her pencil and pad. She spoke her notes as she wrote them
"After first stroke, erection maintained at more or less full strength."
She put the notebook down and picked up the cane again. The slave knew that this is his cue to bend over the horse once more.
Another powerful stroke was delivered. The next notes read:
"After second stroke: down to about half-mast."
"After third stroke: barely erect."
"Well, that does not say much about your love for your Mistress," she laughed. "Scared of by a little caning, eh?"
"Excite yourself again, slave, so that we can move on to the next stage of my research."
