I went ahead and tw’d my own body

Under the cut there is an image of someone topless with scalpel cuts down their torso. I cordially invite you to not click the link if you don’t want to see that.





I don’t choose who I fuck based on body types or genders or genital configurations or the ability and desire to interact with some parts and not others. None of those are criteria that can make or break a potential partner for me. People hear that and say “Well, great, you sound pretty queer to me.” But that’s not the entire story.

I choose who I fuck based on their capacity for interacting with pain and power. That’s what intimacy is, to me. My sexuality is sadomasochistic. Hurting someone or getting hurt isn’t some sort of foreplay intended only to lead up to intercourse as the final goal. The pain is entirely the point.

I prefer “sadomasochistic” to “queer” as a sexual identity because people generally assume “queer” deals mostly with gender criteria for attraction. I have deep, absolutely required criteria for attraction, but gender plays no role in that for me.
