Dacryphilia Cry Me a River
This is the 1st in a series of shared essays, presented by, the Mistresses of LWD. Once a month we will choose a topic of interest to write about, for ourselves and we hope, our readers. This month, Ms Ryan, Ms Danielle, Empress Meredith, and yours truly will be posting, on this first edition.
To keep the discussion fresh and lively, on Friday I will be posting a thread on the free forum, Tease Mania, to allow our members to add their own views, on the subject of, Tears.
When spoken of in medical terms, it is categorized as a mental illness, and called- Dacryphilia, and is also known as, dacrylagnia. For the purposes of this essay, I will be speaking about crying, in a BDSM scene. Next month, we will revisit the subject, when Ms Ryan and I interview Richard Wagner, Ph.D., ACS, and Clinical Sexology, on Talk Shoe.
The subject became really interesting to me when it popped up in a conversation with Ms Ryan, and I began to think back on the times I was the impetus, of the tears rolling down my partner’s face. I began to wonder why I found pleasure and power in pushing those buttons, just to watch the flood of emotions, of a weeping man.
The day is still clear in my memories, the first time, tears were gifted to me by a submissive. There would be many more in his future, but that day, after driving across 3 states to be at his Mistress’ feet, roy came through my door and fell to his knees in tears, and locked my heart to his, in an instant.
Most times when my submissives shed tears, they were brought on with purpose and planning. I wanted to make them cry. I didn’t necessarily begin the scene with that in mind, and it is usually born of a moment within the scene. You can rarely put your finger on it - when some nuance of body language or verbal cue that screams out – take me there, and bare me nakid.
What else can a Lifestyle Mistress do, but to allow them that special release, to cleanse both body and soul?
You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed.
