Piercings

I won't lie, I enjoy looking at porn. It helps my imagination when I want to think of a fantasy, it certainly doesn't hurt with getting in the mood for things, and pictorial or video doesn't matter either. What I've noticed lately is that there's a lot of artwork out there where the sub has nipple and clit piercings.

Now maybe I'm fixating on this fact or something, but it looks like every time I turn around I see it. I get the kind of symbolism behind it, don't get me wrong, but it aggravates me in a way. As if it's a requirement for a sub to have piercings to be a sub. I'm sure there's femdoms out there with the same piercings, and I'm doubly sure (since I am a sub) that there's subs out there without any piercings. I don't even have my ears pierced. It just bugs me, and when I did have my ears pierced as a kid I had all kinds of issues, infections, green ears, hard times getting earrings in, etc.

The more I see of it in drawings and videos the more I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Or not so much wrong as not completely right. It's like subliminal peer pressure, and the worst part is I've got such a horrible fear of needles that it's not something I can just go out and do or try.

All in all it's just aggravating, and it seems like I can't get away from it much anymore, which sucks because its a bit of a turn off for me. Live or animated or as a painting, I see those sensitive areas pierced and I just wince - whatever else is going on become irrelevant. v.v And really, it's no big deal, I know my Master isn't going to leave me just because I won't get piercings in odd places, I guess it's just the feeling of not being able to get away from the association that bugs me the most.
