That was the biggest myth that I believed too, that everyone involved liked pain. Now I realize some are satisfied with just the mental aspect of D/s and don't even like or need pain. I guess I kind of just expected everyone into it to be as "intense" with it as I was, but clearly the majority of people seem to be satisfied with more mild play.
