There was a study in the news recently that claimed that negative feedback would inspire more creativity than positive feedback. Those given positive feedback during a task felt better at the end of it but created less interesting work as a result.
If that’s the case then the gentleman below better prepare for a burst of creativity. I have a feeling she’s planning to inspire him. Somebody should push a paintbrush into his hand.
Of course it’s quite likely he’s a masochist, and will enjoy it. Which I guess would make him less creative. Hmmm. These things always end up more complicated than you expect.
I found this on the Kinky Games tumblr site. The watermark URL doesn’t go anywhere interesting, but I assume it must be something to do with this site originally.
Hi Paltego:
If he is a masochist he may be very well be artistically inspired! For us the positive and negative feedback are all jumbled together into an interesting primordial ooze . I find it;s usually a confusing rush of contradictory feelings that are rarely all positive or all negative, I am often creatively inspired by D/s.
Thanks for linking to another interesting URL btw. Your site continues to be a great femdom resource….
Hi hmp,
It’s an interesting idea that someone could be inspired by negative feedback. As you say, in the case of masochists it all gets jumbled weirdly together. Personally, I can’t say I feel particularly creative after playing, I’m usually just buzzed, floating and happy. But in general I find creativity comes sometime after the original thinking, when I’ve had time for my subconscious to process things (e.g. after a nights sleep). So who knows what adding some intense masochist play into that mix will do.
Glad you liked the link. It was funny as I read the original story over lunch at work and thought ‘that’s a great hook for a post…..now I just need an image to match up’. 🙂

Hey, I know both of those people. That’s Lady Xana, late of Residenz Hekate as you suspect. She retired a few years ago. The sub was known as Taake on Max Fisch. I don’t think he’s in the scene much any more either
She was a special Domme and I sessioned with her several times. She was a very sweet lady until she brought out her instruments of pain, then look out.
Hey Jim – Thanks for the background information. And yes, looks like Taake’s last post was over a year ago on MF.
She sounds like a lot of fun to session with. I love a domme who is as sweet as sugar, right up to the point she does something horribly sadistic to you!
