I have to agree with the bruise=sexy thing.

I will go a step farther and point out that I know just how much pressure it takes to bruise me during sex and have in fact had sex that involved nothing but very talented hands applying just the right amount of preasure/pain to my upper arms and hips and bringing me off nicely in a public place. The resulting fingerprint bruises were a lovely reminder which lasted for weeks. And that's only talking about the ones made by hand. Bruises and welts left by toys? I'll save that for another time.

I know that many people do not enjoy this level of pain or the resultant bruises, but there are also many of us who do.

I will, however, take this time for a mini rant of my own. I can not tell you how many BDSM fics I have read where the author clearly has no experience in the scene and has not bothered with any research.

If you want to write a D/s relationship, or a bondage scene, or even a good spanking...

Please do some research. Try it out yourself or talk to a sub or Dom and get his/her perspective or even read one of the many good books out there on the subject to get a glipmse of what is realistic.

Please!
