As for how a submissive enjoys it, it probably varies from person to person. I know that some people get off on pain. Hell, a lot of us do during arousal. Think about the hair pulling, the spanking, the clawing down the back that would normally be annoying or painful to most of us but in a lot of circumstances can become erotic in the heat of the moment.
Just think of sadomasichism as a mildly more extreme form of that.
After all, pain and pleasure have a strange link, and both activate the same or similar parts of the brain when triggered if I recall, so it's not so odd. It all breaks down to endorphins and chemicals at the end of the day, provided you believe in looking at it from a scientific standpoint like I do.
I've heard that a lot of the appeal comes from a psychological perspective-either gaining or giving up control. This obviously isn't the case for everyone, but I've heard tell that some subs that like giving up control do so as a release from always having to be in control during their professional or public lives, and therefore turning that over to someone else for a few hours can be incredibly freeing, whereas those that are dominant sometimes feel powerless during their day to day lives, and domination is a means of regaining that power.
Of course, this is all hearsay and I'm sure it varies wildly depending on individuals, so grain of salt and all that jazz.
