Cell Popping/Temporary Branding

[Chicklet]

(this question is prefaced by a story. Please bear with me)

There's a lovely part of Leather Pride Week here in Portland called Leather Tastings. The group in charge of the event set up a large room with about a dozen or so different sections, each one filled with separate BDSM experiences. There was sensory dep, where they were willing to blindfold you, stuff your ears, hood you, wrap you from head to toe, and let you experience being cut off for however long you negotiated. There were different types of impact toys, a foot washing station, needles, shibari, suspension, and the one that caught my eye first FIRE PLAY.

May I please point out that if you're a hairy man, and there's a fire play demonstration station, you should do everyone a favor and go home and shave before trying it out?

Anyways, I tried out a lot of the stuff I hadn't experienced before. Except the needles, I HATE needles.

The violet wand left marks on me for three days. Up and down my arms, along my cleavage. My PYL of the moment ( ) was sort of irritated by that.

The fire play was AWESOME. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.

The person offering the fire play offered something else at the end. Something I'd heard very little about, although I HAD heard of it: Cell Popping.

He looked me in the eye and described the cell popping briefly. He would heat up a sharp pointy stick (that's my definition of the tool) and touch it to my skin. It would burn the skin, causing the cell to explode, and make my body think that I was under some sort of hostile attack. Happy feelings would explode from my brain, and I would feel floaty.

Ideally, the mark from the cell popping lasts two months. However, the gentleman looked me up and down and said that in my case, it would undoubtedly scar, and would I like to try it anyways. I passed.

Saturday night I was given the opportunity to watch two people go through the process of having designs of their choice burned into their flesh using this technique. I went straight into play afterwards, and didn't have the opportunity to ask them about their experiences, and now I'm dying of curiosity.

Has anyone here experienced this?

What was your experience like, and would you recommend it?

Did the mark fade away like it's 'supposed' to, or did it stay?

Were you happy with the result?

Anything else?

Inquiring minds (mine) want to know.

I've never heard it called cell popping, but it sounds exactly like what I know as Devil's Fire.

Here's something from a few months ago, and the link to the thread.

The way I know devil's fire is a bit different. I know it as a "tail" of metal wire, almost as thick as hanger wire, with a handle of sorts, often a bit of wooden dowel. The tail end of the wire is heated, usually with a small torch, until it's rather hot, orange. You then press the end of the tail to the skin. There's a spiffy popping sound that I've heard on the receiving end of such treatment. It feels excruciating, in a really really good way.

The first person who I ever tried fireplay with (David Walker of SAADE and Flames of Passion: Handbook of Erotic Fire Play) said that the body cannot discern area when the burns are as bad as they are from the devil's fire. So a few pin size burns and your body releases the same endorphins as if your entire body was on fire. My quick google search found one source that backs this up, but I don't know, it could be wrong.

Course, now I'm going to have to try your version of devil's fire...

edit: I forgot the mitt comment. The only thing I have to say about those is that they get reaaally hot after a while, which wasn't a problem for me, but the dom was pulling it off mighty fast.

edit 2: I realized in lab today that devil's fire, as I know, it looks an awful lot like inoculating loops that have the actually loop cut off so that the two twisted ends are free

As to your questions...

Has anyone here experienced this? Obviously.

What was your experience like, and would you recommend it? I would highly recommend it. Loads of painful good fun.

Did the mark fade away like it's 'supposed' to, or did it stay? They fade, and I've never had any last as long as his "two months" estimation, month is normal for me.

Were you happy with the result? Very much so, the pain/pleasure was wonderful, and the marks were a happy reminder. Just have them done in an easily covered place or random pattern if you don't want them noticed. I'm fair skinned, but have enough freckles no one can pick these marks out unless they know what to look for or they're in a recognizable design.

Anything else?

I've never heard of having permanent scarring from it, and marks the size of a pen point are only noticeable if you want them to be.

disclaimer: I'm sure there's an exception to the rule, of course.

*wicked, wicked, evil grin*

I'm giving a fireplay demo Saturday Aug 25th, for TECKC near Raleigh, NC.

They've sold out, reached capacity, maxxed the audience, for the first time in TECKC history!

Woulda been nice to use you for the demo dummy Chicklet, I'd let you experience Devil's Fire (what you called cell popping) along with things like streaking, cupping, fire batons, etc.
