There's a lot of forms of torture that have an equivalent in the SM world - sensory deprivation and electrical shock, to name two. But I've noticed that there's one fairly classic form of torture that you rarely ever hear of people enduring willingly as part of a scene, and furthermore, I think I now know why. I'm talking about the old needles under the fingernails.

I believe discovered why today. I let my fingernails grow long for when I domme (all the better to scratch you with, my pet), but today I subbed. On my knees on the bed, my hands bound, my bottom glowing nicely from a hard spanking, my dom took me from behind. However, when I came, I accidently bent a fingernail completely backward. Hard enough that it was stuck that way and had to be cut down to the quick.

This is why fingernail torture, for lack of a better term, is so rare. It really, really frigging hurt! For the first time ever, I had to use my safe word to end the scene so I could do something about my fingernail. And now my finger is red and it still hurts!

I guess this is paying my dues, since we got a good deal on a used car today. Sigh.

Okay, I'll quit whining. For now. ;)
 
*sighs* the longest nails I have are my retractable claws. No really- I have them. My nails are cut to almost nothingness because of my job ( no long nails on anyone who might do CPR on a baby) Yet can still draw bloody furrows if I'm not careful or acting in self defense.

And hearing about that isn't giving me any reason to grow them out once I'm out of my current job. *Shudders* that's just the wrong kind of pain.
 
OOOOOOOWWWWWWWW. That is a HORRIBLE feeling. Even thinking about it makes me shudder... and secretly happy I bite my nails.

I know, I know, nailbiting is not a good idea. My former s/o used to "punish" me when i bit my nails, but to no avail. Guess when you start a habit at age 7 you're stuck with it for life.

You try a scented nail polish? It helped break me of the habit (till I joined the military and learned all sorts of new kinds of stress)
Went through bottles of a vanilla scented one as a teen. Would smell the polish and mentally kick myself- no bad, don't do that.
 
My sister who is a very creative dressmaker by profession and natural talent has made a habit throughout life of accidently sewing over her finger as she guides material through the sewing machine (works at high speed)....right through fingernails and all. Makes me squirm evertime I think of it.:eek:

Start hanging with Shadowsdream. She will break you of that habit real fast and real well.
