Pain Tolerence

[Beck31]

Not sure if this has been discussed before. Again I think this is something that
is an individual thing. My pain tolerence level is right up there with my Mistress.
She really has to be careful though. Anyway really just wanted others's thoughts on the subject. Thanks in advance.

 

[Netzach]

What's the question? Do you have one?

I'm a wuss about pain being controlled by other people or pain that's from some kind of external trauma. If people come at my face with something I will cry and hit them. I have to be out at the dentist or else someone may bleed other than me. This gets worse every year for some reason.

I can take a cane right up to the point where I start bleeding and then I'm kind of done. If I can't see it I do a lot better. 40 min of getting inked was horrible, in my opinion, so I thought I was a total wuss.

Then I literally almost exploded my intestines being "tough" according to my GI, so go figure, he told me other people would have been begging to be admitted.

Emotionally, I think I'm up for some kind of award this year.

 

[Beck31]

I wondered what other subs's experiences with pain tolerence has been like.
The mind is a powerful tool and pain doesn't have to be physical. For example
I can pretty much take whatever my Mistress throws at me now without having
to use a safe word. She can literally describe an infliction and without touching I can feel it.

Sure, language is pretty evocative stuff, guided visualization and meditation and hypnosis are all things people use all the time even without being aware that they are.

Still there's a pedal to the metal of a good stiff beating that's unlike anything else.

 

[Beck31]

Yeah. A good mix of physical and mental pain. That is an interesting point.
The hypnosis you mentioned, my Mistress calls that "The Zone".

I do a lot better with that chruning sort of cloudy, aching pain that you get affecting big chunks of your body or really deep organ/bone kind of shit. I tried walking to class once as an ovarian cyst was exploding in my gut and it took ten minutes and almost passing out in order for me to turn back (and go to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack). Though that might be more just plain idiocy than tolerance. This may be why I enjoy the pain of having 200+ lbs of his dead weight on me, though, and it's usually not being able to breathe that makes me tell him to stop.

Sharp acute pain I'm a total wimp about, though. (So far I haven't been able to stand getting hit hard enough to bruise, but I'm expecting that to change when we get better at the administering pain stuff.) Cat scratches seem to be the only exception to this rule. When my preshus babbus draw blood it means they love me

 

[Beck31]

Hmm. I would not advocate letting yourself get hit with fists. Thats abuse and not part of the lifestyle imo. Not judging though since I really don't know you or your master. I can take a riding crop and light slapping but not like haul off and bieng hit kinda shit. I can also take bieng bitten and bound with cuffs or straps though. But yeah as long as you and your master are comfortable and safe in your particular practice.

Getting hit with fists is actually part of something called "rough body play," and it is most certainly part of the lifestyle, especially for those of us that are masochists.

 

[Beck31]

Hmm. Okay. Well I did not know that. I'm still kinda new to this lifestyle. I might have bruises from where I was bound and I do like when my Mistress plays with me kinda hard but still. I guess to each their own. To me that really
sounds extreme.

Dude, getting a tattoo is pain like WHOA. It's purely mind over matter for me - I only do it because I want the art.

Bodies have safer and less safe areas to be hit, what you hit someone with doesn't matter much (your closed fist or a thuddy flogger at the same level of "hard") outside of whether it has sharp edges on it, in which case you're probably going to be in trouble. People freak out about punching into those safe zones because of how it looks. The same reason they get off on that.

It's my center upper back and apparently he went really deep, so who knows.

One thing to keep in mind is that bruises are NOT always an indicator of the level of pain that put them there. My breasts bruise from our silly little Koosh flogger, which delivers delicious sting-type pain, nothing heavy to it. OTOH, Master can wail at me with our favorite crazy-heavy buffalo flogger until his shoulder is worn out and I'm in the stratosphere somewhere, and there won't be a mark on me. Mind you, I'm on a serious blood thinner, and I still don't bruise, except for those thin skin spots. (And yet I can get deep dark bruises elsewhere and not have a clue where they came from. )

*giggles* Our bodies are wonderful things!! I find myself in a most similar situation... I bruise from the slightest bump into something, but other than my ass, I don't bruise from sceneing. And even with bruises, it doesn't mean I couldn't/didn't want to take more. Everyone has different levels of limitations... And I wish my breasts would bruise!! I can imagine how enjoyable those feel afterwards!! Lucky lucky!

Yep, this.

I would much rather be punched than hit with anything else. There's no sting at all to a closed fist.

Momma be caaareful, yowza.

I have an amusing warfarin story where I was sessioning with a fabbbb client walked into a spreader bar, hitting my head, and of course blood thinners + head injury = giant goose egg and a trip to the hospital right then and there. Fine moments in pro domination. He had no bruises at all, we were ten minutes in!

Completely agreed. I'd prefer the force of skin to skin, than object to skin. But that's personal preference.

 

[missgiter]

I have a relatively high paint tolerance.. and I -love- bruises. It takes a fair amount of pain for me to bruise, and I am fascinated with it for days after.

Punching .. While I often do it joking around and find it amusing and enjoy it, it doesn't do anything sexually for me.

But, each of us have different limits.. Edge play for me is -quite- arousing. But my edge could be quite farther than somebody else's.

But getting a tattoo hurt! I have one between my shoulder blades that's of a relatively good size. that HURT. He did go a bit deep in places, but it hurt enough that I'm not sure I'll ever get another. I really like the art and the piece, but it was quite a bit for me.

It's not only the force of skin on skin that I love but the intimacy of it as well.

I think that's why I love face slapping so much. It's incredibly intimate and one of the biggest exchanges of trust that I can think of between us.

I LOVE face slapping. It is a trust thing, but its also so confronting and shocking for me, much more than a spanking on my ass (which I live too don't get me wrong). I like being slapped in the face with another part of the male anatomy. But that usually doesn't hurt and is more humiliating than anything

Also not a huge fan of being hit with objects. It's silly but I feel like being hit with objects is abusive. But that's my limit and I totally understand others feel very differently.

I can stand pain and pinching and biting to pretty much anywhere except my clit. I don't enjoy that at all.

 

[Rainbow_dash]

mines pretty high. some stallions are rough.

 

[ouchfeelsgood]

My pain tolerance is relatively high, but it varies with the implement and area of my body it's used on. I love CBT -- it's definitely the most arousing type of pain -- for me.

Ass spanking, and nipple clamping for me. No such thing as too hard!!
