In answer, no, I have not had much physical contact, even as a kid, the hug thing was not there, in fact, with my ex, I recoiled at touch, it took a good while to get used to it. The ex used to call me cold for the lack of sensitivity.

I have had back injuries, and head injuries, I do have nerve path damage leading to failing hearing in one ear and the same side failing eyesight , but the sensitivity thing was not there long before those injuries. If it  was a recent thing, given the injuries sustained, I might understand , but am non plussed as to  what is  happening.

The Doctor just simply told me, some people are more sensitive than others. Look mate, if I do not notice flesh burning or smell it, I don't feel it except for a dull sensation, the pain one would expect I don't register.

Ok, I need to ask this question ;

Is anyone here not ticklish, I mean if someone were to attempt to tickle you, you would not feel the sensation ?

I ask, as I am not ticklish, I was once, a long time ago, but now, nothing, if someone tried to tickle me, I would go , yes, am I supposed to feel something here ?

In fact, I feel few sensations, and instantaneous pain, well that quickly fades. I put the pain thing down to learning to white light pain years ago, but I don't know, am I doing this subconsciously now or not, or is it, my feeling is going.

Can anyone shed any light on this or am I going uncomfortably numb ?

What about D/s, has anyone come across anyone like this, and is there a way it can be sorted out or at least bettered ?

Personally, I think this is a mental thing not a physical thing, I have at some point switched something off in my mind and have since lost where the switch is, or even forgotten it's existence.
