Tapestry -> RE: Increasing One's Pain Tolerance (2/7/2006 8:37:16 PM)

I think all the replies you've gotten are accurate and helpful. Just remember that every person is different, so what works for one person may not work for the next person. For me, a blindfold is essential, to allow me to feel safe and secure in my own happy place. Warm-up is pretty helpful too, although not always necessary. Master knows what's best. Also, He keeps one hand on me somewhere most of the time, usually maintaining contact, and it's very comforting. But the best thing for me is sub-space. Once I'm down deep enough, I don't feel the pain, just the pleasure. The sting of the cane becomes a lovely warm ass. In general I do prefer thud over sting, deep over surface, but in sub-space it's all good. Try this article about sub-space, I found it helpful. Sub-Space The last thing that is essential for me, which has already been mentioned by Knight of Mists, is mental preparation. If I put all else aside, and focus solely on the experience, block out everything else, sounds, sights, thoughts, and let my mind be at peace, I am relaxed and ready to enjoy all that Master has in store for me. Just remember, your mileage may vary with any and all suggestions you've received, because we're all different. Above all, just have fun. This is one of the most pleasurable experiences I can think of. Oh yeah, KoM is also right about the importance of after care. Plenty of reassurance that i did well, that i pleased Master, that He's proud of me and loves me very much, plenty of cuddling, holding, soothing, and once i'm able to talk, then yes, lots of discussion about the scene. Enjoy!
