I agree....I've seen people of both sexes take some pretty intense ass whoopins. And I have seen both men and women that had very low pain tolerances. I think more important than the level of pain inflicted is whether or not the desired result is obtained.

KoM...

I have to agree with most of this. But one things for sure. If you can't take time for after play. Don't even start the foreplay.

Nay, I'm not in a rush, and lucky enough for me, my skunk is really good about Aftercare, even when I, in my stubborness, tell him I don't need it.

On the giving end though, he is a bit afriad of letting me lay on a good ass whuppin' so I don't press the issue. I know, all good things, come with time.

Part of me wishes I could rush things, but I know well enough that would only end in disaster.

I have loved all of your posts and discussions about pain and use a lot of head games on myself to transform normally painful sensations into absolutely, delightful ones. Another way that i am trying to increase my pain tolerance is through hypnosis. Go to Warpmymind.com. There are some great files available, including free downloads.

But, I am wondering, how does one go about increasing their pain tolerence?
========

i have been avoiding this topic..since i am not..by MY choice..INTO s/m...per se.
but
i assume..guess? it takes time, patience, a loving-hand---

i really do not know.
i am one, that i hate pain of any sense..and i despise havin my ass beat...

i hate stubbing my toe...or being poked in a hospital.
dammit..pain is pain and it HURTS.

i wish.............i knew..because Mistress enjoys...play.
i do not.
but She sure does.

if you come up with a secret cure..lemme know?

Endorphin levels from pain take some time to build up in the body. I suggest stretching the 'session' over an entire day or weekend, not trying to cram a weekend's worth of caning into an hour.

Slow, gradual build-ups in cropping, for instance, work quite well, rather than full-force blows starting from the gate. Associative tricks work wonder, too—like giving pleasure, then giving pain, giving pleasure, then, pain—though it should be noted doing this will make a PAIN SLUT, not necessarily what everyone wants...

Although I often don't have a weekend to devote to the project, this is my approach as well, amayos. Over a period of time, I like to mix caressing, pleasure and pain. this is more interesting to me, and I believe that having these kinds of breaks ultimately enables the sub to take more.

My other suggestion to slipstreme would be to take a very organized approach, and set a goal of a certain number of strokes. sometimes it is easier to take 20 when you know there will not be a 21st. Then next time try for a few more. Seems logical that this might work :)

But, I am wondering, how does one go about increasing their pain tolerence?

There is a book out there called ''The Warriors Edge'' By Col. John Alexander {The father of non-lethal weapons technology} and Major Richard Groller, that devotes at least one and another partial chapter to the whole mind over matter/ breathing mantra/techniques. I talks about training that involves Special Forces operators being caught behind enemy lines and the whole art ''resistance under pressure'' and overcoming pain and torture. It's hard to find because it's out of print, but once in a while it shows up on e-bay and the seller is unaware of what they have. I highly recommend it if you can acquire it.

But, I am wondering, how does one go about increasing their pain tolerence?

I am interested in being able to recieve more pain than I know I can at this point in time, and perhaps wear some scars from the sessions, but how much I can take, and when I will safeword is beyond me. I do however, admit it may take a long time before I get into heavy scenes, and even longer before I dish them out (lack experience).

Patience ........ no other way to explain this. Slow build up. Eah time allowing yourself to be pushed just a half a step further. Not a whole step. If that half step goes good. Then try the other half.

I find myself so eager to go further, but I have to force myself to slow down. I have to have Master calm me an force me to slow down as well. I know I love the pain, I know I want more. But I have been known to go to far at times. And end up paying the price for days afterwards. So far I do not wear any scars on the out side from going to far.

During scenes with Master, I have to be built up slowly. But once my heighten area I reached. I'm no longer in control of my own actions, they become the responsiblity of Master. I trust him enough to know I'll be alright during... and after. Hense the "trust" words again. While Increasing ones pain tolerance, one has to have trust in the one inflicting the pain.

In the mean time, relax, enjoy what you already like... an enjoy the journey into the realm.

Do not know if this will help you or not. The more turned on I am the more pain I can take and want. But we did go slow like others have said.

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!

Hello There,
For about five months I wnet through my pain tolerance training. What I found is if I played hard every weekend I seemed to be able to take more than when I played less. Now I've only played like 4 times since the beginning of December so I'm right back to square one & spankings sting like fire when I get blessed with one. For me it's doing it often enough to basically use my secenes as building blocks. Once I take a three week or so break it's as painfull to be spanked as when I was new.
I think pain tolerance in S&M has to be approached like an athlete trains for a triathelon. People who don't condition themselves well won't be able to go the distance till they put the time into it first. In short my advice is if practice makes perfect so practice, practice, practice.
Sincerely,
sub suzanne

I as a Sadist actually prefer to not have My masocists slaves build up tolerances to pain.
I think its more those who are not masocists who need to utilize a timeliine of build up of tolerances to pain
and not those who are masocists who desire the chemical highs pain gives them.
But Im a Sadist and My opinions are as such differ from the laxed community as a whole.

I don't know, but I believe I have throughly impressed myself with the session I had last night. Thank you all for your insight though.

Needlesstosay, I have come away with marks for the first time since beginning this journey.

I will keep the information in mind, especially to watch myself in case I go too far with it, cause I know the people that I am with, for the most part, are more submissive than I am, and will do as I request of them.
